Meininger Hotel München Zentrum

The best to say about this place is its "very spacious" 8-bed dorm room where I stayed for 3 nights which was really one of the biggest (if not the biggest) among many various dorms I've ever stayed at (really enough room for 8 people to comfortably move around with also an ensuite bathroom for just the people in the room). And also great were the lounge room connected to the lobby on the 1st floor (with some vending machines for drinks & snacks) and the elevator for a nice convenience to get to the multiple floors. And yes, although not at a top-notch location (at a little off the city center I would say), it's just about a 15-minute walk from here to Munich Central (the main train station) where there's also a nice underground shopping center (with McDonald's for breakfasts & also a Thai restaurant for a pretty good lunch during my stay); and about another 15-minute walk from Munich Central is the city's Old Town area with its "premier sites" of the Marienplatz square & the Residenz Palace. And, my thanks are to the staff members at the desk who were all helpful with my questions and who allowed me to check out "a little late".

Dirty, no air con. **********s all over the place, on the beds, in the shower. Stains on the sheets and no mattress protectors. This is a hostel not a hotel. Staff told me to email the hotel after the trip to get a refund. I am still yet to hear after a week.
