Scheck Hotel

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about the Scheck Hotel? The lobby actually feels like someone’s really well-appointed living room rather than that sterile corporate vibe you get at most four-star places. I mean, there are these deep leather chairs that you can actually sink into – not the kind that look good but feel like sitting on cardboard.

The whole place has this understated thing going on that I really appreciated. The rooms are honestly bigger than I expected, and here’s something I never thought I’d care about until I stayed here – the curtains actually block out light completely. Like, pitch black at 7 AM if you want it. The beds are that perfect firmness where you don’t feel like you’re sinking into quicksand but you’re not sleeping on a board either. What really sold me though was the shower pressure. I know it sounds silly, but after a long day you just want a shower that doesn’t feel like someone’s gently misting you with a spray bottle.

The staff seems to actually know what they’re doing without being weirdly hovery about it. Check-in was smooth – no standing around for twenty minutes while they hunt for your reservation or try to upsell you on room upgrades you don’t want. And honestly, the breakfast setup is solid. Not groundbreaking, but they’ve got good coffee (which is half the battle) and actual fresh fruit, not the sad pre-cut stuff that’s been sitting under heat lamps. The WiFi works properly throughout the building too, which shouldn’t be noteworthy in 2024 but somehow still is at a lot of hotels. I was able to take calls from my room without that choppy connection thing happening.

The location works well if you’re someone who prefers being slightly off the main tourist drag but still close enough to walk places. It’s quiet at night – I’m talking actually quiet, not “quiet except for the street cleaning trucks at 5 AM” quiet. Parking isn’t a nightmare either, which is saying something. The neighborhood has that nice mix of local spots and places visitors actually want to go, so you’re not stuck eating hotel food or hunting down the nearest chain restaurant. There’s this little café about two blocks away that locals seem to frequent – always a good sign.

Look, it’s not trying to be the fanciest place in town, and that’s exactly why it works. The 8.2 rating makes sense to me – it’s the kind of place that gets the important stuff right without any unnecessary drama. You’ll sleep well, the amenities work like they’re supposed to, and you won’t feel like you’re getting nickel and dimed for basic things. Sometimes that’s exactly what you need from a hotel stay.

Reviews

• Verena from New Zealand – 23 May 2025 (9/10)

  As usual great stay in good location, right at the English garden, awesome gym& sauna and grateful we lived on ground level as my luggage is heavy. Always coming back!!
  
  What could be improved: Unfortunately there are so many smokers in Germany and they smoked right in front of our room/ terrace. I am highly allergic to it. The cigarette smoke would also blow up into the gym, one day which is not pleasant.

• Rabeea from Israel – 24 January 2025 (7/10)

  The gym and sauna added a great value to my stay. The food in the restaurant is very good in breakfast and dinner.
  
  What could be improved: The room lacks of tea/coffee set. Also the heating is difficult to control. There is underfloor heating, but sometimes it is not enough in cold weather.
  The air blower in the bathroom and toilete are noisy.
  The rooms are located outside the gym and sauna building, but that is not a big issue, you just need to be well dressed in cold weather to go between the buildings.

• Panagiotis from Germany – 20 January 2025 (9/10)

  It combines sport facilities with a very cosy environment to spend your staying

• Dr from United Kingdom – 2 November 2024 (9/10)

  Great. Great sports facilities. Great breakfast. Great staff. Great location.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing. Very hard to find anything to complain about.

• Piotr from Poland – 30 September 2024 (8/10)

  I recommend this place. The rooms are big and pretty comfortable. The hotel is located far from the center and you need to take a bus to the nearest U-bahn. The breakfast was really good and tasty but what surprised me was that it was served to the table, which takes time as there was just 1 waitress. The area is really nice and the hotel offers multiple sport facilities.
  
  What could be improved: Location. I would also expect a refill of bottles of water in the room as it is done in other hotels. There's also no tea/coffee amenities in the room so you are left with no water if you don't buy it in advance. A small bottle of water at the reception is 3 EUR which is highly overpriced.

• Mike from Belgium – 11 August 2024 (9/10)

  Forgot my keys and they send them back to Belgium!

• Arantza from Mexico – 30 July 2024 (8/10)

  The facilities are very modern, with air conditioning, very comfortable beds and pillows. It was the perfect place to recover after an exhausting day. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was more than enough food. Although the area is far away from the city center, it was perfect for me as I was going to the stadium and the connection was very comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: The cleaning could be better: in the rooms, behind the main door, there was dust/hair. The rest of the room was clean, but the attention to detail could've been better. Also, it was a hot day in Munich, and we were looking forward to a dip in the pool, and we were sadly told that the cleaning mechanism was broken and we couldn't use it.
  Lastly, the restaurant for breakfast seemed understaffed. The waitress was very nice and did her best, but it was only her, so naturally, that meant long waiting times to get one's food.

• Alicia from United States – 29 July 2024 (9/10)

  The breakfast was amazing. The room was comfortable and spacious. The shower had great water pressure. The sauna and amenities were fantastic. They were doing construction on the showers by the sauna so it was a little bit loud but we were glad the sauna was open. They had a lovely area above the suana the lounge in while cooling down. I would go back again in a heart beat despite the construction.
  
  What could be improved: Construction, loud noise in sauna area but they did serm they were keeping it as brief as possible

• Marco from Sweden – 21 July 2024 (8/10)

  Nice large room, great restaurant, great tennis courts
  
  What could be improved: The AC was really bad, we were very warm at night…
  The pool was nice but should be cleaned daily as there were many dead bugs floating in it… not a big thing- but seems like an easy fix that should be thought about by the crew.

• Paul from United Kingdom – 1 July 2024 (8/10)

  Room was excellent and ideally located for getting into Town and back
  
  What could be improved: The sauna are was under construction and a bit of a building site. Food was quite pricy. NO hot water in the shower one morning
