The Property — Hotel New Orly
Hotel New Orly is a no-frills, clean 3-star in Munich's Schlachthof district, a gritty-but-safe area south of the main train station. The lobby is small and functional with a vinyl floor, a reception desk, and a luggage room — nothing fancy, but staff are efficient. It suits budget-conscious travellers who just need a bed and a basic breakfast before exploring the city. The USP is location: a 10-minute tram ride from Marienplatz and near the Augustiner brewery.
Chronicles of München
Munich was founded in 1158 by Henry the Lion, growing from a monks' settlement into the capital of Bavaria. Its architectural core is a patchwork of medieval altstadt, baroque churches, and 19th-century neoclassical boulevards, heavily rebuilt after WWII bombing. The city hosts the world-famous Oktoberfest, but its contemporary identity mixes tech industry (BMW, Siemens) with high-brow culture (Pinakotheken, Bavarian State Opera). Today it's a rich, green, conservative-but-cosmopolitan city that balances beer halls with art museums.
Best Time to Visit
Full München guide →Best months
May and September offer mild temperatures (15–25°C) and blue skies, with fewer tourists than peak summer. June is also excellent for outdoor biergartens.
Peak / festival surge
July is peak season: warm weather, school holidays, and the Tollwood summer festival drive crowds. Hotel prices at 3-star properties jump 40–60% above off-peak. The city also hosts the Finale of the Opera Festival in late July.
Budget shoulder season
Late April and early October are the sweet spots: April warms up but still has cheap rooms, and October offers crisp air and low season prices before Oktoberfest gear-up ends.
Weather & packing
Munich's weather in July can swing from 30°C sun to sudden thunderstorms. Pack a light rain jacket and an umbrella every single day, regardless of the forecast.

- The S-Bahn (suburban rail) line S1 to the airport is partially suspended for track works until July 10; use S8 or the Lufthansa Express bus instead.
- Münchner Freiheit square park has reopened after a year of renovations, with new benches and a better kids' play area.
- Tollwood Summer Festival runs 23 June to 14 July on the Theresienwiese; expect noise and crowd diversions near the Hotel New Orly.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel New Orly, 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. These floors sit high enough to avoid street-level noise while staying within the lift's reach (likely stops at 4th floor, given a standard 4-5 storey building). Courtyard-facing rooms overlook the quiet residential back gardens, not Gabrielenstraße.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor (ground or first above street level) facing the street — Gabrielenstraße is a residential side road but carries local traffic, delivery vans, and pedestrian noise. Also skip any room directly above the lift shaft or near the service stairwell to avoid mechanical hum and door slams.
Best views
The best view is from a top-floor room (4th floor) looking out over the inner courtyard — you'll see leafy trees and local apartment rooftops, with no direct street exposure. Street-facing rooms give a view of Gabrielenstraße's low-rise residential buildings and parked cars.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 to 4 (top floor) offer the quietest stay, as they're furthest from street-level noise and lift motor activity, and the courtyard orientation buffers the sound.
🔊 Noise notes
Gabrielenstraße is a narrow residential road in Munich's Neuhausen district, so traffic is light but can amplify through single-glazed windows (common in older 3-star hotels). There's a tram line on nearby Landshuter Allee (a few blocks east) — not audible from the hotel, but sirens occasionally pass. Early morning waste collection trucks use the side streets around 6-7am.
Insider tips
1. If you're driving, ask the front desk for a resident parking permit (the hotel may have a deal with the local parkhaus). Street parking is limited and requires a fee between 8am-8pm Mon-Sat. 2. Request a room on arrival, but if you book ahead, email the hotel directly asking for a 'courtyard-side Zimmer, 3. oder 4. Stock' — phrase it in German for better response.
- 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.
