Serviced Apartment München-Messe/G

Hotel Description

Okay, so this serviced apartment is tucked away in the Trudering-Riem district – you know, the area that most tourists completely skip over, but honestly? That might be exactly why you’d want to stay here. It’s on Willy-Brandt-Allee, which sounds super official but it’s actually just a quiet residential street that feels refreshingly normal after dealing with Munich’s tourist crowds.

The apartment itself is on the first floor (European first floor, so one flight up), and I mean, it’s exactly what you’d expect from a solid 4-star serviced place. Nothing fancy, but everything works properly – which is more than I can say for some of the boutique places I’ve crashed at in Schwabing. The kitchen actually has decent knives and pans you can cook with, not those sad plastic things that barely cut butter. What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets at night. Trudering-Riem isn’t exactly party central, so you’re not dealing with drunk tourists stumbling down cobblestones at 3 AM like you would near Marienplatz.

Here’s the thing about this location – it’s genuinely close to the Messe (convention center), which is probably why you’re looking at it in the first place if you’re being honest. But what’s actually cool is that you’re also right by the old airport grounds, which they’ve turned into this massive park called Landschaftspark. Perfect for morning runs or just getting some air when you’re tired of being indoors. The S-Bahn connection is decent too – S2 line gets you into the city center in about 20 minutes, though you’ll want to check the schedule because it’s not as frequent as the lines closer to downtown. There’s a Rewe supermarket about a 10-minute walk away, plus some surprisingly good Vietnamese and Turkish places that locals actually eat at (always a good sign).

Look, the 7.3 rating probably reflects the fact that it’s not Instagram-pretty or dripping with Bavarian charm – it’s more functional than romantic. But sometimes that’s exactly what you need, especially if you’re here for business or just want a proper base without paying city center prices. The WiFi actually works for video calls, there’s decent parking if you’re driving, and the whole building has that clean, efficient German vibe where everything just… works. Just don’t expect much help with restaurant recommendations from the front desk – they’re polite but clearly not hospitality lifers. Still, for what it is and where it is, it does the job well.

Reviews

• Very Good – Ahmed from Morocco – April 10, 2025 (8/10)

  Good location, 2 min from the Exhibition

• It feels like staying in a council estate, and there are no shops around. I wouldn't stay again. – Adam from New Zealand – August 5, 2025 (6/10)

  Nice bathroom with a big shower that had the best water pressure I've experienced in my three months of travelling Europe, and I appreciated that there was shampoo and body wash.
  
  What could be improved: To be completely honest, it didn't make me feel like I was on holiday in Europe, it felt like I was living on a council estate. It was depressing.
  
  You're out in the suburbs, ages away from the city. You're looking at a half-hour by train from Munich Hauptbahnhof, and then a 600m walk through a largely concrete grey suburb. I had no idea when booking it was so far from anything, and there are no shops or supermarkets around. 600m away back by the railway station there is a complex with a few shops, maybe a cinema, but you have very limited options. I had to get some basic groceries delivered, and I didn't go out to explore Munich as much as I would've liked because it's so far away.
  
  A washing machine is advertised, but you need to pay using the WeWash app. However, there's no cellular reception in the laundry (it's in the basement) let alone the wifi from your room reaching down there, so you will need to book your washing machine or dryer from at least ground level, and then go down to actually use it.
  
  A cabinet door next to the fridge has a broken top hinge, so the door is poorly held in place by tape that has long since worn out. So, I had to hold the cabinet door up to open the fridge. It's hard to explain, but it is another annoying thing and could be fixed easily if the owner gave two shits.
  
  The building is average. I got the sense that a lot of lower-income people or families live in the surrounding apartments. There is a guy next door who is very friendly, but he does talk to himself and sing on his balcony sometimes, which can be a little disconcerting. As soon as I arrived, I regretted booking this place.

• Fair – Matthias from New Zealand – July 21, 2025 (5/10)

  What could be improved: There is no dry rack for clothes in the room. The washing machine is not in the room too. There is an additional fee to use the washing machine. It does not match the host´s description and did not match my expectation.

• Very Good – John from Germany – July 23, 2025 (8/10)

  Schickes kleines Apartment mit eigenem Badezimmer

• Very Good – Markus from France – June 7, 2025 (8/10)

  Leicht mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln erreichbar, Bäckerei/Einkaufszentrum in unmittelbarer Nähe.

• Gute Unterkunft, gute Lage – Duygu from Germany – May 5, 2025 (7/10)

  Kleines gemütliches Zimmer. In den Betten konnte man gut schlafen und im großen und Ganzen war es recht heimlich. Man ist sehr nah an den Riem Arcaden und an der U-Bahn. Daher war die Lage sehr gut
  
  What could be improved: Leider fehlten sämtliche Küchenutensilien, sodass man nur eingeschränkt kochen konnte. Auf den Bildern waren Schüsseln, Teller, Salz&Pfeffer etc. abgebildet, aber davon hatten wir leider nichts. Gerade so Tassen, Besteck und nh kleine Pfanne sowie Topf. Der Tisch nimmt etwas viel Platz weg, aber damit kam man zurecht

• Pleasant – Thomas from Germany – August 16, 2023 (6/10)

  Eigentlich ein ordentlich ausgestattetes Zimmer mit Küchenzeile zu einem guten Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Vom Zentrum entfernt, dafür ruhiger und mit der U-Bahn gut erreichbar. In den Riem Arcaden ganz in der Nähe kann man gut einkaufen.
  
  What could be improved: Die versprochenen Küchenutensilien waren nicht bzw. nur sehr spärlich vorhanden. Keine einzige Tasse für Tee oder Kaffee, stattdessen nur zwei Gläser, davon eines so verschmutzt, dass es nicht zu reinigen war (zumal außer einem Geschirrtuch auch eine Spülbürste bzw. Ein Spülschwamm fehlten). Außerdem gab es kein Schneidebrett, nur ein einziges riesiges Schneidemesser, keinen einzigen kleinen Löffel. Auf telefonische Nachfrage wurde zuerst empfohlen, einen Kaffee in der im Gebäude befindlichen Bäckerei zu kaufen. Dann wurde zugesagt, am nächsten Tag eine Tasse zu bringen, was nie geschah.

• Good – Christoph from Germany – August 9, 2023 (7/10)

  Gut eingerichtet. Preis gut
  
  What could be improved: Durch ein Feuer im Keller vor meiner Ankunft waren elektronische Versorgungen und Infrastruktur außer Betrieb. Entsprechend auch der Fahrstuhl und die Wäschereinigung. Von der Hausverwaltung gab es dazu keinerlei Informationen.

• einerseits schön abgeschieden, andererseits die gute Anbindung zur U-Bahn – Wolfram from Germany – April 11, 2023 (8/10)

  Man ist nach der Schlüsselübergabe völlig anonym.
  
  What could be improved: Die Schlüsselübergabe war etwas konfus.

• Exceptional – Alessandro from Italy – May 21, 2025 (10/10)

  Monolocale pulito e dotato del necessario per un soggiorno indipendente. Proprietaria molto gentile!
  La fermata U2 Messestadt West è a 5 minuti a piedi, con un grande centro commerciale alle spalle e il Riemer Park. Raccomandato per chi cerca un luogo tranquillo al giusto prezzo e con la possibilità di raggiungere il centro senza cambiare metro.
