We are looking for a place to stay in Fusson and Munich. We love the Rick Steves way of staying in locally owned BNB's
We visited Munich and Füssen in Sep this year. There are links to the places we stayed in our trip report (parts 7 and 8): https://community.ricksteves.com/travel-forum/trip-reports/trip-report-austria-bavaria-aug-sep-2025
We had a car when in the Füssen area, so stayed in a place in the country a few minutes outside the town. Owned by a young local family. We loved it.
In Munich we stayed near the main train station, and found the location to be convenient and safe.

I’ve stayed at the following hotels in Munich, all in the Altstadt, safe, convenient to transportation, sites, and shopping: Hotel am Markt (venerable, old, right by Alte Peter church, you’ll hear a lot of bells throughout the day and evening); Hotel am Viktualienmarkt (friendly staff, obviously convenient to the Viktualienmarkt, has a beer vending machine in the lobby); Mercure Hotel München Altstadt (like you, we prefer local and family run places. But this one really surprised me in a good way. I loved the location, the staff was great, it has air conditioning if that is important to you. I believe my other recommendations do not. And they have snacks, drinks, and coffee available for free throughout the day. I also think the minibar is restocked for free if I recall.). You cannot go wrong staying at any of these places.
Geoff and Dan,
Looks like we have found our places to stay! The place in Fusson and Mercure Hotel München Altstadt both look like the exact type of places we love. Thank you so much!
