In the early 90's I walked into this hotel because it was cheaper than the youth hostels in Munich. I think i may have been the only guest there at the time, and I spent a bit of time speaking to the owner at the time who was very nice and though his English was as bad as my German we got along just fine. In fact he even let me use the hotel's only washer and dryer. This is where he and I became friends. While talking to him he showed me several scars on his chest area, huge scars, and simply said "American GI" smiled and pointed at me and said we are friends now. Not nerve racking at all for a kid in his late teens.
For years afterwards I have returned to the hotel, always being given a room for the 20 marks a night I paid that first year. Now that deal is gone, though while it lasted I watched this place turn into one of the more beautiful and comfortable small hotels in Munich. I believe the last time the nightly rate was over 200 dollars. I can not afford that, but I still walk by, and though my old friend is no longer there, I still stop in to look around the lobby and tell my friends the stories.
The location is ideal for those who can afford it. Right down the street from the park, a short walk from the old square, and not a terrible walk from the train station. Some day when I make more money I will happily stay here again.
