We stayed at Marias Platzl during a warm spell in Munich; the hotel is on a busy street, and for our first night we were given a room on the second floor with windows opening onto the street. When the windows were open, the noise prohibited sleep, and even closed, quite a bit of noise got through. And when the windows were closed, it was too stuffy to sleep. There was a fan, but it was not a ceiling fan and was not that effective. The front desk is closed after 8pm (which as a general rule is not good), so we had no opportunity to do anything about the situation that evening. The following day I asked to move, and the staff was very accommodating and apologetic, giving us a different room on the second floor looking out onto the Biergarten. There was some noise from the folks in the Biergarten, but that died down by 11. The breakfast was excellent when compared with what one usually gets at an American hotel, but not that great when compared to other German hotels (we had stayed in a hotel in Regensburg before arriving in Munich and had a much better breakfast there). On the up side, the neighborhood is nice, with the beautiful river very close by, and it's a short walk to the Altstadt and sights there. It was a clean hotel, and everything functioned well. But I would not stay there in the summer. read more
