Welcome
to
Perplexing
Hotel!
(especially
for
International
Guests).
Brutally
honest
opinion
ahead...
Before
arrival
I
noticed
a
distinct
polarization
of
ratings
with
this
hotel
with
persons
completely
satisfied
or
not
at
all
particularly
between
German
and
International
visitors
and
now
having
completed
my
stay
it
all
makes
much
more
sense.
I
am
a
solo
traveler
who
has
stayed
at
several
dozen
European
hotels
over
the
past
15
years
of
all
types
and
chains
and
will
be
writing
from
this
view.
The
short
version
-
They
say
no
way
too
much
for
a
business
in
Hospitality
Services
and
while
quite
friendly,
leaves
an
impression
colder
than
the
black
and
grey
minimalist
decor
and
youre
more
of
a
guest
occupying
their
property
than
a
paying
customer.
Longer
Version
LOCATION
It
is
in
a
local/residential
neighbourhood
of
Giesing
with
many
schools
and
offices/businesses.
The
S
and
U
bahn
station
(also
called
Giesing)
are
a
fairly
simple
and
unchallenging
10
minute
walk
from
the
hotel
and
had
no
problems
commuting
to
and
from
the
airport
(even
though
it
will
involve
at
least
1
connection).
The
Sbahn
lines
will
generally
go
to
Munich
East
Station
before
changing
direction
heading
into
the
centre
but
is
still
qquick
and
the
tourist
areas
are
accessed
within
4-8
stops.
Ubahn
also
a
few
stops
away
from
the
central
tourist
areas.
THE
STAY:
This
will
easily
put
a
bad
taste
in
many
travelers
mouths.
I
emailed
a
couple
months
in
advance
and
asked
about
early
check
in
and
identified
I
was
coming
from
a
great
distance.
A
couple
days
later
I
had
a
reply
from
the
hotel
stating
it
would
be
unlikely
to
provide
and
if
there
was
a
room
available
for
early
check
in
it
would
come
at
a
cost
of
10
euros
an
hour.
This
is
something
that
you
may
find
in
Las
Vegas
for
example
but
in
a
European
hotel,
absolutely
not!
So
before
arriving
it
already
puts
the
traveler
on
edge
not
knowing
if
they
made
a
good
decision
in
booking.
I
began
my
travels
early
in
the
morning
in
Europe
at
1am
Munich
Time
and
arrived
at
hotel
from
airport
at
11am
tired,
hoping
to
check
in.
A
very
friendly
staff
member
firmly
reminded
me
that
check
in
would
not
be
until
3pm
and
would
simply
not
be
possible.
It
was
easy
to
see
that
the
hotel
was
not
fully
occupied
and
is
of
a
somewhat
fair
size
(80-90
rooms?)
so
was
obvious
that
it
WAS
possible
but
they
have
this
policy
in
place
to
limit
the
amount
of
work
for
them.
Ouch.
So
the
hotel
fee
comes
without
staff
service?
So
I
took
my
weary
self
out
into
the
streets
of
Munich
for
several
hours
before
returning.
So
being
bothered
by
the
first
impression,
those
who
feel
so
will
easily
find
more
problems
and
issues
and
they
will
give
you
several
to
choose
from!
Squeaky
beds,
to
all
the
english
channels
on
tv
not
working,
to
90's
era
wifi
speed
(for
a
business/aparthotel?),
to
thin
walls
and
constant
white
noise
from
appliances
or
fans,
along
a
laughably
minimalist
chair
in
your
for
seating.
I
will
say
in
a
positive
manner,
the
room
was
very
spacious
and
clean,
bed
comfortable,
had
a
great
view
and
nice
hot
shower
(most
of
the
time)
and
housekeeping
was
excellent.
The
hotel
itself
would
not
be
suitable
for
families
and
more
for
solo
and
business
travelers
or
couples
Still
tired
from
the
commute,
I
decided
to
try
the
breakfast
at
the
very
end
of
one
of
the
services.
It
did
have
quite
a
range
but
somehow
was
not
upto
par
compared
to
other
places.
Perhaps
i
was
bothered
that
the
scrambled
eggs
were
being
served
ice
cold.
I
then
asked
to
purchase
an
Americano
coffee
from
the
bar
area
for
takeaway
and
was
told
"this
simply
isn't
possible".
Other
hotels
use
paper
cups
for
this,
so
not
sure
how
this
skips
over
Bold.
I
then
went
to
the
nearby
NETTO
for
groceries
for
my
kitchenette
and
not
charged
for
the
breakfast
as
i
think
the
manager
saw
my
displeasure.
FINAL
THOUGHTS
I
still
would
be
quite
open
to
staying
here
again.
The
things
that
missed
the
mark
can
be
fixed
if
desired
by
hotel.
