Perfect central location and courteous staff. Accommodations were clean and comfortable although the green shag carpet could use a refresh. The area in front of the hotel appears tol be boarded up and going through transition, but would still recommend for easy access to Munich sites.

Great stay at Excelsior by Geisel
The room was clean and comfortable, and the location couldn’t be more convenient—just a 5-minute walk from the main train station. The on-site restaurant was very nice, but what stood out most was the bed—it was exceptionally comfortable. After a long day of walking and sightseeing, it was exactly what I needed for a perfect night’s rest. Highly recommend if you’re looking for both comfort and convenience in Munich!

The staff at this hotel are exceptionally helpful and attentive. We used the laundry service and it was quick and thorough. The breakfasts here were excellent as well. We had an adjoining room with our college aged sons and everything was clean and well appointed. Close to many transit options and walkable as well. We would definitely stay here again!

This is the worse hotel in the world as they prefer to leave their room unoccupied but not allowed their guests to continue suffer for noise. The reason is we sold out the same category of the room the guest booked. It’s unbelievable, be careful b/4 make your booking
