Munich is one of my favourite destination in Europe. It’s a lively, dynamic city, big enough to have many international events but small enough to be a great walking city. On this trip to Munich I stayed courtesy of the Schiller5 Hotel and Boardinghouse located just near the main train station.
Even though it’s called a hotel and boarding house, it’s really just an apartment hotel and a very nice one at that. Rooms range from single one bed apartments (which I had) to two bed, two bath family suites. On entering my room there was an entrance hall with a small open kitchen. Off this room was the bed/living room, the bathroom and a separate WC.
The Room
I had a single but the room was huge and included a work desk and tea making facilities. The single bed was more like a small double and everything was spotless and very comfortable. There was free wifi in the room (and throughout the hotel) which was fast but I had some trouble staying connected. A number of times I had to disconnect and reconnect to get it working again but it was all good in the end.
The Bathroom
I initially thought this hotel was brand new because everything looks so perfect but in fact it was renovated a number of years ago. It’s clearly a very well maintained hotel. I love the fittings in the bathroom and it’s one of the cleanest I’ve ever seen. The WC is in a separate room with its own hand basin.
The Kitchen
I didn’t cook during my stay at Schiller5 but the kitchen was fully equipped with cooking utensils, plates and cutlery etc. There are hotplates and a microwave. The nice touch here is the fridge which is stocked with free drinks; water, orange juice, soft drinks and beer are offered and replenished each day.
The Breakfast
The breakfast had plenty to choose from including all the usual; eggs, sausages, hash browns, cereal, fruit etc plus a few extras like pancakes, yum!
The Location
Located two minutes from the main train station, this is the most convenient location in Munich for me and I always stay in this area when I visit. Schiller5 is walking distance to Marienplatz, Munich’s main art galleries and the grounds for festivals like Oktoberfest and the Tollwood Winter Festival.
Summary
Large, modern apartments in a great location and with free wifi, Schiller5 is my new favourite hotel in Munich.
