Schwan Locke

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Schwan Locke? It’s one of those places that actually gets the whole “extended stay” concept right – and I mean really right, not just slapping a kitchenette in a regular hotel room and calling it done. Walking into the lobby, there’s this immediate sense that they’ve thought about how people actually want to live when they’re away from home for more than a couple nights.

The rooms – well, they call them apartments and honestly, that’s what they feel like. I’m talking proper living spaces with kitchens you’d actually want to cook in, not those sad little setups with a mini-fridge and a single burner that makes you question your life choices. The design hits that sweet spot between sleek and livable – clean lines everywhere but with enough warmth that you don’t feel like you’re sleeping in a showroom. What really got me was the attention to small things: decent lighting for reading (hotels almost always mess this up), proper storage space, and – this might sound weird but hear me out – the walls are thick enough that you’re not getting a play-by-play of your neighbor’s phone calls.

The staff here actually seems to know what they’re doing, which is refreshing. Check-in was smooth, and when I had questions about the area, they gave me real answers instead of just pointing to a generic tourist map. The location works well if you want to be connected but not drowning in crowds – you can walk to plenty of spots without dealing with the chaos of being right in the thick of everything. Parking situation is sorted too, which anyone who’s driven around looking for a spot at 11 PM will appreciate. The 8.7 rating makes sense to me – it’s the kind of place that delivers on what it promises without trying to be something it’s not. If you’re staying somewhere for work, relocating, or just prefer having your own space to spread out, this hits differently than your typical hotel experience. The price point reflects the quality, and honestly, when you factor in having a proper kitchen and the space to actually unpack, it starts making a lot more sense than cramming into a standard room and eating overpriced room service every night.

  I visited Munich for work from May 1-11, 2025 and stayed at Schwan Locke for the entirety of my trip. As a late 30’s woman traveling alone and to Munich for the first time, I wasn’t always sure what to do or how to navigate the city. The staff at Schwann Locke were so incredibly helpful, with everything from figuring out how to navigate things in my apartment that were new to me (laundry, lighting, towel rack), to finding restaurants, to purchasing train tickets, to helping me figure out what souvenirs I might being home as gifts. They were kind, patient, and knowledgeable about the city.
  
  While everyone on staff helped, I also want to single out a few members of their team who were especially supportive. First, Stefan and Demis were often present in the afternoons and evenings during my trip. Their level of hospitality cannot be matched, and I’ve never stayed anywhere in my years of international travel where I experienced such a high level of courtesy and care. In addition, Dejan, one of the staff members who regularly worked overnight, was equally hospitable and made me feel very safe staying there. Like Stefan and Demis, Dejan was also incredibly thoughtful in his recommendations and conversation. Schwan Locke has someone in the lobby area 24 hours a day, so if there is anything a guest needs or any issues, someone is there to help. From my experience, Dejan was there most evenings. While I didn’t frequently come home late, I did have some very early mornings and I was always pleasantly greeted. I also got help arranging an early morning taxi ride to the airport. Throughout my stay, I spent a decent amount of time in the lobby area and also saw the Schwan Locke staff interact with lots of other guests. They were always polite, professional, patient, and helpful. In other words, I don’t think my experience there was unique compared to other guests, and yet, it was incredibly unique to me when compared to other places I’ve stayed. Rooms were also wonderful.

• Terri from United Kingdom – 12 May 2025 (9/10)

  Everything was wonderful from the moment we walked in. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the room was lovely and had everything (even a freezer with an ice cube tray!). Really nice touches, like some tea and coffee and a bottle to fill with tap water and keep in the fridge. Walking distance to old town and the train station. Would recommend this hotel.
