Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to Superior Hotel Präsident on Schwanthalerstr, you immediately get that “this is exactly where I need to be” feeling. It’s one of those three-star places that doesn’t try too hard but gets everything right — the kind of hotel where you can tell the staff actually cares about what they’re doing. The building has this solid, dependable presence that somehow manages to feel both professional and welcoming at the same time.
Location & Neighborhood
Honestly, the location is probably the hotel’s biggest win. You’re right in Ludwigsvorstadt, which means you can walk to pretty much everything that matters in Munich without feeling like you’re stuck in tourist central. The main train station is close enough that you won’t be dragging your luggage for miles, but you’re also within easy reach of the old town when you want to do the classic Munich thing. I mean, couples consistently rate this spot highly for good reason — there’s something about being able to stroll to a beer garden or catch the U-Bahn without any hassle that just makes a trip better.
The Rooms
The rooms are what you’d expect from a well-run three-star — clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully laid out without any unnecessary frills. You know what I appreciated most? They’ve clearly put effort into making sure everything actually works properly. The shower has decent water pressure, the Wi-Fi doesn’t cut out every five minutes, and there’s enough space to unpack without feeling like you’re living out of a suitcase. It’s not going to blow you away with fancy amenities, but you’ll sleep well and wake up ready to explore Munich.
Breakfast & Practical Matters
The buffet breakfast is honestly better than it needs to be for this price point. They’ve got the German breakfast staples covered — good bread, proper cold cuts, decent coffee — plus enough variety that you won’t get bored if you’re staying for several days. What really sets this place apart though is that they offer private parking, which anyone who’s tried to navigate Munich by car will tell you is basically gold. You can actually drive here and not spend your entire vacation budget on parking fees or circling blocks looking for a spot.
Why Guests Love It
Superior Hotel Präsident works because it understands what travelers actually need rather than what marketing departments think they want. You get a solid base in an excellent Munich location without paying for amenities you probably won’t use anyway. The staff knows the neighborhood well enough to point you toward the good local spots, and everything from check-in to check-out runs smoothly. It’s the kind of place where you spend your time exploring the city instead of dealing with hotel hassles — which, let’s be honest, is exactly what a good three-star should deliver.

Guest Reviews
Very clean room. 5-6 min walk from the train station. Super breakfast, everything was tasty. Different cheeses , vegetables etc.
What could be improved: Street around hotel was terrible
The location, breakfast, comfort.
What could be improved: The receptionists could have been a bit more welcoming and friendlier, but the other members of staff were lovely.. The choice of TV channels was very limited and focused on German, Turkish and Russian languages. The curtains were very thin and without blackout lining.
Friendly reception staff
What could be improved: pillows!
Clean and warm room, comfortable bed, friendly staff, in walking distance to the railway/ bus stations, metro and the old town
What could be improved: Thin curtains, the hotel is located on a very busy street
Hotel is located near main train station and public transportation is easily accessible through main train station and Karlsplatz metro. Clean and comfortable room. Breakfast was good. Staff was friendly and competent.
What could be improved: A little noisy because of Octoberfest, but this was not something the hotel could control.
It was very close to the train station and walkable to Oktoberfest. The staff serving the breakfast were all very nice. The front desk reception was so helpful. We had a situation with not wallet in a taxi and they helped us track the taxi driver down and get him to return the wallet. We also were helped with restaurant selections and getting a space to load our car when we checked out.
What could be improved: Nothing.
Nice and clean- walking distance to the town and Oktoberfest
What could be improved: Nothing
Nice rooms, comfortable beds and wonderful breakfast. Staff was welcoming and friendly.
What could be improved: Lots of construction in the area.
Very welcoming, near to lots of interesting places and have fans.
What could be improved: Lack of air conditioning.
The location is perfect in the centre of Munich and literally a five minute walk from the train station. On arrival we were greeted warmly by a very nice lady who spoke perfect English and allocated our room immediately. The room itself was very spacious with large windows overlooking Munich and has excellent facilities - all in all it was a very comfortable room. Breakfast the next day was a varied buffet style selection served by 2 friendly & helpful ladies. There was also the facility to store our bags in the hotel for the day after we had checked out , again facilitated by another friendly lady on reception who spoke perfect English. All in all a perfect experience and I would really like to visit again.
What could be improved: Nothing
