We have slept really well as the room stays dark and quiet from traffic noise (stayed on 4th floor). The staff has been impeccable. Reception area has a cafe/bar area where we stopped in for a beer at the end of our evenings in Munich. Would totally give a 5 star on this if the location was a little better. It's in more of an office complex area, so not much interesting close to the hotel. But it's a really easy walk to the trams or trains, so I would not discourage you from staying here at all. It's been a really nice experience.

The room was very nice and so was the bathroom. It was nice and warm over in the room and bathroom. Also there was a grocery store across the street and it was the best grocery store I have ever been too. The location is pretty good but not super close to main part of Munich. We walked to Marienplatz in like 20 minutes. The breakfast looked amazing but it was expensive. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

It's a small hotel, but has great attention to detail. First, the design was warm, calming, and overall comfortable. I also liked the aesthetic, which felt a little Parisian (?). It was somewhere between modern and traditional (if that's possible), but most of all was cohesive. Everything just belonged together. The small garden was beautiful and peaceful and well-kept. The premise and staff exuded a pride of ownership and service, which I always appreciate. While the breakfast may not have been as elaborate as some larger hotels, it was fantastic. As an aside, it's nice to have everything included (the mini bar, breakfast, etc.). Even the sauna and steam room were a nice amenity. Other examples of attention to detail... the electrical outlets included adapter for different plugs including USB-C. The bathroom included a table for additional counter space. The front desk included frog gummies (frog was their theme). Who thinks of all this? All these little thoughtful details really demonstrate care. If I had to critique, I would suggest a few more equipment for the gym; it was a little lacking. Overall, great place.

The next day, the system automatically checked me out so I had to re-check in at the front desk. There was a convention in town so the line was long both times. I tried to check out early to go to a different hotel and was told I couldn't because it was an "event weekend." It seems they were under-staffed. Overall, the rooms are small and the amenities are sparse. They do have a good breakfast with lots of food options and a nice bar downstairs. But I wouldn't stay here again.

The front desk was always super helpful with everything we needed (iron, holding luggage, early check in) The rooms were bare minimum, but do you really need more when going to explore a new city?! We also loved that the shower didn't suck. Our view was of a clock tower and it was beautiful in the morning. It was also a very quite location at night which was nice because after a day of exploring you want to sleep well. We did not do the breakfast because for 7 Euro a person you can do better, but it seemed very popular. (We ate at Ida's across the street, do this.) The location is also ideal. Just hop off at Sendlingtor stop and walk about 100ft. Its a 10 minute walk to Marienplatz, where the Christmas Market is held in Nov/Dec. And you can walk everywhere easily! Yes, you can pay $60 USD and stay in a disjointed hotel somewhere near the Hauptbahnhof but it won't be as wonderful as this place. I would 100% stay here again.

The room was one of the smallest we had on our 9-day rail tour. The room was pretty similar in size to the cabin you might have on a cruise ship, including the type of door they have to the bathroom (which definitely is the size of a cruise ship bathroom). The bathroom lacked the towel warmers other hotels had and also lacked much space to hang self-laundered items to dry. I found the bed too firm, so did not have my best sleep. However the friend traveling with me found the bed fine and slept well. We never quite figured out the thermostat, to reduce the temp in our 'too warm' room, so ended up having to crack a window to cool down our space for sleep. The distance we had to walk to the Christmas markets was a bit longer than my preference, but proximity to the train station was only a 5 minute walk. The neighborhood location of the hotel seemed a little sketchy to me, but we (as two lady travelers) felt quite safe inside the hotel itself.

The location is extremely close, less than 5 minutes walking to Munich Central Train Station. About a 20 minute walk to Marienplatz. Room: We showed up a little early but got lucky with an early check-in since they finished cleaning our room early. It was really clean! Not a single suspect hair leftover that I could see. Everything in the mini-fridge is complimentary. There was still and sparking water, beer, cola, and either apple or orange juice. The room was also stocked with Ronnefeldt brand tea (German made and the same they have at breakfast) and coffee. There were also gummies left on the pillow. We had two twin beds and our room was configured so these were tucked back into an alcove which was nice and snug. The mattresses and duvets were pretty amazing. Insanely comfortable. The duvet was incredibly warming, so much so that we were able to leave the window open a smidge in the winter. All of the lights in the room can be controlled by the bed. The bathroom toiletries were mostly of the Rituals brand which smelled great. A rainfall showerhead and handheld shower were available. There was even a heated towel rack! The room was big enough for us to have both our suitcases open and still walk around comfortably. Front-Desk: The front-desk staff were all very helpful. They helped us map out routes to points of interest, deciphering our tickets and coordinating with our tour groups, and helped us with getting supplies when we ran out (tissue and water when it wasn't restocked). There was usually fruit (either apples or oranges) available at the front-desk. Sometimes there were chocolates. Breakfast: The breakfast staff were realllly amazing. A special shoutout to Merita (I hope the spelling is correct)! I think she managed the breakfast service. She was so friendly and after a few days remembered my coffee order! She always made my latte with a chocolate stencil which made it extra special. It was really chaotic in the mornings with everyone coming and going, but she managed to keep the buffet stocked and spotless. The actual breakfast itself was actually very good for a free breakfast. The menu changes a tiny bit each day but you'll find a hot food section with eggs and protein, granola and yogurt bar area, charcuterie area, and pastry area. The croissants were amazing! Honestly better than any I've had in Canada. The pretzels they had were also a sleeper pick. They managed to be soft even though they kinda just hung out there. I'd 100% recommend this hotel and definitely stay here again for my next trip!

After one cancelled flight out of London City, and then another one delayed departing Heathrow,…read moreplus time spent in the plane on the ground in Munich waiting for the snow plow, I was pretty beat when I arrived at the Schiller 5. A single staff member manned the desk when I walked in and he continued talking on the telephone for many minutes before finally hanging up to check me in. This annoyance was my first impression of the hotel but thankfully things mostly got better from that point. My room on the sixth floor was spacious and included a kitchenette. The mini fridge contained still and sparkling water, orange juice, Coca Cola and a beer, all gratis. The room was plenty warm and the window opened completely such that I was able to climb out and see the city's snow-covered roof tops. That was probably my favourite bit about my stay at the Schiller 5. The wifi, while free, was not intuitive to connect to and fairly slow. The neighbourhood is a touch seedy (strip clubs, sex shops and the like line the street) but it is very central and if you arrive late in the evening there are still plenty of quick options for food. All told, Schiller 5 was solid enough for me to consider returning. And if you can get it for under €100/night, it's good value too.

You are smack in the middle of everything. But it does feel like a college dorm room. No A/C and lots of loud noises throughout the day and night. The biggest complaint I have is the coffee situation. I've stayed all over Europe and this place doesn't have any coffee machine/bags/cups or anything for a morning cup in the room. If you pay 14€ for breakfast at the downstairs restaurant, you can have unlimited cups out of the Laurin restaurant machine. But I can't believe they don't offer that machine to hotel guests from 8am-10am. Give me a token or something. It's 2024. I don't know of any decent hotels that don't offer coffee in room for their guests. Additionally the front desk staff could barely speak English (which is fine - I understand it's not America)....but I got better service and English from the alley baristas down the road. They aren't hugely accommodating, helpful, or gracious. It's a basic room in a great area. Go to Sweet Spot Kaffee a few yards down the alley to the left for unbelievable coffee. Flat whites for the win!

It still feels safe but I would suggest that single women or families not stay in this area unless you do not mind casinos, strip clubs and drunks. Overall, this was a nice hotel for the price and the location. I would stay here again. Do not expect this to be a 3-4 star hotel as you would see in the US. I think this would be more of a 2-3 star US hotel.
