Chronicles of Münster
Münster, a city of over 300,000 people, was founded in 793 by Charlemagne. Its rich history is reflected in its well-preserved medieval architecture, including the iconic St. Paul's Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city's architectural evolution is a testament to its strategic importance, with influences from the Romanesque to the Baroque styles. Today, Münster is a vibrant university town, known for its lively cultural scene and famous Westphalian cuisine. The city's strong Protestant tradition and its history as a hub for the Protestant Reformation are still celebrated during the annual Westfälischer Frieden, a UNESCO-recognised event commemorating the Treaty of Münster.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Haus Niemann, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the newer section of the hotel, which is served by the lift. These rooms are located on floors 1-3 and have a more modern feel. If you prefer a quieter room, ask for a room on an odd-numbered floor (e.g., 1, 3, 5) as these are less likely to be affected by the stairs-only access for the historic section.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms in the historic section, particularly on even-numbered floors (e.g., 2, 4, 6) as these are only accessible by stairs and may be noisier due to the shared staircases. Additionally, rooms near the stairs-only access may experience more foot traffic and noise.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address on Bentelerstraße does not offer a direct view of the city centre. However, rooms on higher floors may have a view of the surrounding rooftops.
Quietest floors
Floors 1-3 are likely to be the quietest, as they are served by the lift and have the least amount of foot traffic compared to the historic section.
🔊 Noise notes
Guests may hear noise from the street, particularly on Bentelerstraße, due to its relatively high foot traffic. Additionally, the historic section's stairs-only access may cause some noise from the shared staircases.
Insider tips
Request a room with a window on the side of the hotel away from Bentelerstraße to minimize street noise. If you're driving, consider using the nearby public car park at Gartenstraße for €10 per day, as it's cheaper than the hotel's on-site parking.
- 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
