BEYOND by Geisel

My wife and I just spent 4 nights at BEYOND, and we loved it. The staff is super friendly, the rooms are modern, clean, and quiet. The location is indeed the best, if you want to be in the heart of 'old town' Munich. Walking distance to the best Munich has to offer. This is not the largest hotel, with only 10 rooms on 1 floor, and 9 rooms on the top floor, but don't let that stop you from staying here. Indeed, when you open the door to your room you are opening it into the lobby/seating/relaxing area, but it works very well. There is small 'finger food' available, drinks, breakfast omelets, etc. and it is 15 paces away. But, you still have fantastic privacy. We loved it! And, the staff is super friendly, and very well trained. We interacted with Gertrude, Sarah, Elias, Lione, and Maren. ||Be advised, there are only roughly 4 English speaking channels on the TV...but one is not coming to Munich to watch TV! We would stay here again (and we like nice hotels).

Overall such a great hotel. As soon as I walked in, I felt welcomed. The location is great. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. I will definitely return to this hotel when back in Munich!

Very different from the typical hotel experience resulting in a wonderful experience. No hotel (and I stayed in the best hotels around the world) has made me feel as part of the family the way Beyond by Geisel has. The personal attention was just perfect and all hotel functions were perfectly executed. I highly recommend Beyond by Geisel.

Super service in THE BEST location. We had Room 1 - a spacious suite with a view of Marienplatz, the glockenspiel and the beautiful Christmas market. So atmospheric and a great vantage point. The windows are well insulated & there was absolutely no noise from the square below. The hotel occupies the 5th floor of a modern building and the entrance is a little unusual and out of the way. But once inside, the hotel is wonderfully stylish and chic. A great bar area for tea coffee & snacks and some of the best breakfast omelettes we’ve ever eaten. Special thanks to Sarah and Gertrude for all their help with restaurant bookings and taxis. |We would heartily recommend to anyone wanting a luxurious central location in Munich.

Can’t Believe how lucky we are to have found this amazing hotel. Every thing about it is perfect. From the decor to the surrounding architecture and the quality of the fittings all adds up to a wonderful experience. Add the cooperation of the staff and it’s just perfect.

Beyond by Geisel is one of the finest hotels we have ever stayed in. While the room was excellent and the location ideal, what made our stay so memorable was the friendly and attentive staff. We were made to feel welcome and important. We highly recommend this hotel to any travelers wanting to stay in the heart of old town Munich.

We were very disappointed with our recent stay at Beyond by Geisel. The concept of the hotel is interesting in the form of a small modern boutique hotel located on the 5th and 6th floors of a building right in front on Marienplatz. In term of location it’s as good as it gets, very central within walking distance of most sites in central Munich. The entrance is a little difficult to locate however and is in a shared entrance on a side street, you have to locate the buzzer and go through a small unseemly corridor to get to the elevator. Unfortunately the concept of this hotel is also its main problem, all the rooms are directly connected to the common area and although the doors are heavy it’s extremely noisy. I’m actually amazed that no reviews are mentioning this issue because it’s major it’s pretty much a stay-ruining issue. You don’t hear a few louder noise YOU. CAN. HEAR. EVERYTHING. AT. ALL. TIME. Other reviews were pointing out that the street noise was effectively cancelled, that is partly true, however, it matters not since the street noise is completely drowned out by the noise coming at all times from the reception, kitchen, salon, library. I’m a light sleeper and I prepare accordingly but I was disturbed even with 35 db earplugs. Serious improvements need to be made in order to correct this issue. Other than that, the rooms are decently sized and comfortable and the furniture and floor are fitting with the decor and overall ambience. The bathroom is also of decent sized but in our deluxe room the shower was very small and since there’s no door on the shower the water was often soaking the shower mat. The breakfast service is quite redundant even with the gourmet menu it gets quite repetitive and their pastries are not great with croissant being consistently undercook. Service is attentive but can be inconsistent. Some of the personnel was very helpful and attentive other were courteous but nothing more. Overall I would say the service was adequate for this type of hotel but could be improved also.

We loved everything about our stay here in Munich for a couple of nights during Oktoberfest. We were fortunate to have room 1 which is on the fifth floor directly across from the Glockenspiel on the New Town Hall at Marienplatz. Best view in the area! Service was impeccable, location is perfect, and rooms were comfortable and modern. Highly recommend!
