Oktoberfest 2009 hotel recommendations

I was there last year during Oktoberfest and stayed at the Englischer Garten hotel. It was about 3 subway stops from Marienplatz and then about a 4 block walk and obviously near the English Garten. It is in a neighborhood with the locals and lots of shops and places to eat. It was definately a way to immerse yourself in the neighborhood. The hotel was beautiful and you could fall out of bed and be in the park. We had a few wonderful, breakfast picnics in the park. Take a look at their website. http://www.hotelenglischergarten.de/

I hope this helps. Have fun!

My boyfriend and I went to Oktoberfest in 2003, the Jedermann hotel was fantastic! Jedermann means everyman.
It's a stone's throw from the event, which is a bonus.

We made reservations one year in advance without any problems. The hotel is very clean and comfortable, the staff incredibly helpful, and if it's your birthday you get a giant cookie! 'Happy Birthday _____!'
I can't recall the price, but it was worth it.

You may want to try the the Hotel Munchner Kindl. We stayed there last year for Oktoberfest, and will be staying there again this year for Oktoberfest. We booked our rooms about 6 months in advance for about $180.00 per night. It is located just a coulple of blocks off of the Marienplatz.

Thanks for the suggestions but those are both booked too! I was able to make a reservation at Kings Court for 211 Euro a night -- which is not ideal but at least I have somewhere.

I'm still searching for something cheaper though so additional ideas are definitely still wanted!
