My girlfriend and I recently spent a weekend in Munich and stayed at Hotel Amba. The location is perfect, right next to the central train station and within easy walking distance of the major sites. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was not large but certainly big enough, and the bed and blankets were very comfortable. The... more

We picked this hotel because of its convenient location right next to the main railway station since we arrived in Munich by train and planed to spend our only full day in this region by doing a daytrip to the Zugspitze. But the railway station is also right in the middle of the city. The room was quite small and... more

My wife, daughter and I had a very good experience at this hotel. We went on that day tour of the Neuschwanstein Castle that went by train. The hotel was convieniently located right across the street from the rail station. After coming back from a great day but being exhausted, it was very nice to just have to go over... more

This was the most disgusting hotel I've stayed at in my adult life. The room was nothing like its website depiction. The room was so run down that the walls had stains all over them, the sink was nearly cracked in two, the bathroom had mold ALL OVER and the door looked as if someone had tried to take a... more

We stayed here for New Years 2008, and thankfully the Amba is literally right outside the main train station Hofbahnhof (very convenient if you are catching the train in from another city/country/the airport – especially at a late hour of the night), but is not really in the centre of town – you will need to walk about 10 minutes... more

Stayed at the Amba for a trip to Oktoberfest last year. This hotel was very close to everything, from the Festival to the train station to sites downtown. We were able to walk everywhere. The hotel was very clean. The rooms are small and with no frills, but if all you need is a place to sleep, they are fine.... more

Stayed here for two nights in late April. Very close to the train station and especially some of the tram lines. Booked a single bed room and was given a room slightly larger than a shoe box. It wasn't more than 10' wide and 30' long. Bed and bedding were comfortable. The bathroom had to have been a closet in... more

My trip to Munich had a major problem: I was going to arrive in the middle of one of their major trade fair weeks, so every hotel I asked for a quotation either a) didn’t bother to offer me a room for just a couple of days because they were expecting reservations for the full week; or b) simply applied... more

Spent the last two weeks of May, 2006, at the Amba. Perfect location as a base for touring Germany, Austria and Switzerland by rail as it is opposite the main train station. The place is spotless, brightly furnished and quiet. Staff is friendly and efficient. Apparently this place is mostly booked solid by German visitors to Munich. Breakfast is plentiful... more
