Hotel am Markt

Hotel am Markt

Situated in the pedestrian zone of Viktualienmarket, this is a small, fairly simple but comfortable hotel in a great location. If position, position, position is of utmost importance to you, this is tops. Everything within the old center of Munich is within walking distance and there is public transportation close by if you need to go further. The added bonus is the market, food stalls and beer garden just outside the door.

The location is tops but you need to put this hotel into some perspective. It is a good place to stay if all you need is a place to sleep. But even here, you can have problems. Our first room was on the beer garden side of the building. There was a nice view but there were people walking around, talking and calling out all night. Shutting the windows helped a little, but with no air-conditioning, it got quite warm in the room, even in late October. It would probably be fine in winter with the window down because customers would go home earlier and there is a heating system in the room. Around 6am or so, the restaurants started setting up and deliveries began to arrive. We had a poor sleep. This room had no bathroom.

We stayed one night on the other side of the hotel and had a little better luck. Our double room was basic, but clean, and the bathroom was modern and gleaming. There was also a TV and a small table and two chairs. However, in the European tradition the rooms are small and somewhat oddly shaped (some very odd - one U-shaped room wraps around a hallway shower!) so you don’t have a lot of room.

The owner has maintained a nostalgic decor in the lobby. Behind the reception desk is a wall of photographs of friends or former guests. That is a nice touch. The service was pretty good, with staff manning the small reception desk 24 hours. The glass elevator, however, is the smallest elevator I've ever seen.

The breakfast included in the room rate was basic, just consisting of rolls, jam, cheeses and coffee. This hotel is for tourists who won't linger in their room but are adventuring in Munich. Room rates are around $80 without bathrooms and $100 with. Not great value but you can’t beat the position.
