Hotels near Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competitiveness in Munich

Well, I didn't 'go' in October, but I tried to! I booked for one night through ***********, the hotel takes the money directly. The booking was confirmed by *********** having gone through the usual 2-factor Visa verification. The next day they emailed saying that the hotel had informed them my card was 'declined' and I needed to supply new card details. This worried me as I knew there the card was fine so I wasted an hour calling my bank - eventually I spoke to someone there who was able to tell me that the problem was that the hotel had tried to enter the details through a manual system, which does not meet the security requirements, and so the transaction could not be completed, my card was fine and had not been declined. I contacted the hotel by phone and told them this, they just said rudely that the problem was mine, and to change my card details at *********** or the booking would be cancelled. I did as asked, switching to Mastercard in the hope that the security issues would not be the same. All OK, till the following day when I was again informed that the card had been 'declined'. I contacted *********** as I was pretty cross by now, how can a hotel advertise on an on-line site if it can't process cards in the required way? The only suggestion was to try another card, but I don't have anything that's not MC or Visa, so I saw little point. The hotel then informed me my booking was cancelled. Now, I can't believe that this hotel is unable to process cards correctly, so what could the problem be? As I know my cards had ample credit, I'm left with 2 options, either they didn't like the implied ethnicity of my name, or they didn't like the price I got from *********** so didn't want to accept the booking. Either way, you can waste a great deal of time trying to book this hotel - and so I'd recommend against it. BTW, I travel frequently and have NEVER had a problem like this elsewhere.

Stayed here over a week and couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Staff - Probably the friendliest and most helpful hotel staff I've ever come across. The were always very accommodating whenever I asked for anything. Even the cleaning staff would greet me whenever I'd see them. Room - Modern, clean rooms. Bed was comfortable, pillows and linens fluffy. Desk space perfect for using your laptop. Radiator for heating. There is no air conditioning, but it wasn't hot when I was there, so that was never an issue. There was also a small refrigerator. Bathroom - Again, modern and clean. Only a shower, no bathtub. The only complaint I would have is the toilet paper felt a little like sandpaper, but not a major issue. Location - Very quiet, seemingly most residential neighbourhood, but still walkable to the main sights in Altstadt. Marienplatz was about a 15 minute walk, Karlzplatz another 15 on top of that. The Eisbach surfing and English Gardens were just a block or two away. Also very close to the Residenz. There is also a small grocery store nearby, as well as a few restaurants (including a good Vietnamese restaurant right next door). Other - The hotel does have an underground parking garage. It is very small and quite pricey, at 25 euros per day. There is also parking around the hotel for cheaper, but it can get busy too. There is an elevator, which was helpful for taking luggage to the upper floors. Bonus - If you don't require daily housekeeping, you get a free drink.

We are here now. Reserved 2 rooms to accommodate 4 people, one for 3 adults, the other for 1 adult. They brought us a roll away bed for the 3rd adult and when I asked the front desk, they said they had no rooms to accommodate 3 adults with 3 proper beds. (Then why offer it as an option?). We were offered to move to a larger room, for the larger price, but would still only get the roll away bed for the 3rd adult. Accommodations…..incredibly dissatisfied. Especially for a 5 star hotel. We were ignored, not exaggerating, when we pulled up with our vehicle. While trying to parallel park to unload, 2 employees stood joking around. A colleague stopped what he was doing, interrupted them, and all but got in their face to tell them to help us! At this point I was pissed! And mind you, i was outside of the car and they had no idea i was with the car……so i was witness to it all. They were kissing the feet of the others (who were not wearing sweat pants) and legitimately IGNORED us. I was PISSED. Not because I’m stuck on myself, but because it’s so true. If you don’t LOOK a certain way, especially at this 5 star hotel, YOU WILL BE IGNORED. Don’t hate on me for my honest review. Just know that if TRUE luxury is what you’re seeking, no matter what you look like or what you drive, you may have better luck down the road. It’s not here. Best of luck and let’s hope I’m one of the few who has had to experience this.

Wdrei Hotel is the great location. It’s walking distance to the famous Glockenspiel and Old Town. Lots of restaurants around the area as well. Service was fantastic. Would definitely stay here again if we return to Munich.

Schade, dass das Hotel derart schlecht beschildert ist. Als Ortsunkundiger muss man schon ganz konzentriert unterwegs sein, damit man den Hoteleingang findet, denn eigentlich sieht es immer noch wie die Bank aus, die das Hotel einmal war. Innen überzeugt eine luxuriöse Innenarchitektur, die seinesgleichen sucht; die Räumlichkeiten sind hochwertig und modern, ohne opulent oder kalt zu wirken. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, aber leider hatten wir wahrscheinlich das Wochenende der Negativauslese erwischt: In der Bar wird man gesetzt; das Personal merkt aber nicht, dass man die Leute etwas verteilen könnte, anstatt alle Tische nebeneinander zu besetzen. So kommt keine Privatsphäre zustande. Die Barspeisen sind sehr vielfältig und von höchster Güte; wer aber satt werden möchte, geht besser ins Restaurant; die Portionen sind mickrig. Der Frühstücksservice war zu Beginn sehr aufmerksam, das Konzept des Buffetts ist allerdings zu überdenken: entweder ist alles bedient und entsprechend der Service am Tisch, oder es hat eben ein Buffett, das in seiner ganzen Vielfalt zur Verfügung steht. Die Mischform, zu der man mangels Alternative greifen muss, macht es nicht einfach. Eine ganz tolle Brotauswahl wird durch das minimalistische Kaltspeisen Buffett zunichte gemacht: 3 Scheiben Kochs*****en und 6 daumengrosse Salametti resp einen Anschnitt Blauschimmelkäse, einen ebenso kleinen Weissschimmelkäse und eine völlig vertrocknete Scheibe Halbhartkäse war die komplette Auswahl. Daraufhin haben wir uns entschieden, das Käsesortiment à la carte zu bestellen. Auf diese Bestellung haben wir dann gut 20 Minuten gewartet. Das check-out war ebenfalls äusserst freundlich und zuvorkommend; auf unseren Wagen (”Ein Mitarbeiter ist bereits unterwegs, um Ihren Wagen zu holen”) haben wir dann allerdings auch warten müssen, so dass sich unsere Reise kumuliert um eine halbe Stunde verzögert hat. Schade, in so einem prunkvollen Haus hätten wir einfach mehr erwartet. Im Wissen, dass die Eröffnung erst Ende Oktober war, sind wir überzeugt, dass, wenn sich alle Prozesse eingeschliffen haben werden, 5* in der Bewertung locker erreicht werden können. PS: als Gast empfiehlt es sich, ein Zimmer nicht strassenseitig zu buchen; die Fenster sind miserabel schallisoliert.

Stayed here twice in August, the hotel is absolutely spotless, beautifully presented and the most comfortable hotel bed I have ever slept in. Every staff member I encountered was polite, friendly and super helpful. The location could not be better, central to everything, yet set back a little in quiet little area. We have just booked to stay again in December.

Manadarin Oriental is not the only house with (very) beautiful rooms, remarkable details, great culinary experiences and attractive service. The Mandarin Oriental in Munich makes it so extraordinary, the people who work there. This is already beginning with the reservation. The kindness, attention, handling and competence or professionalism in the respective task are remarkable . Perfect! The staff seems to feel very well at the workplace and with each other. This atmosphere also affects the guest. Personally we like the size of the house very much.

The hotel was very pleasant. The workers were hot bloody. The food was really nice. I understand that a separate concept is kitchen activity every day. Thanks for the helpfulness of the animator team and the smile face.

We were in Munich for 7 days and stayed at the Maximilian Apartments and Hotel. We had a two bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment in the center of the city. You can’t beat this location. The apartments are top quality and very tastefully decorated. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended and will book them again on our next trip to Munich. It’s a 5 minute walk to Marienplatz and great museums. Surrounded by restaurants and bars and awesome shopping options. Lots of public transport options within a 5 minute walk.
