Munich - Help me pick a hotel

Hi All,

I will be in Munich for 3 nights in December for the first time with my wife. I am considering between 3 hotels that are within my budget. I will be arriving from Venice, and departing to Salzburg from Munich.

From my brief research, I will definitely be visiting Dachau, and skipping Neuschwanstein Castle due to arriving late evening the first night, and only 3 nights in Munich. Christmas Markets is on our list to do as well.

  1. Hotel Unsold Factory: 500Euro for 3 nights. I have booked this one, but it seems to be a 15+min walk to Marienplatz.
  2. Mercure Altstadt: 736Euro for 3 nights. Only 5 min walk to Marienplatz, very central location
  3. Haus Im Tal Munich: 785Euro for 3 nights. Quite close to Marienplatz as well.

I am unsure if Unsold Factory is worth the savings given my short time and Munich and its decent walk to the city central. What do you think?

Thanks,

Hi, we will be going to Muc end of November. Family of 5 (3 adult kids). Which hotel did you ended up staying and was it good for you? Do you know if Airbnb is safe in Germany?
Thanks!

decent walk to the city central

Regarding Unsold Factory, yes, 15 minutes to Marienplatz. Only about 10 to the Residenz. And about 5 to the entrance to the English Garden. I have been pleased with the Mercure chain, have not stayed at the one in Munich. As you stated, much closer to Marienplatz. In an area with lots of shops nearby. Haus im Tal is also closer and near Victualienmarkt.

From a walking distance and convenience perspective, IMO any of the three is fine. You are close to transit access in any and are near four Christmas Markets and loads of restaurants.

Have a great trip!
