Schwan Locke, Theresienwiese

December 2025. Booked two terrace suites - panoramic view on the 6th floor for 4 adults. Beautiful courtyard and skyline views. Modern and finished to an exceptional high standard. Staff very professional and helpful. Our spacious rooms came fully equipped with kitchen unit, dining and lounge. Bathrooms, high quality aromatic toiletries and bedrooms, plush bedding. The hotel restaurant and bar is spacious with high quality breakfast spread catering to all our dietary requirements. We really enjoyed our stay. Close to both train (Theresienwiese) and trams, with historic sights as well as a variety of excellent restaurants walking distance.

The establishment surprised us in two ways. On one hand, the facilities are modern, clean, and offer amenities like a gym and parking. On the other hand, it is an aparthotel, whereas we initially thought it was a regular hotel (perhaps this was our mistake for not researching enough, though it wasn't very clear on Booking).||> Since it is an aparthotel, services you might expect—like daily housekeeping—do not exist. This is a problem; during a one-week stay, the room is cleaned only once. We stayed for a week and paid just over €2,000, which, in our humble opinion, makes it very expensive considering it lacks certain hotel services.||> There are also other issues, such as the dining options. The establishment distinguishes between the 'bar' and the 'restaurant.' The bar opens daily but offers simple snacks and pizzas. The restaurant, however, is only open in the evenings from Tuesday to Sunday, and the menu is not very extensive—oddly enough, it has no more than 15 dishes, only one of which is German. Far from exquisite; quite the opposite. It feels more like school cafeteria food.||> Perhaps the establishment's concept—a young, fresh, modern building with staff who look more like volunteers or fellow guests than employees—isn't bad in itself. However, considering the price, it didn't meet our expectations. We have stayed in hostels and similar establishments before and have never felt this way.||> Finally, I should mention that the gym is decent, and there is a laundry room and good parking. Also, the staff is very pleasant and friendly ('majo') and they always try to help with any problems you might have

This cozy hotel is absolutely fantastic! The location is superb, just a few hundred meters from Munich Central Station and a metro station is only a few dozen meters away. The staff are incredibly welcoming. The breakfast is plentiful. The room has a fully equipped kitchen, living room, and balcony, even including tableware—it feels just like home. There's free laundry facilities and a gym in the underground parking lot. I shared it with my friends on my first day of stay, and we will definitely stay here again if we come to Munich again!

Great room. Comfortable bed. Plenty of space. Enjoyable breakfast. A bit of a walk to the main part of town. Not a big negative. Mo at reception is very helpful, friendly and good for a quick chat. Nice inviting bar.

There seems to have been a change in staff, as they were much less friendly than before. I asked whether it would be possible to change to a larger room, since I have always stayed in the same room size at this hotel. They immediately became defensive and only offered an upgrade at a higher price. The Navan platform did not show room sizes, so I booked the same option as always, but the staff did not want to listen to what I was trying to explain.

Locke really is putting other hotels in this price category to shame: the quality, attention to detail and range of amenities you get here is just so far above any competitors. The rooms are comfortable, generously equipped and full of clever functional touches. Although compact, the fitness room is well thought out to give you options for full-body strength training - it's far more than just cardio (in fact, there isn't even a treadmill!). The area feels safe and lively until well into the night. You can be in Hbf in under 5 minutes, plus there are dozens of popular levantine and/or halal restaurants nearby.

Amazing, cozy accommodation. Located near downtown in very quiet neighborhood. Inside your room, there is everything you need for a long and short stay. Mini kitchen ( literally everything you need ), iron, ironing table…. Very big rooms, compared with standard hotel rooms, with modern interior design. Gym is small, but there is basic equipment to cover all types of workouts. Crew is amazing, everyone is friendly! Wish that daily cleaning is available. At least to take garbage out of room and provide new towels. Otherwise you have to call a reception and coordinate with them. 100/10 ❤️ all recommendations

Everything was great, perfect accommodation close to the center. Clean and easily accessible. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Fully equipped kitchen, view of the courtyard. I enjoyed my stay here. I can recommend it!
