La propriété — Biederstein
The Biederstein is a solid 3-star hotel in Schwabing, Munich’s leafy university quarter. It’s unpretentious: wood-panelled breakfast room, tidy beige bedrooms, and a small bar that feels like a local’s living room. The USP is a quiet garden terrace and free on-street parking in a normally tight zone. Best for solo travellers or couples who want reliable comfort near English Garden without the tourist markup of Altstadt hotels.
Chroniques de München
Munich was founded in 1158 by Henry the Lion after he destroyed a bridge on the Isar to control the salt trade. The Wittelsbach dynasty ruled for over 700 years, leaving a Gothic/Renaissance core and the 19th-century neoclassical boulevard of Ludwigstrasse. Much of the old city was rebuilt pragmatically post-1945, but the Frauenkirche’s twin domes remain the skyline anchor. Today, it’s a wealth-driven tech and finance hub that still parades its beer halls and Baroque churches with crisp efficiency.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de München →Meilleurs mois
May and September: warm (18-22°C), long daylight, fewer crowds than July-August, and the beer gardens are in full swing. June also works but can have sudden thunderstorms.
Peak / Festival surge
August (especially the first two weeks) during the Tollwood Summer Festival and European school holidays. Hotel prices spike 30-40%. July is also busy but peak is August’s heatwave + festival crush.
La saison des épaules
Late September (post-Oktoberfest madness) and May: rates drop 15-20%, no queues at Nymphenburg, and the English Garden empties. Ideal for budget-conscious travellers who want mild weather without the masses.
Météo & Emballage
Munich’s climate is continental: hot summer days often end with sudden, heavy downpours. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket and shoes that can handle wet pavement; you’ll use both in the same afternoon.
Briefing de la ville — München
- Munich’s U-Bahn lines U3 and U6 are undergoing weekend closures on the Schwabing section until late July 2026; check MVG alerts for bus replacements to Münchner Freiheit station.
- The English Garden’s southern section (by the Chinese Tower) has temporary fencing for tree safety work until September 2026; bathers at the Eisbach wave are unaffected.
- The new ‘Radlhauptstadt’ bike lane expansion on Leopoldstrasse is now complete, making cycling from the Biederstein to Altstadt safer and faster than driving.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Biederstein, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the upper floors (3rd or 4th) facing the interior courtyard or the quieter side street. The address at 18 Keferstraße puts you on a residential street in Schwabing, so standard rooms on the rear side minimise any street noise from local traffic.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor or first floor near the entrance or lift lobby. Lower floors can pick up foot traffic and street-level sounds from Keferstraße, especially during morning delivery or bin collection. Rooms directly above the small front garden may also get noise from guests sitting outside.
Best views
A front-facing room on an upper floor (3rd or 4th) looks over Keferstraße’s leafy residential street with low-rise buildings and gardens – pleasant but not spectacular. Rear rooms face the quiet inner courtyard or neighbouring rooftops, which is fine for light but offers no real view.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are quietest, as they're above street-level bustle and the lift noise is less frequent at these levels. The hotel is a typical 4-storey Stadthaus, so top floors benefit from reduced ambient sound.
🔊 Noise notes
Keferstraße is a quiet residential street in Schwabing, but expect some local car traffic and occasional delivery vans. The nearby U-Bahn (Münchner Freiheit) may cause a low rumble on upper floors facing north-east. The hotel has no nightlife on-site, but guest chatter from the small breakfast room can travel in the morning.
Insider tips
1. For a quieter stay, ask for a room ending in a rear-facing number – these back onto the courtyard and avoid the tram-line rumble that sometimes carries from Hohenzollernstraße. 2. Parking is limited on the street; book a spot in advance if you’re driving, or use the public garage at Münchner Freiheit (5 mins walk). Check-in is straightforward but the lift is tiny – pack light if you're on the 4th floor.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →S’entourer
Find train tickets →Munich Airport (Central Area) → Hauptbahnhof (Arnulfstraße stop)
💡 Luggage space is generous, and it's cheaper than the S-Bahn but slower due to traffic. From the drop-off, walk 5 mins south to Goetheplatz – no tube needed.
Munich Airport (MUC) → Munich Central Station (Nord)
💡 Drop-off is at the north side of the Hauptbahnhof, a 7-minute walk to the hotel. Cash only on board, but contactless works if you buy online in advance.
Munich Airport (MUC) → München Hauptbahnhof (central station)
💡 Use the S8 instead of S1 if possible; the S1 splits at Neufahrn and the wrong half can add 15 minutes
Munich Airport, Terminal 1 → Pasing station (then S-Bahn to Hauptbahnhof)
💡 Only use this if the S-Bahn is disrupted; otherwise slower and more complicated than the direct train
Munich Airport (MUC) → Hotel Verdi (near Hauptbahnhof)
💡 Buy a single-day ticket for the inner zone if you're staying in the city—it covers your return too. The S1 splits at Neufahrn; make sure you get on the branch going through the main station, not the one via the east.
Munich Airport (MUC) → Pension Haus Wendelstein (U-Bahn Münchner Freiheit)
💡 Buy a single-ticket for the airport (Kurzstrecke won't work). The S1 splits at Neufahrn, so ensure you're on the right branch for city centre—S8 is more straightforward.
Munich Airport (MUC) → Hauptbahnhof (Central Station)
💡 Bypass ticket machine queues by buying via MVG app or DB Navigator. Validate ticket at platform stampers before boarding.
Munich Airport (MUC) → Hauptbahnhof (main train station)
💡 From Hauptbahnhof, take the U-Bahn U2 (direction Messestadt Ost) one stop to Goetheplatz, then walk 3 mins to Hotel Goethe. Buy a day ticket for €15.50 if you plan more trips.
Münchner Freiheit → Pension Haus Wendelstein
💡 Honestly, skip the bus—it's a 5-min walk. If you're arriving with heavy luggage, the walk is flat and pavement is good. Bus 142 runs in a loop from the station stop to Dietlindenstraße, one street over.
Hauptbahnhof → Goetheplatz station
💡 This is the quickest hop from the main station to the hotel. Use the exit 'Goethestraße West' – it's a 2-minute walk to the hotel entrance.
Hauptbahnhof → Pension Mayr (stop: Schwanthalerhöhe)
💡 Scenic route if you're not in a rush. Get a day ticket (€8.80) if doing multiple trips — good value. Tram stops are less crowded than U-Bahn.
Hauptbahnhof (Central Station) → Theresienwiese station (5-min walk to Pension Mayr)
💡 From Hauptbahnhof, take U5 direction Neuperlach Süd; avoid U4 during Oktoberfest as it's packed. Exit at Theresienwiese not Hackerbrücke.

Principales attractions à München
💡 Walk through the Hofgarten behind it for a quiet spot. The main entrance is free but the treasury costs. Stick to the courtyards.
💡 Don't pay for the tower climb—the free view from the nearby Petersplatz steps gives a nearly equivalent panorama. The crypt is often empty and serene.
💡 Grab a cheese or sausage snack at one of the standing tables – no cover charge. The beer stand near the maypole is run by local breweries and pours cheaper than tourist spots.
💡 Go early on a weekday for fewer crowds. Don't buy bottled water here—it's cheaper at any supermarket nearby. Try the Obatzda cheese spread.
💡 Thursday evening after 5pm often has free entry to the main collection. The film museum downstairs is separate and cheap, not free.
💡 Enter from Odeonsplatz. Bring a picnic and sit by the central fountain — free and rarely crowded.
💡 The free museum shows a 10-minute film about Munich's history in a restored vault. Best part: the courtyard has a free public toilet and a nearby bakery for cheap pastries.
💡 Avoid the upstairs restaurant. Head to the main hall downstairs – it's rowdy, authentic, and you'll share a table with strangers.
