La propriété — Hotel du train
The Hotel du train sits in a quiet street off the main drag in Munich’s Lehel district, a three-star that trades polish for personality. Its lobby feels like a railway waiting room that’s been dusted off and painted in blues and greys, with vintage train posters on the walls and a rack of free city maps. The small rooms are functional — firm beds, clean bathrooms — but the real USP is the location: ten minutes’ walk to the Residenz and the Hofbräuhaus, and opposite a U-Bahn stop. It suits budget-conscious travellers who spend their days out and just want a solid, quiet base with transport links.
Chroniques de München
Munich was founded in 1158 by Henry the Lion on the banks of the Isar, a fortified market town that grew fat on the salt trade. Its architectural evolution runs from Romanesque foundations through the Baroque excess of the Theatinerkirche to the neoclassical sweep of the Königsplatz. After the near-total destruction of World War II, the city rebuilt with a mix of faithful replicas and sober post-war blocks, so you get the illusion of a medieval core wrapped in mid-century straight lines. Today Munich is Bavaria’s cultural and economic powerhouse, a city that cherishes its beer gardens and art museums as much as its engineering firms and tech startups. Its identity is a careful balance of tradional Gemütlichkeit and modern, cosmopolitan ambition.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de München →Meilleurs mois
May and September: warm days (18–22°C), long evenings in beer gardens, and far fewer crowds than the peak summer months. June also works well, though it can get busy with European tourists.
Peak / Festival surge
Late September to early October (Oktoberfest). The city heaves with festival-goers; hotel prices triple and rooms sell out a year ahead. Christmas markets in December also spike demand, though prices rise less dramatically.
La saison des épaules
April and October are the sweet spots. April is still cool but the city is quiet and accommodation rates drop 30–40% from peak. October after Oktoberfest is mild and calm, with bargain rates before the festive season starts.
Météo & Emballage
Munich’s climate is continental with a rainy side — July averages 12–14 rainy days, so a sudden downpour is part of the deal. Pack a light rain jacket that doubles as an evening layer, plus comfortable waterproof shoes for exploring wet cobbles.
Briefing de la ville — München
- The U-Bahn line U4/U5 station Lehel (just outside the hotel) was closed for major track replacement work from spring 2025 until late summer 2026; check if it has reopened or if you need to use the adjacent tram lines 16 and 27.
- Munich's urban toll for low-emission cars (Umweltzone) remains in force; if arriving by car, your vehicle needs a green sticker, otherwise expect a €100 fine. The hotel doesn’t have its own parking.
- The Pinakothek der Moderne has a new temporary exhibition on Bauhaus interiors running through October 2026 — worth a half-day detour if you’re into design.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel du train, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on floors 3 or 4 facing the courtyard (rear of building). These are high enough to avoid street-level noise but still within the lift’s reach, and the courtyard side buffers traffic from Herzog-Wilhelm-Straße.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floor 1 or 2 facing the street. Herzog-Wilhelm-Straße is a busy central Munich thoroughfare with trams and pedestrian traffic, and low floors get the worst of it. Also avoid rooms directly next to the lift shaft on any floor—audible clatter from the older 3-star lift mechanism.
Best views
Front-facing rooms on floors 4 or 5 have a narrow view down Herzog-Wilhelm-Straße towards the pedestrian zone, with rooftops and a slice of the Frauenkirche tower if you’re lucky. Rear courtyard views are green and quiet but less iconic.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 through 5. The building likely has 5–6 floors (common for Altstadt area). Floor 5 is quietest, but if the lift doesn’t go to 5 (only to 4), you’ll take stairs—worth it for peace.
🔊 Noise notes
Herzog-Wilhelm-Straße carries tram line 19 and heavy foot traffic to the Marienplatz area. The bar/restaurant on the ground floor (common for this hotel type) may have live music or chatter until 22:00. Service entrance at the back can have early-morning delivery noise (06:00–07:00).
Insider tips
1) The hotel has no on-site parking; use the public garage at Bahnhofplatz (€25/night) or the cheaper Parkhaus am Sendlinger Tor (€18/night, 5-min walk). 2) Check in early (after 14:00) to grab a courtyard room before they’re taken—front desk can assign specific room numbers on request.
- 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

Monnaie & Monnaie
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use bank ATMs (Sparkasse, Deutsche Bank) for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at Hauptbahnhof and airport due to poor rates and high fees.
Visa and Mastercard widely accepted; contactless and Apple Pay/Google Pay common in supermarkets, restaurants, and transport. Some small shops and cafes may still prefer cash (especially €5–10 purchases).
Round up to the nearest euro in cafes/bars, leave 5–10% in restaurants unless service charge is included, tip taxi drivers 5–10%, and give hotel staff €1–2 per bag or per night for housekeeping.
Manger, faire du shopping et voyager sur un budget
Cheap car hire →A filter coffee or espresso at a bakery or kiosk for around €2.50–3.00; standing at the counter is cheaper than sitting.
A lunch special (e.g. a slice of pizza, currywurst with fries, or a baker's sandwich) at a bakery or Imbiss for €5–8.
A main course at a standard restaurant (e.g. schnitzel, sausage plate, pasta) for €12–16.
The Viktualienmarkt market stalls and surrounding streets (like around Marienplatz) offer affordable sausages, pretzels, and döner kebabs; the area around Hauptbahnhof has many cheap döner/kebab shops.
Aldi, Lidl, Penny, and Netto are common budget supermarkets; Rewe and Edeka are slightly pricier but convenient in central locations.
C&A and H&M on Kaufingerstrasse and Neuhauser Strasse for budget basics; occasional cheap finds at flea markets or second-hand shops in the area.
A single short-trip ticket (Kurzstrecke) for €2.10 or a day pass (Tageskarte) for the city centre zone (€7.80) from a MVG ticket machine; the cheapest airport transfer is the S-Bahn (S1 or S8) for €13.60 one-way.
1) Buy a Bayern-Ticket (€27 for one person, covers regional trains and all local transport in Bavaria all day) if you're exploring outside Munich. 2) Stick to supermarkets and bakeries for water and snacks—tourist shops are expensive. 3) Many museums have free or reduced entry on Sundays (e.g., Pinakotheken €1 on Sunday).

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.
