This 74-room, lower-middle-range boutique hotel is a solid choice for budget-conscious travelers. A free daily breakfast is included in the rate as is Wi-Fi, and the location is convenient for those exploring the city without a car, as it's a short stroll to the city's main squares and a few blocks from Munich's largest train station, Hauptbahnhof. Rooms have a bold, contemporary design and all the expected amenities, including flat-screen TVs, minibars, and work desks. But there's no on-site restaurant, gym, or business center. Budget travelers that would rather go the B&B route could try Bed and Breakfast Zeevat.

Scene
Simple, welcoming hotel with few public spaces
Housed in a plain, modern white building on a quiet street,
the boutique Hotel Metropol is a family-run establishment with a multilingual
staff that’s eager to please. Beyond the small bar, the hotel offers little in
the way of amenities or public spaces. The wood-paneled front desk and reception room with marble floors feels somewhat traditional, though that's countered with a burgundy leather sofa, armchairs, and modern velvet stools with chrome bases. It's not the most cohesive or fashionable look, but it's also not unpleasant. And the location and rates attract business or leisure travelers on a budget who want to spend
most of their visit to Munich out and about.
Location
Convenient home base for exploring the city on foot, a few blocks from Munich’s main train station
The hotel is just a few blocks
from Hauptbahnhof, the main railway station in Munich. It's a busy commercial area, full of banks, eateries, drugstores, and other hotels. For guests
hoping to take in the city’s top sights on foot, the hotel is an 18-minute walk
from the main square Marienplatz and a 10-minute walk from Karlsplatz Square. The
airport is a one-hour commute on public transportation (no transfers
necessary), from a train station that is about three blocks from the hotel.
Rooms
Basic and comfortable, with mod decor, flat-screen TVs, and minibars
The Hotel Metropol’s 74 rooms are modern and a bit flamboyant, with
dark-wood furniture and a punchy color scheme of burgundy and lime green
accents. Striped curtains and wall-to-wall carpet with a swirling design dominate the look. Streamlined wood headboards with built-in nightstands, wardrobes, and wall panels add to the contemporary atmosphere. Minibars stocked with beverages, free Wi-Fi, electric kettles,
work desks, and flat-screen TVs come standard, while Business Rooms also
include an iPod docking station, Nespresso coffee maker, and a balcony. (One thing to note:
balconies overlook the hotel’s parking lot.) Bathrooms
are basic, with small sinks and showers, chrome accents, and bath products
delivered via mounted dispensers.
Features
Free daily breakfast and a 24/7 bar
While there’s no restaurant on-site, visitors can take
advantage of the free breakfast buffet with fresh juices, coffee, cereal, and fresh
breads served in the large dining room each morning. There’s also a small
marble bar off the lobby open 24/7, where visitors can pull up a stool for a
drink and make use of the guest computer located on one end.
