It is a travesty to describe this as a four star hotel - I would give it 2 1/2 to 3 maximum. Rooms are really jaded - although the bathrooms have been done up and are very clean. Grungy hallways with 70's style fire doors and stained carpets. My room was about the size of a decent prison cell overlooking... more

I have stayed in a few hotels in this class in Munich and I was impressed by the Excelsior. I paid €130 for a room (excl breakfast) and - I think - you get a lot for your money. Hotel is a bit odd - in a 60s/70s precinct but step inside and you are transported into a sort of... more

Wow - I'm shocked by some of the reviews on this hotel. This property is billed as 4stars - in reality it's a solid 3star. It does have a GREAT location (close to the train station and on a quiet side street across from a local coffee shop & a Starbucks). However, the rooms are very tired with stains on... more

We stayed at the hotel right before Christmas. It was right by the train station which was perfect since we came in and left Munich by train. It's also a short walk along a nice pedestrian path to Marienplatz. The staff was very nice and our room was warm and cozy although it took a little while for the room... more

We picked this hotel for the quality of service and it was a good choice. We shamefully didn't do our homework about what to do in Munich since we were just stopping by from a previous destination. No fear. The front desk, in perfect English, gave us many ideas, booked a great New Year's Eve dinner for us and helped... more

The Excelsior is only 100 meters from the main RR station which is good if you travel by train. There are other hotels we would have preferred closer to the Marianplatz, which is a 10 minute walk, but we couldn't get a room elsewhere. We had a very nice junior suite, room 545. This is on an interior court with... more

All time favorite in Munich with cozy rooms and excellent service allways. more

The "luck" above is of certain importance, as for the same rate you can receive and extra large room in good location or twice smaller "internal" one, overlooking the wall. The real disaster may happen if you take single - a couple of years ago I recall to have received one no more than 3x3,5 m in size (and in... more

The staff went out of their way for us. Will definitely stay here again if we are ever in Munich. Very convenient to the train station and a short walk to the city center. more
