LOVED this hotel for what we wanted. First, location. Some people are put off by hotels right around the major train station in town. Personally I don’t feel like it’s a minus. I love the hustle and bustle of major cities and train stations; there’s an endless array of food joints, Doner kebab stands, pizza places, small bars, shops and diverse people wandering around this area near the Hauptbanhof. You can get to anywhere in Munich from this location. Even better, the Marienplatz and Oktoberfest are the just a short walk away.
The rooms are clean, though on the small side. Rather no-​frills, although the bathrooms are a touch upscale with rainshowers and modernly-​styled toilets and vanities.
The breakfast is a joy! What a wonderful spread of granola, yogurt, muesli, pastries, eggs, sausages, cold cuts, fresh cheese, green juice, made-​to-​order omelettes, pancakes… the list goes on. All included in the price of the room. Wonderful value. I looked forward to this lovely breakfast everyday.
Staff very friendly. Lobby bar empty and somewhat forced. Perfect city hotel: clean, good value, excellent location, free wifi. Would stay again in a heartbeat if I go back to Oktoberfest.

Loved this hotel. It was a bit pricey but it was Oktoberfest and everything was marked up for that. It was a great location and the room was very clean, comfortable with a modern feel. The bathroom had a rain shower. The breakfast was much better than many places we visited on our Europe trip. Would stay here again!

Loved everything about the hotel itself, once inside it’s confines. Great modern lobby with useful free fresh filtered water dispenser (both sparkling and still) that we used multiple times during our visit, very clean rooms, excellent included breakfast, effective air conditioning system despite the heat wave we encountered in July, and very nice and helpful staff.
The area near the train station though, although not unsafe, is not particularly desirable and did not provide us with a good overall impression of Munich. Although there are other nice looking hotels and some upper scale hostels on the same street, within the surrounding 1 – 2 blocks, there are people loitering, and the sidewalks and surrounding streets directly around the railroad station (where we walked by each time we boarded mass transportation), were simply filthy. We discovered that this is not representative of the rest of Munich, which after getting away from this immediate area around the main station, is much cleaner and felt more comfortable to us.

The Marc Munchen had everything we needed for a 3 night stay in Munich. First off, the Marc is very convenient to the hbf (central train station). The front door is about a 5 minute walk and when you arrive with luggage this is a great perk.
We enjoyed the staff who were very pleasant… there was also water in the lobby for free ²⁴⁄₇ which was great as well.
Pros: Free breakfast is wonderful (meats, cheeses, eggs, veggies, fruits, etc…), all the coffee you like and takes all concern for the first meal off the list. Free water in lobby as I already mentioned. Location. Staff. Rooms were well sized for my wife and I including bathroom. Short walk to pedestrian mall area leading to squares of Munich.
Cons: Wish the A/​C had gotten it a little cooler (we’re from Texas and like it frigid) but there was a major heat wave in Europe, so I think normally it would be fine.
Many have mentioned location, I thought it was fine. There were shops along street that were not Prada, but we never felt unsafe in any way. Plain and simple, use your wits and you will be fine.
Recommend: Absolutely, I think the Marc is a fairly priced hotel with a great location in Munich.

Just spent three days at the Marc München and thoroughly enjoyed it. We found that it checks all the boxes and more!
Great Location: a block from the Munich Central Train Station. From the airport you can take a train to the station for 11 Euros.
Lovely and Helpful Staff: from the moment you enter they are professional, friendly and attentive. They were also very helpful with local information and gave us a late checkout on the spot. Finally, they all speak English.
Amazing Breakfast: cannot express just how amazed I was by the spread which included a great variety: cold cuts, lox, cheeses, eggs, Bavarian sausages, spreads, jams, amazing breads, yogurt, fruits, museli, juices, smoothie, waters. And the dining room is bright and nicely decorated. Staff in the restaurant were professional and very pleasant.
Wonderful Room: Neat, comfortable room with low, firm bed and a modern bathroom with a wonderful rain shower. Rooms are normal sized but well equipped. Windows have a double hinge and open from top or the side for great ventilation.
Satellite TV has many channels, though none in English other than BBC News, CNN International. Other channels in French, Arabic, Hindu. The room has a safe, good closet space, two chairs, a desk.
Lobby has a seating area with large screen tv where the patrons watched soccer matches during our stay.
The location of the hotel — about a five minute walk to the train station — was a plus for us since we took a couple excursions during our stay. Also, it’s a great location for getting around the city.
Highly recommend this hotel!

Loved, loved, loved this hotel! For the rate we paid (well under $ 200/​night), this is as good as it gets in a major European city. We stayed earlier this month and everything from the lobby to the location to the room itself was fantastic. The location is about a block from the central train station, but the street itself is fairly quiet (and totally safe). We loved that we could walk to Marienplatz within 10 minutes but could hop over to the station to get on the S-​Bahn or U-​Bahn to easily reach any other destination in the city.
Staff was welcoming and even responded to a last minute email the night before our arrival requesting early check-​in. The space is contemporary and luxurious feeling, and the Marc offers lots of little extras, like a water bottle filling station in the lobby. Our room on the 2^nd floor was completely quiet and, compared to other hotels I’ve stayed in in Europe, fairly spacious. The bathroom was sleek and well situated, easy for 2 of us to get ready in the mornings at the same time.
I’d read reviews of the breakfast before we booked and was excited that it totally exceeded expectations. It is amazing! And considering our breakfast at a so-​so café the morning before we checked in was about 15 euros for two of us, having the breakfast included in the room rate made the value even better.
I have not been this pleased with a hotel in a long time. You could pay more and be even closer to some of the tourist attractions, but when the difference is an easy 5 minute walk, I’m not sure why you would.

Great location, near the train and trams to the old city. Modern and very comfortable rooms. No noise problem even on the first floor facing the street.
Excellent service at the front desk and in the breakfast room. Wonderful breakfast.
Overall very good value.

The other review on this hotel said that it was outdated but I found it to feel very fresh and modern. Maybe it has been redone since 2008.
We stayed here in night on what would be Thanksgiving eve in the states:-) From the moment we stepped into the lobby we felt welcome and were very impressed with the clean, sleek yet warm décor! I really enjoyed this hotel, felt it was a excellent value and would stay here again!
Staff: Excellent! The staff was very friendly and spoke very good English and politely put up with my very very bad broken German:-)
Rooms: We stayed in room 210. The hotel and rooms are extremely clean and very smartly appointed. The bathroom amenities are hand soap, hand lotion, bath soap, mouth wash, shower cap, q-​tips and a blow dryer. Our blow dryer did not work but I brought one with us to will inform the staff when we leave. I know if I had asked they would have fixed it right away. The room I found to be a little too warm and was unable to get it to cool down during the night until I opened a window. The shower has a wonderful rain shower head or hand held. The water pressure is good and the temperature was ok.
Amenities: There is free wifi for every room for up to four devices! This is a wonderful plus as in the states they nickel and dime you for stuff like this. We received two free drinks cards for booking the hotel room online. The breakfast was outstanding! I will add pictures as there is no way to explain the free buffet that comes with your stay. There was 10 – 15 different kinds of bread/​rolls, cereals, fruit, meats, cheese, pancakes, waffles, bacon, sausages, eggs, made to order omelettes and/​or eggs, etc. Not only was there a large food offering but they food was fresh and delicious!
Location: Excellent! Near main train station and easy 10 blocks walk to downtown Munich. We walked back from downtown to the hotel on a Thursday night at 11pm and felt very safe! I know a lot of people have mentioned that the area where the hotel is on is a little seedy but I really didn’t feel unsafe at all. We took the S8 train from the airport to the München Hbf main train station. It was around a 40 minute ride. It was 20.80 Euro vs 50 – 70 Euro for a cab beginning on traffic. We grabbed a four seats facing each other and put our luggage in the seat area with us so it would be out of the way. It was a quick 2 minute walk to the hotel.
Note — as you approach the elevators from the lobby, the one on the left is very small and the one of the right is still small by US standards but large enough to get a few people and some luggage in it! Plus is has a very nice lighting system in it:-)

Kürzlich renoviertes Hotel mitten in der Stadt. Geschmackvoll eingerichtete Zimmer. Das Frühstücksbuffet ist reichhaltig und wird immer wieder aufgefüllt.
Nur 5 Minuten vom Hauptbahnhof entfernt und rund 15 Minuten Fussweg bis zum Marienplatz.
Sehr freundlicher Service. Kann ich jedem empfehlen.

Very conveniently located close to the main train station. The interior seems kind of old and overdue for a re-​model project. The carpet reminded me of what used to be in my Grandmother’s kitchen. However, the rooms are a good size and the breakfast was significantly better than a few of the other 3-​star hotels in the area. The price for wireless access is pretty reasonable, but the connection was practically non-​existent in our 4^th floor room. In the lobby, it worked just fine. The lobby has a few security cameras and signs warning about pick pockets which is a little unsettling, but we didn’t experience any issues or see any unsavory characters hanging about while we were there.
