Residence Inn by Marriott Munich Central

Hotel Description

I’ll be honest – when I first walked into the Residence Inn by Marriott Munich Central, I wasn’t expecting much beyond the usual extended-stay setup. But this place actually surprised me in ways that matter when you’re staying somewhere for more than just a quick business trip.

The suites here feel more like proper apartments than hotel rooms, which is exactly what you want when Munich’s charm makes you want to settle in for a while. I mean, having a full kitchen isn’t just nice – it’s practically essential when you discover the incredible produce at Viktualienmarkt and want to actually do something with those gorgeous tomatoes and local cheeses. The living areas have this relaxed vibe that doesn’t scream “corporate hotel,” and honestly, after spending days wandering through the Altstadt’s cobblestone streets, coming back to a space where you can actually spread out feels like a small luxury. The beds are solid too – none of that too-soft nonsense that leaves you aching after a day of walking from Marienplatz to the English Garden.

What really won me over was how the staff seemed to actually know Munich, not just the tourist highlights everyone hits. The front desk pointed me toward this fantastic bakery about three blocks away that I never would’ve found otherwise (the pretzels there put the touristy ones to shame), and they knew which U-Bahn lines were running late without having to look it up. You know what’s rare? Hotel staff who can tell you the difference between the beer gardens locals prefer versus the ones that are just photo opportunities. The location works well too – you’re close enough to walk to the main sights when you feel energetic, but far enough from the crowds that you’re not dealing with constant noise from drunk tourists stumbling back to their hostels. I noticed the neighborhood gets pretty quiet after 9 PM, which was perfect for someone like me who needs actual sleep between sightseeing marathons. The only minor thing is that parking can get a bit tight if you’re driving – Munich wasn’t exactly designed for cars, and this area reflects that reality. But honestly, once you’re here, you probably won’t need your car much anyway.

  The hotel really exceeded my expectations. It is ideal for a family stay, there are all amenities in the room you might need when staying with a child. The comfort was all over the place. The room was so spacious. We loved our stay. If we visit Munich again with kids, I will not search for any other hotel. Thank you!
