The Property — Hotel Royal
Hotel Royal is a no-fuss three-star in central Munich, a short walk from the Hauptbahnhof. The lobby feels efficient and tidy, with dark wood, a small front desk and a vending machine for beer and water – it's aimed squarely at travellers who want clean, reliable rooms near the train station and are happy to skip the frills. Good for budget-conscious visitors or early risers catching a train.
Chronicles of München
Munich began as a medieval monastic settlement in 1158, when Henry the Lion built a bridge and a mint on the Isar. The city flourished under the Wittelsbach dukes, who rebuilt the centre in Baroque and Rococo styles – see the Residenz and Theatinerkirche. Ludwig I and his architects made it a neo-classical showpiece in the 19th century, but much of the old town had to be reconstructed after wartime bombings. Today, Munich is a prosperous blend of tradition (beer halls, churches) and modern tech, industry and culture.
Best Time to Visit
Full München guide →Best months
May, June and September – warm and sunny, with fewer tourists than July/August. The beer gardens are open, and you can enjoy outdoor markets without the crush.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the busiest in Munich, thanks to school holidays and the summer festival season (e.g. Tollwood). Hotel prices spike by 25–40%, and the city feels packed, especially around Marienplatz and the Englischer Garten.
Budget shoulder season
Late April and early October offer decent weather (10–18°C) with lower hotel rates and quieter streets. Oktoberfest ends on the first Sunday of October, so the first half of October is surprisingly calm and budget-friendly.
Weather & packing
Munich's weather can flip from sun to rain within an hour, even in July. Do bring a light waterproof jacket and comfortable walking shoes for rain and cobbles.
Live City Briefing — München
- Munich's S-Bahn main line (Stammstrecke) has major construction closures in July 2026, with trains replaced by buses between Hauptbahnhof and Ostbahnhof on several weekends – check the MVV website for exact dates.
- Tollwood Summer Festival is running 25 June – 20 July 2026 in the Olympiapark, with global food stalls, music and a large open-air market – expect extra crowds and better-than-usual street food options.
- A new pedestrian zone on Sendlinger Straße has just been completed, linking the city centre with the Isartor – this makes the route to the Hofbräuhaus much more pleasant and cafe-lined.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Royal, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on floors 2–4, facing the inner courtyard or away from Schillerstraße. These floors reduce street-level noise while staying high enough for quietness. If you’re a light sleeper, ask for a room at the rear of the building.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1–2 at the front (Schillerstraße side) – traffic and pedestrian noise can be loud, especially during weekends and Oktoberfest. Also steer clear of rooms near the lift shaft or stairwell, as these can carry sound from lobby activity.
Best views
The address 11a Schillerstraße means front-facing rooms overlook a busy city street with tramlines and shops – no real view. Courtyard rooms offer a quieter outlook onto residential blocks. There’s no scenic landmark view at this 3-star hotel.
Quietest floors
Floors 3–5 are generally quietest – far enough from street noise and foot traffic. The lift may service all floors, but higher floors feel more private.
🔊 Noise notes
Schillerstraße is a main road with trams, delivery trucks, and pedestrians. Nearby bars and clubs can create late-night noise, especially on weekends. The hotel’s own entrance and lift may generate some clatter at rush hours.
Insider tips
1. If arriving by car, check if the hotel has parking or whether you’ll need a public garage (Schillerstraße has limited street parking). 2. Ask for a room at the back, and request a top-floor floor (floor 5) for the best quiet – but note there may be no lift to top floors, so be prepared if mobility is an issue.
- 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.
