Helvetia Hotel Munich City Center

So I read just about every review I could of this place and it seemed like people were talking about two different hotels. Some people mention all kinds of horror stories about their stay while others had totally pleasant visits. I wasn't sure what to expect! I had a great stay! I was visiting Munich to enjoy several days of hiking throughout Bavaria, so I just needed a safe, clean place to sleep & shower near the train station that wasn't too expensive. This was perfect for me! I really couldn't have been happier with my stay as it perfectly met my needs. And it had an in-room A/C unit, which I didn't expect at all but definitely welcomed! Great value for this traveler. The street noise wasn't bad, the neighborhood seemed fine (I wouldn't want to go much further south - it gets pretty active and wild at night 1-2 blocks further), and the bed was clean and comfortable. It's not a luxurious 4-star stay, but that's not what I wanted and out of my price range. For my budget this was ideal.

Reception was very helpful. The room was clean and had a lovely, strong, fast-working A/C unit for the hot days we were there. It had a small desk with a chair and another chair in the corner so we had lots of places to sit and room to put all of our baggage. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom was clean and there was excellent water pressure in the shower, though the temperature did fluctuate a little during showers. There was a hair dryer and a magnified mirror in the bathroom.

The hotel's closeness to the train station was invaluable, making travel very convenient. There are also plenty of great eateries and shops right at hand, which made the stay even more comfortable. Room 109 had a bathroom that felt almost ballroom-sized, which I really enjoyed. The place is well-equipped, the staff are very kind, and it offers good value for anyone on a shoestring budget.

Room and Bathroom was spacious. Location is excellent. The staff are excellent. The senior citizen lady at the reception in morning shift is very friendly. She deserve extra bonus. The gentlemen in the evening shift is also very helpful. He also deserves extra bonus. The lady in the kitchen during the breakfast time today, she is very understanding. She deserves extra bonus.

Very quiet ,clean, all though the loud area, comfortable room and bed and the lady at the reception also polite and helpful ,for a short stay a very nice option, I here is the rule of ,what you pay for, is what you get, so for the 3 stars hotel, the price and the location ,very satisfied ! A good choice for a short stay in Munich, especially if you travel by train!
