Schwan Locke, Theresienwiese

The location was perfect for our vacation. It is walking distance from the train station, easy two block walk to Oktoberfest, and about a 15 minute walk to the Old Town area. The room was clean and spacious, had a nice sitting area by the window, comfortable bed, adequate kitchen area and a good size bathroom. It was great to have the laundry available. We were able to wash all our clothes in the middle of our two week vacation. Dryers did not work too well, but having the drying racks available worked well, dried the clothes in our room over night. Would definitely stay here again!

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

The hotel is at a convenient location close to the central station and U5. About 1.5 km from the old city center. Many eateries' nearby.||||The terrasse suit I had was modern and clean. And due to the terrasse it feels more spacious. The room had a spacious batchroom, an equipted kitchenette and a sitting area.||||Good breakfast and friendly staff. Since it is basically an apartment, there is no daily cleaning. But a any time you can ask for clean towels. There is no airco, which for my stay was not an issue, but might be in the summer.||

I stayed in the Ludwig Suite which was just under €300 per night. Very disappointed with the layout and cleanliness of the apartment. The bed is tiny and hemmed in by walls on both sides. The TV faces the balcony and cannot be viewed from either the bed or the sofa. The outdoor furniture needs to be thrown out as it is so stained and mouldy. There is no air conditioning, although the front desk provided a fan on request. The shower recess is in need of a deep clean and there were bloodstains on the living room and bathroom floors, which they cleaned up after we requested it. The hand wash and body wash bottles were empty when we arrived and we had to ask for these to be replaced. (They also left us another four spare 250ml bottles. While I can see the funny side of this, the passive/aggressive nature of the gesture was not lost on me. Maybe if you did your job properly in the first place, you wouldn’t need to be called back.) Later on in the stay, we also discovered that there was no washing powder or dishwasher detergent either. The hotel is in an ugly and dodgy part of town and so factor this into your decision making. I have stayed at the Schwan Locke in Berlin previously and had a really pleasant stay, so it was a shame to have had such a poor experience in Munich.

I was so excited to stay at this hotel but was disappointed. The room was not very clean, we found an earring from someone else before us and everything just seemed a little dirty. The shower curtain had mold on it and the absolute most horrifying thing was we needed a cot and when the staff brought it up, there was a yellow pee stain on it. They very quickly covered it up with sheets and didn’t acknowledge or admit it was there. The member of our party just slept on top of the sheets and comforter and used towels as blankets. So overall, this place was worth the location as we were going to Oktoberfest but it’s by no means a 4 star hotel.

I booked this hotel for its location near the Oktoberfest venue, but the experience didn’t match the price tag.||The hotel only refreshes room amenities and bed linens once every 7 days, citing environmental reasons. While I support sustainability, this felt more like cost-cutting than eco-consciousness. Communication with staff is only through WhatsApp, which can be frustrating if you need immediate assistance.||The bathroom was the worst part. Water didn’t drain properly, and I had to manually turn the tap on and off every few seconds during my shower to prevent flooding. It felt more like managing a reservoir than relaxing.||There’s no air-conditioning, so I had to open the window for ventilation. Unfortunately, guests gathered outside for wine and dinner until late at night, and their conversations echoed into my room—making sleep difficult.||The only upside? The TV could stream YouTube. But that’s hardly enough to balance out the discomfort. If you’re coming for Oktoberfest and don’t mind sacrificing comfort, this might work. Otherwise, look elsewhere.

||The location was good, and it was really nice that I could cook our own meals in the room. Hoever, there were no comfortable chairs, and there was no bathtub. It is not good that the staff at the counter eat snacks while working. The hotel‘s design geared toward a young crowd, making it hard to relax. I wish the trash removed every day. It feels more like a rental apartment than a hotel. I would have been satisfied if the price had been a bit lower.

An excellent spot very close to the Munich central station via travel on the U-bahn (metro). Nice quiet neighborhood and the rooms are artistically decorated. The rooms are spacious and the kitchenette facilities are really nice. Clean space, and had the required kitchen amenities for a nice stay for a couple of nights. There are some other perks offered as well, including laundry (although the dryer machines take forever), a fitness center, a bar, and breakfast (for an extra charge). No AC during the summer heat wave, although fans were available upon request.
