Okay, let's start with the positives. The location is really good. The Viktualienmarkt is practically around the corner, and the city center, English Garden, Eisbach – everything is within walking distance. The breakfast is good and can easily compete with larger hotels.
Unfortunately, the coffee machine broke down on the first morning, so there was no coffee during my stay. The hotel has no elevator, not even for luggage. I wasn't aware of that. The staircase looked rundown.
The room was clean, except for a dusty shelf in the closet, but it immediately made a bad impression because the curtain was half torn off. I found a blackout curtain in the closet. I then had to climb onto a chair to hang it up. I also fixed the other curtain right away. A blackout curtain was necessary as my room faced Reichenbachplatz.
I also found a bedside lamp in the closet, but it was useless because there was no bulb. A shame, it would have been helpful since there was no light switch by the bed. The TV also didn't show a picture at first. Multiple channel scans with different configurations were needed.
The walls are so thin that I got a fright on the first night, thinking someone was in my room talking. Someone also vomited, but that was two rooms down. The room next door was a kitchen or storage room.
The bathroom was newly tiled. However, the drainpipes were just flexible hoses that weren't nicely connected. The towel racks probably dated back to the 60s. The sink wasn't straight on the wall, and the shower curtain was held up by a wire, a screw, and tape.
