Schwan Locke, Theresienwiese

We really enjoyed our 5-night stay at Schwan Locke and would definitely stay there again. The communication was excellent, and it started even before we arrived. The rooms are spacious and the kitchenette facilities are really nice. There are lots of other little perks offered, including laundry (and soap!), a fitness center, a bar, and breakfast (for an extra charge). Everyone we encountered was always super helpful and friendly. We loved it!

Nice staff and lovely room, but terrible location. Only 400 yards from the main train station but at least 25 minutes walk to Central Munich. The area wasn't unfriendly, but it was an eye opener at night time. The location really took a massive shine off our trip. We won't be staying here again.

Unquestionably a marvelous apart-hotel! The decor, design, layout, and amenities (including a gym and laundry room on the lowest floor) were all on point. The bed was comfortable, and there were plenty of drawers and cupboards for storage of clothes. A lovely balcony and a versatile window that could be opened in multiple ways added to the charm. The bathroom was top-notch, with thoughtful attention to detail—even a magnet to cover the oven’s flashy and bright clock! We also greatly appreciated how easy it was to cast any streaming service from the phone directly on the TV. Dogs are warmly welcomed—we even received a delightful selection of treats and toys for ours, which was such a sweet gesture. We will definitely be back! Pro tip: upon checking in, do review all the offered services, so as to not miss on them!

Good Location, Well-Equipped Room, but Disappointing Early Check-In Policy The location of the hotel is great, and the room was clean and well-equipped with everything from an oven to an iron — very convenient for a comfortable stay. However, I was disappointed to be charged an additional €30 simply because I arrived at 10:40 AM, (check-in time is 3:00 PM.) This was the first time I’ve encountered a hotel that charges extra for early check-in in modern history !! It gave me the impression that customer service is not a priority here. Bottom line to be fair, book a room if you are sure you will arrive post 3:00 PM and i am sure they will charge extra for few minutes late check out even if there is no body booking the room as most important for them is to suck your wallet.

The hotel itself is good. It has free laundry included downstairs, however the machines are terrible. Took 3.5 hours to dry 7 items. Housekeeping is practically non existent. They only changed sheets and houseclean the room once in 13 days. Reception was somewhat oblivious as we stood there for at least 5 minutes to ask a question but they were too busy chatting even though they saw us. That’s terrible and unheard of. Room had a kitchenette with small wares dishwasher microwave and fridge/freezer combo. Hotel is about 15-20min walk to centre but in middle of Turk/Arab town and pretty sketchy, especially at night. Avoid it at nighttime. I prefer something closer to centre and not in this neighbourhood, had I known. Overall not bad but wouldn’t stay here again.

Friendly staff, there's underground parking and hotel is in a good location. Breakfast was also pretty good. But the main and only issue is the hotel doesn't have air conditioning. I would not recommend staying there in the summer months.

The Schwan Locke is a relatively new hotel in the center of Munich, not far from the Hauptbahnhof (Central Station). We stayed here for one night and overall enjoyed our time. The rooms are modern and spacious. They have a kitchen, so self-catering is an option if you stay longer but we didn’t make use of this facility. The furniture and interior decoration are stylish, the bed was comfortable, there was a lovely balcony to the central courtyard, and everything was in good condition. Despite these positive aspects, there are also some downsides, which point to room for improvement. The check-in time (16:00) is too late and the check-out time too early (11:00). We arrived around lunch time and our room wasn’t ready. The lady at the reception said we could have an early check-in at 14:00 but it would cost 30 Euronen. I find this quite an excessive and not very fair policy. We could leave our luggage in the meantime for free but we had to drag it ourselves to the storage room, which is relativley far away from the reception. The shower was leaking and flooded parts of the bathroom. The reception staff also seemed surprised that we only stayed for one night and we felt slightly stigmatized because of this (their language insinuating that this was unusual/strange, when such value judgements should be abstained from with a more service-minded customer orientation). I overheard another guest complain that an email address must be disclosed again at check-in, when it should already be in the system for bookings through third-party platforms such as Expedia. I personally didn’t mind too much but I can see how some people perceive it as cumbersome. Also the breakfast seemed not very good value for money (24€ is a bit much for the type of hotel, even in a high-price city like Munich) and we were glad we didn’t book it. Overall, the experience was still good but definitely not perfect and I would give 3.5 stars in total if I could, but am rounding up due to the good state of the facilities and the nice rooms.

Couldn’t recommend enough, would give 10 stars if I could! The staff were so lovely (special shoutout to Abdul), and we felt so welcomed upon arrival after a long journey. We were also upgraded to a room with a balcony which was a huge plus! The room was very clean, and had all you needed for a short stay. Super comfy bed and sofa. The linen smelled amazing and we loved the luxury shampoo and conditioner. Also, we were pleasantly surprised that there was a washing room and a gym (both free of charge) - I would recommend Schwan Locke to advertise this more widely as we used both a lot during our stay. Only tiny negative. Echoing what others have said- a shame about temperature control not being in the room as we found it quite hot at night. However, a remedy for this could be offering a lighter (summer) duvet too? We left the window open at night too which helped, and this by no means tainted the stay at all. We will be looking out for more Locke’s when we travel again.
