I stayed at Novotel Munich Airport for one night because I had an early flight the following morning, and it turned out to be a really smart and comfortable choice. I arrived just after midnight, so having an easy, no-stress hotel close to the airport was exactly what I needed.
By the time I arrived, the restaurant had stopped serving food, but the hotel still had a small shop open where you could buy snacks and drinks. What really impressed me was that they even had frozen pizzas available, which you could cook yourself using one of the small ovens in the hotel. It’s a thoughtful touch for late-night arrivals who might not have eaten yet. The man behind the reception desk was extremely friendly and welcoming, and he even gave me a couple of apples to take up to my room as a snack—small gesture, but one that really stood out after a long day of travel.
The room itself was clean, modern, and spacious, with plenty of room to open luggage and relax. Everything felt well maintained and quiet, which is important when you’re checking in late and need a good night’s sleep before an early departure.
Getting to Munich Airport the next morning was incredibly easy. The bus stop is right outside the main entrance of the hotel. I took bus number 635, and the airport was just the second stop. The journey took less than five minutes and cost only €2.10, making it a far cheaper and simpler option than a taxi.
I would definitely recommend the Novotel Munich Airport to anyone with an early flight or late arrival. The combination of friendly service, practical late-night food options, comfortable rooms, and fast, low-cost transport to the airport makes it a reliable and stress-free choice.
