The Property — NH Collection München Bavaria
The NH Collection München Bavaria sits on the busy corner of Bayerstraße, a short walk from the main train station. Its lobby is open-plan with a modern, polished feel – marble floors, a central bar, and plenty of seating that manages to feel both professional and relaxed. The mid-century-style bedrooms are sleek but not cold, with good soundproofing and solid bathrooms. This is a place for people who want a reliable four-star base with decent breakfast, a fitness room, and direct access to public transport, rather than character and charm.
Chronicles of München
München began in 1158 when Henry the Lion built a toll bridge over the Isar, then fortified the settlement. The Wittelsbach dynasty, who ruled for over 700 years, shaped it into a centre of art, trade and Catholicism, leaving the Residenz and Frauenkirche as landmarks. The 19th-century saw a grand expansion under Ludwig I, who commissioned the boulevards and neoclassical squares that define the city centre today. Bombed heavily in World War II, the city rebuilt with a blend of historical facsimiles and 1950s modernism. Contemporary München balances its reputation as a high-tech and automotive hub with a fiercely preserved Bavarian identity – beer halls, folk festivals and a very liveable civic life.
Best Time to Visit
Full München guide →Best months
May, June and September: mild temperatures (15-25°C), long daylight hours, and the beer gardens are fully open. Crowds are present but not overwhelming.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the busiest months for general tourism, with hotel rates at their highest (often double the off-peak). Summer weather attracts domestic and international visitors. Late September to early October brings Oktoberfest, which spikes prices further and fills every hotel room; booking a year ahead is essential.
Budget shoulder season
April and October: still decent weather (10-18°C), lower accommodation prices, and far fewer tourists. October after Oktoberfest is particularly quiet and good value.
Weather & packing
München's climate is continental, so even in July you can get a cool, wet day (15°C and rain) or a hot one (30°C). Pack layers: a light jacket or cardigan, comfortable walking shoes, and always carry a compact umbrella.
Live City Briefing — München
- The U-Bahn line U2 between Hauptbahnhof and the city centre is currently undergoing weekend closures for track upgrades – check MVV's app for alternative routes.
- A new pedestrian zone on Sendlinger Straße, between Karlsplatz and Marienplatz, has just finished construction; it's now a pleasant walk through shops and cafés.
- The 2026 construction of a new city library on the former site of the old botanical garden is causing noise and detours near the Karlstor – avoid that corner for now.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to NH Collection München Bavaria, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 4 to 6 facing the inner courtyard. These floors sit above the street-level bustle and the courtyard side cuts most of the Arnulfstraße traffic noise. You get a quieter night without sacrificing the central location.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1 to 3 facing Arnulfstraße. The tram lines run along this street, and lower floors get both the track rumble and pedestrian noise from the pavement below. Also avoid rooms near the lift shaft on any floor — the lift machinery is audible in adjacent rooms.
Best views
Only street-facing rooms (facing Arnulfstraße) offer a view of central Munich — think rooftops and tram lines. Courtyard-side rooms give you a peaceful outlook over the inner block but no cityscape. If you want a landmark view, request a high floor (5 or 6) at the front, but accept the noise trade-off.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 to 6 are the quietest. They're high enough to dodge street-level noise but not so high that the building's rooftop ventilation units become an issue.
🔊 Noise notes
Main noise sources: Arnulfstraße tram tracks (rumbling from 5am to midnight), the bar/lobby on the ground floor (crowd noise peaks 7pm–10pm), and the lift shaft (audible hum in adjacent rooms at all hours). Weekend nights may have extra pedestrian noise outside the Hauptbahnhof area.
Insider tips
1. If you're driving, skip the hotel's central parking (expensive and tight) and use the Parkhaus Hauptbahnhof one block west — cheaper and larger bays. 2. Request a room with a kettle at check-in: the standard rooms don't include one, but the front desk will often bring one up if asked nicely.
- 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

Buy a day pass for public transport instead of single tickets; drink tap water (it's safe) and order Leitungswasser at restaurants; shop at discount supermarkets like Aldi for snacks and drinks.

🚐 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.
