Accommodation Tips in Munich
1 Area Options
Public transport works very well, day and night, so feel free to choose a hotel also a bit far way from the city center and save some money.
2 Determining Needs
Its worth thinking about what you require of your accommodation. A conventional hotel room with private bath and balcony, possibly with meals included in the price? Or would a self-catering apartment be more suitable, especially if you are travelling in a group or with family? Do you plan to stay in one area or do you want to see many of the nearby sights?
3 Choosing the Best Location
Choose a hotel which is good connected with to public communing.
4 Price
The cost of accommodation varies widely, in particular during the biggest events like the Oktoberfest or some Trade Fair.
If you wish to save some money, you should plan your trip to Munich not during that dates.
5 Making a Reservation
The easy way to book a room is online, using the several web portals.
6 Finding a Hotel on the Spot
Unless you want to spend hours casting about for a room, and possibly not finding anything in your price-range, this is not recommended.
7 Tipping
As elsewhere in Europe, tipping is not mandatory, but the workers are happy to receive the 10% of the total.
8 Hidden Extras
Parking, phone use and breakfast may or may not be charged as extra; determine what you are liable for in advance.
9 Travelling with Children
Munich is well set up for family travel.
10 Language
German is the main language, but English is spoked everywhere, so no worry about the language.
