Hotel am Viktualienmarkt

We had a fantastic stay in the garden house located in the courtyard behind the hotel. The kingsized bed in the upstairs bedroom was great. The sofa sleeper in the upstairs family room was a bit smaller - queen sized - but very comfortable for 2 adults. The smaller bed on the main floor was very comfortable. I slept well there. There was plenty of space to put all our stuff, suitcases, bathroom hooks and counters, etc. Our family of 5, 66 yr old grandma, daughter, and 3 teenaged grandchildren had a very comfortable stay in the garden house. Also the breakfast was delicious and plentiful all 6 mornings we were there. A first rate stay and one we will definitely return to. Be advised the steps up to the 2 larger beds are steep.

We stayed here last minute (booked same day) after a bad experience meant we needed to leave our other accommodation. Location is lovely on a quiet street close to all the main sights. Was a bit pricey for a fairly basic 3* hotel, but I think that’s because Munich is expensive (and the Easter weekend). Breakfast was good, nice fresh bread. Staff were friendly.

The location and service were great but it unfortunately couldn't make up for the dated hotel. The low moments were extremely hot rooms with it being high 80s ferenheight outside. Fans were provided but it wasn't enough to make it bearable to sleep. We couldn't open windows at night as there are restaurants below the hotel and it was loud and smelled heavily of cigarettes. The Wi-Fi didn't work most of our time which let down most people as only one of us has service in Europe and there is no where to sit in the hotel to play games or talk as the breakfast area is closed off after breakfast so you're more or less stuck in your room as an only option. Breakfast was standard European breakfast and they worked hard to turn over tables

OK hotel just a few blocks from Viktualienmarkt. A bit small for a family of four, but we weren't in the room much. The hallways to the rooms look like dormitory hallways--drab grey and no color. Good breakfast and the gentleman who works the front desk was pleasant and helpful.

Stayed at this hotel with some family members while we’re on vacation in Munich. We were amazed by how close this hotel was to the Marienplatz and in turn the subway system. The rooms in the hotel were very cozy and the breakfast offered in the morning was both filling a delicious. Service as well was excellent. A nice accommodation on the final days of our Alpine vacation.

I rarely give 3 star reviews but that seems appropriate for this property. This is an old hotel without any charm or history. However the location can’t be beat. We were disappointed that there were no coffee/tea/hot water makers in room and NO coffee/tea service in lobby. First impressions are important and the old dark and dirty staircase up to our floor had unwelcoming feel as did the narrow and dark hallways with old stained carpets. The rooms were ok. Beds comfortable and bathroom good. No AC so glad to have fan in room to move air around. Our room (111) did not have a safe (front desk said it was broken). The included breakfast was good except it was the only one on our three week journey without any “hot” offerings. As mentioned location can’t be beat. In old town and next to huge market square with dozens of shops. Also very neat Old City Hall and is famous glockenspiel. All in all this hotel is ok with great location but when next in Munich we’ll look around for something a little more modern.

We spent Christmas week at Hotel am Viktualienmarkt and had the best time with our daughters and their spouses! Breakfast was great every morning and the staff was friendly and accommodating. My son-in-law especially loved the lobby’s beer vending machine!

Location, Location, and Location. This hotel is in a terrific location near the Viktualienmarkt. Easy access to Marienplatz and the Old town, Hofbrau house, and the preferred U-Bahn station of Fraunhoferstrasse. The hosts are wonderful and full of useful knowledge for your time in Bavaria. The continental breakfast has a good variety of food, especially the tasty Salami. More meat less fat the US kind, so good along with the fresh rolls and pastries. Now for the not so good. The beds was one of the worst beds we've slept in. Rock hard and we got no sleep, if you like that type of bed you'll be fine. As for us, we lacked sleep every night. Because you're so near the market, the crowd is a little livelier, and in actuality we were usally fine with that, just an FYI. A recommendation I'd make for the hosts is to install quality ceiling fans for helping with the air movement in the room, we can see how this might be more useful in the summer months without AC. Bottom line we would stay here, especially if the bed comfort were to improve.

Basic hotel in a great area that is walkable to all you want to see that serves a decent breakfast in the morning pretty much sums up this hotel. Is it lux? No. But the water pressure is good, the beds are comfortable, the wifi works and I loved that the window opened so I could get fresh air at night. The breakfast is meats, cheese, rolls, yogurt, cereals, etc. It was a delight to go down in the morning and enjoy the fare with a cup of coffee. There is a small elevator (2 people max) that will get you between the floors or you can go up and down the staircase in the back. If you plan to arrive after 9pm, you need to call the hotel before that time so that they know you are coming and will give you instructions. We had no problem as we arrived in the afternoon, but others in our group got to the hotel late and the door was locked and the "emergency number" on the door was not picked up. Not a great start to your vacation so let them know if you will be late as this is a small hotel and not open 24/7. Not fancy but you can't beat the location!

The Hotel am 'Vikki', as those in-the-know refer to the market, is a budget hotel dressed up in a slightly less shabby suit then one would normally associate with the term 'budget'. The surrounding area: *extremely centrally located in the Altstadt; the Marienplatz, 'Vikki' and the Sendlinger Tor Strasse are all the immediate area. *if you're a jogger, then you'll enjoy knowing that the Isar, along which one may run, is about a five minute jog from the hotel. *good grub and coffee all fairly close by: http://www.yelp.com/biz/trachtenvogl-m%C3%BCnchen http://www.yelp.com/biz/aroma-kaffeebar-m%C3%BCnchen#query:Trachtenvogl The above fare is just a small sampling, btw. The hotel itself: *room was fairly compact, tidy and clean, but possessed seemingly little insulation. We could hear 'klar und deutlich' any and all footfall, passing conversation and the like through our hotel room door. *no wee creams or soaps which with to fill your toiletries bag. ;) The dual-purpose, liquid soap in the shower was suspiciously called 'top line'. The hubs wasn't keen on using it, so we bought some cheap-o, German shampoo and used that instead. *fairly friendly staff; one of whom, a young woman, helpfully gave us directions to this and that, but, upon asking her about Schumann's in the Odeonplatz, she very honestly said that she doesn't frequent the area as it's way out of her price range. I get where she's coming from, but I don't think I would have mentioned that bit to visitors unencumbered, seemingly, by price restrictions to the degree that she is. *cute-looking breakfast area; we repeatedly went to Trachtenvogl for brekkie, so I can't tell you if the 7 Euro grub is good, but I'd imagine it's fine. I think if we were to score the 'appartement' on the top floor to stay in, then I'd definitely return to Hotel am Vikki.
