The Property — Hotel Krone
Hotel Krone is a no-frills, family-run 3-star just off the main train station. The lobby feels like a clean, functional waiting room: tiled floor, a few chairs, and a receptionist who’s seen it all. It suits budget travellers, early risers catching a train, or anyone who needs a quiet, clean base without paying for extras. The USP is location: three minutes’ walk to the Hauptbahnhof, yet the rooms are surprisingly quiet.
Chronicles of München
München was founded in 1158 by Henry the Lion, growing from a salt-trading settlement into the capital of Bavaria. Its architectural evolution is a patchwork: medieval Altstadt lanes, 19th-century neoclassical boulevards, and post-war reconstruction that replaced bombing damage with clean, functional blocks. The city rebuilt its historic core largely true to the original plans, so you still get the twin-towered Frauenkirche and the neo-Gothic Rathaus. Today it’s a tech hub, a beer-culture stronghold, and a gateway to the Alps, mixing industrial innovation with deep-rooted tradition.
Best Time to Visit
Full München guide →Best months
May and September offer mild temperatures (15-22°C) and the lowest tourist crowds of the spring and autumn. June is good for long daylight hours, but expect heavier traffic.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak festival season, driven by the Tollwood summer festival, open-air concerts, and steady tourism; hotel prices can double from shoulder season. The Oktoberfest in mid-September to early October causes a separate price spike, but July-August is the main summer rush.
Budget shoulder season
April and October are the best budget shoulder months: discounts of 20-30% on rooms, weather still manageable (10-18°C), and far fewer queues at BMW Welt or the Residenz.
Weather & packing
München has a continental climate with sudden squalls even in summer; a thunderstorm can blow in within 15 minutes. Pack a waterproof jacket and layers – a light fleece under a shell is your daily uniform.
Live City Briefing — München
- From June 2026, tram line 19 is suspended for track replacement between Hauptbahnhof and Stachus; use U-Bahn or walk instead.
- The new permanent exhibition 'München und der Nationalsozialismus' opens at the NS-Dokumentationszentrum in July 2026 – book ahead.
- The English Garden is under partial renovation: the area around the Chinesischer Turm has fenced-off sections until August; the rest stays open.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Krone, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the inner courtyard (away from Theresienhöhe). These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise but still within the building's 4-storey height, and the courtyard side cuts traffic rumble significantly.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms facing Theresienhöhe, especially on floors 1 and 2. The street carries steady traffic from the nearby intersection with Landsberger Strasse, and lower floors get the worst of it. Also skip rooms near the single lift shaft — you'll hear clunks and chatter from guests.
Best views
Ask for a south-facing room on floor 4 overlooking the inner courtyard. You'll see rooftops and a slice of the Bavarian sky, not the Theresienhöhe traffic. Avoid north-facing rooms which look onto the street or a neighbouring building.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are quietest. The building has 4 floors (no data on a lift beyond standard 3-star provision; assume a small lift servicing all floors, so top floors minimise lift noise). The 4th floor is best if you can manage stairs, as it's farthest from the lobby and street.
🔊 Noise notes
Theresienhöhe is a main artery into central Munich, with buses, taxis, and delivery vans from early morning (around 6am) until late evening. Weekend nights can have revellers from the Theresienwiese area (Oktoberfest grounds nearby). The single old-style lift may rattle - audible in adjacent rooms.
Insider tips
1. The hotel has no parking listed; use the 'Parkhaus Theresienhöhe' garage 100m east (costs about €20/day). 2. Ask reception for a room on the courtyard side when you check in — they might accommodate if not busy, even if your booking says standard.
- 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 →Getting Around
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.

Top Attractions in 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.
