Munich Accomadation

Hotel Atlanta is about 5 minutes walk from Marienplatz and in August of 2008, room for two was below $80. I am going to Munich this June, but unfortunately, no rooms available at Atlanta on my dates of stay. :(

I've stayed at Hotel Uhland several times. It is very nice and they serve a great breakfast. I give it 5 stars. The one downside is that it is a 5-10 minute walk from the train station and the beginning of the pedestrian zone where many attractions are. That wasn't a problem for us, and I would stay there again for sure.

If a hostel is what you're interested in, I would suggest Wombat's, only a couple of blocks from the train station...stayed there 2 nights in June 2009.
Cleanliness and security were great, except that buffet breakfast was extra. And, the facilities are in your room too. Because of its closeness to the station, the cleanliness and security factors, I would stay there again.

Another vote for Hotel Atlanta. Location is excellent for u-bahn access at Sendlinger Tor. Easy walk through the old center to MarienPlatz. Street noise was the only downside, might ask for a room in the back.

Second the recommendation for Pension Siebel. Luxurious it is not, but I don't think you could anything less in such a good location.

Hotel Uhland is very nice and reasonably priced. I know that they get raves for their breakfast. However, beware, if you idea of fruit is fresh, get there early. They do a very poor job of restocking breakfast items as they run out and for the most part, fruit means canned fruit cocktail.

I’ve stayed at Hotel Uhland and will also throw another vote their way…highly recommended.

David brings up an interesting thought. I will qualify my "excellent breakfast" be adding "compared to other places we stayed". Don't go expecting bacon and eggs..lol. What we liked about Hotel Uhland was that they had hard boiled eggs, several breads, several pastries, hot cereal, cold cereals, yogurt, fruit cocktail, etc. Quite a variety for a continental breakfast in Germany. Most places are more limited in their selections, and in a Family B&B, you take what is offered with gratitude.

Connie, that "excellent breakfast" sounds pretty typical for most places I've stayed at in Germany, and I stay in mostly Privatzimmer (I guess what you would call a "family B&B"). Maybe places with only a few rooms have a little fewer perishable items. I can remember only once, in Hall, Austria, "taking what was offered", but then I only paid €20/nt.

If the eggs were hard boiled someone over-cooked them, or maybe they sat too long and set up. They're supposed to be soft boiled (I believe they call it wachsweichgekocht).

What I love most about any German breakfast is their Kaiser (any variety, actually) rolls, with a nice, crisp crust.

From Uhland, you don't have to walk all the way the the Hauptbahnhof. There is a U-Bahn station (U4/5, Theresienwiese Hst) nearby plus a bus stop (#58) at the corner.

Lee makes a good point. While decent, I really didn’t think there was anything especially noteworthy about breakfast at Uhland. It was good to be sure but no different really from any I’ve had anywhere else in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland. There are lots of reasons to stay there, but I’m not sure I would pick Uhland just for a standout breakfast.

Pension Seibel is my favorite. Below 100 Euros most days (some holidays, conventions, they go up). 200 feet from the Viktualienmarkt (10 minutes by public transport from the train station). Breakfast is pretty decent, but nothing spectacular. I find the staff very helpful.
