La propriété — BOB W.
BOB W. in Munich is a clean, efficient three-star that feels more like a well-run aparthotel than a traditional hotel. The lobby is minimal and bright, with a check-in kiosk, a small lounge area, and the smell of fresh coffee — you know you're in a place designed for short stays and self-service. It suits travellers who want a reliable base near the Hauptbahnhof without paying for frills they won't use, especially solo or business visitors who value speed and cleanliness over character.
Chroniques de München
Munich began in 1158 when Henry the Lion established a market on the banks of the Isar, and it later became the heart of the Wittelsbach duchy. Baroque and Rococo churches like the Theatinerkirche reflect 17th-century Catholic ambition, while the 19th-century Maximilianstrasse and the neo-Gothic Neues Rathaus show the city's 19th-century expansion. Rebuilt after heavy World War II bombing, Munich embraced modernist architecture in areas like the Olympic Park. Today it's a prosperous, expensive city that balances high-tech industry with a deep attachment to its Bavarian traditions, lederhosen included.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de München →Meilleurs mois
May and June for warm, sunny days (20–25°C) and full beer garden season without the Oktoberfest crowds. September also works well — still pleasant, with a slight pre-festival buzz but manageable visitor numbers.
Peak / Festival surge
September–October for Oktoberfest (late Sept to first weekend Oct). The city swells with 6 million visitors, hotel prices in the city centre more than double, and even three-star properties like BOB W. can charge £200+ a night. The festival is the main driver, plus the concurrent Auer Dult fair.
La saison des épaules
March–April and November give you quieter streets and lower rates. March can still be cold (5–10°C) but April sees the first outside beer garden afternoons. November is drizzly and grey, but you'll find hotel bargains and uncrowded museums.
Météo & Emballage
Munich has a continental climate that can swing from a warm 30°C to a cool 12°C with rain in the same summer day. Pack a light waterproof jacket and layers — a T-shirt plus a thin jumper or long-sleeve shirt means you'll adapt as the sky changes.
Briefing de la ville — München
- The U-Bahn line U2 is partially closed between Hauptbahnhof and Messestadt Ost for track upgrades until mid-July 2026, so check alternative routes via S-Bahn if you're heading to the east side.
- The new Kunsthalle München exhibition 'Bavaria in Colour' opens in June 2026 at the Lenbachhaus, showcasing 18th-century frescoes and folk art — worth a visit for an hour, just off the U2 tram stop.
- July 2026 is the start of the Tollwood Summer Festival (late June–mid July) on the Theresienwiese, with live music, world food and a small fair — expect extra foot traffic around the area but a lively atmosphere.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to BOB W., here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on the 3rd or 4th floor at the back of the building (courtyard side). They sit above street-level bustle but low enough for stable water pressure and easy stair access if lifts are busy.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors facing Schwanthalerstraße — direct street noise from trams, delivery vans, and late-night foot traffic in the Theresienwiese zone. Also skip any room directly beside the lift shaft (audible dings and motor hum).
Best views
Highest floors (5–6) facing Schwanthalerstraße give a glimpse of the Theresienwiese fairground and the Bavaria statue, especially during Oktoberfest. Otherwise, courtyard views are calmer but look onto neighbouring apartment blocks.
Quietest floors
Floors 3–5 tend to be quietest; upper floors (6+) may pick up roof-level plant hum but are still acceptable.
🔊 Noise notes
Schwanthalerstraße carries tram lines 18 and 19 (first and last trams ~05:00–01:00). Delivery trucks restock hotel and bars from 06:00–08:00. The hotel's own bar/lounge on the ground floor generates chatter until 23:00, audible in front-facing rooms up to floor 2.
Insider tips
1. If arriving by car, pre-book the hotel's underground garage (tight spaces; small cars best) or use the public garage at Theresienwiese, a 2-minute walk. 2. Ask at check-in for an upper-floor room at the back; they often hold these for late requests. 3. The breakfast buffet includes a made-to-order egg station — worth waking for.
- 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.
