Servus Apartments by Homaris

Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Servus Apartments by Homaris, you immediately get that “this is actually someone’s neighborhood” feeling rather than tourist central — which, honestly, I found refreshing. The building sits quietly on St.-Martin-Straße in Obergiesing, and there’s something genuinely local about the whole setup. It’s not flashy or trying too hard, just a solid three-star property that feels like it knows exactly what it’s doing. The entrance is clean and welcoming, though you won’t find any grand lobby theatrics here.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s what I really appreciated about this spot — you’re in a proper Munich neighborhood where actual residents live and work, not some sanitized hotel district. Obergiesing has this authentic Bavarian character that you miss when you’re stuck near Marienplatz with all the other tourists. The area feels safe and walkable, with local cafes and shops that aren’t marked up for visitors. You know what’s interesting? Couples seem to absolutely love this location (they rate it 8.2), and I can see why — it’s got that romantic, lived-in Munich vibe without the crowds.

The Apartment Experience

These aren’t hotel rooms in the traditional sense, they’re actual apartments — and that makes all the difference when you want to feel settled rather than just passing through. Each unit has its own kitchen setup, which means you can grab groceries from the local markets and actually cook if you want to. The spaces feel more like temporary homes than hotel accommodations, with thoughtful touches that show someone actually considered how people live, not just sleep. I mean, having your own fridge and proper counter space changes the whole dynamic of a longer stay.

Getting Around Munich

The public transport connections from this part of Munich are actually quite good — you’re not stranded in some remote suburb. The S-Bahn and bus lines get you into the city center without too much hassle, though it’s not like you can just walk to the Viktualienmarkt in five minutes. What I found nice was that you get the best of both worlds: easy access to Munich’s main attractions when you want them, but a quiet retreat when you need to decompress. The neighborhood itself has enough going on that you don’t always need to venture into the tourist zones.

Why Guests Love It

Recent guests have been rating the location at 8.1, and after spending time here, that makes perfect sense. It’s the kind of place that works especially well if you’re planning a longer stay or want to experience Munich like someone who actually lives there. The apartment-style setup means you’re not eating every meal out (your wallet will thank you), and the Obergiesing location gives you stories to tell that go beyond “we saw the glockenspiel.” Sure, it’s not going to wow you with upscale amenities or concierge services, but sometimes what you really want is a comfortable, well-located base that just works without any fuss.
