"What started with a few student parties in the 1990s turned into a tidy line in hospitality for events and communications specialist Niels Jäger and architect Sascha Arnold. Now joined by another architect, Steffen Werner, the trio run James T Hunt Bar, Bob Beaman Music Club and Stereo Café. The Flushing Meadows, their first foray into accommodation, opened in 2014 on the top two floors of a former telecommunications building in Glockenbachviertel. “It’s more of a freestyle approach to a hotel,” says Arnold of the industrial yet relaxed setting. Each of the 11 rooms on the third floor was designed by a different creative – including restaurateur Charles Schumann, DJ Helmut Geier and Cathal McAteer, founder of Folk clothing – and features soaring 4-metre-high ceilings."

"Most boutique hotels at least try to appeal to a creative crowd — the problem is that they’re not always tuned in to what it is that creative people want from a hotel. The Flushing Meadows Hotel & Bar suffers from no such confusion. Its owners and designers are architects, bar owners, artists, musicians, even surfers, and are exactly the sort of people any hip little boutique wants as its clientele." - Tablet Hotels

Great spot in the heart of Munich. Easily walk able with many restaurants and pubs nearby. The bar on the top floor was great and all the staff were friendly and helpful as well. Would definitely stay again.

This would have been a great place to stay. However there was no hot water for the whole of the time I was there, 3 nights. I was refunded for part of the stay and given a late check out but it definitely has made me think twice before staying again. Online communication before the stay was almost non existent. When you arrive there is no clear signage for the hotel, its several floors up and no clear way of knowing your at the right place until you arrive at that floor where there was an empty reception desk. Having said this the staff that were working were really friendly. It did get a little stressful on the last day with confusion over room numbers that I had been given as a late check out. The 2 ladies that had been bar tending the roof top bar were super helpful and friendly. If you can get confirmation that the hot water works, a great spot to stay in a good location.

No hot water and constant sounds from the toilet. They promised a compensation, but does not answer my email. I’ve asked Amex GBT to remove this as a recommended hotel for businesses.

Rooftop bar overlooking an Innenhof of Munich apartments. Overpriced drinks, tight seating, and the worst of Munich bar staff. Booked here for 40 people for drinks. Staff were overwhelmed, rude, arrogant, and unpleasant. Was so bad we left for a different venue hours before we planned to. Don’t give these people your money. I cannot believe this place has 4.3 stars currently. It’s either Munich folk convincing themselves it is a cool spot, or they are gaming the system. The staff were so awful it will live long in the memory for me. Go to literally any other bar in Munich and you will be treated better and have better evening.

Don't stay if you are travelling alone or checking in at night!!! Very hard to contact and only via a WhatsApp that is not monitored after a certain time. I stayed here a few years ago and was arriving in the evening. Was trying to arrange getting into hotel all day and was told if arriving after a certain time there was a key safe box to get in as they have no reception. When at the airport my flight was delayed tried to contact heard nothing from them and as a female travelling alone to city never been was nervous about getting into hotel. Didn't hear anything from them and there was no details sent regarding the key safe. So around 12/1am no way of getting in contact with anyone or into my hotel and was really scared. Only manged to get in as people were leaving the bar 10 mins before closing and opened the door otherwise no other way to get in. Was visibility panicked and upset and staff almost found my panick amusing and it was not taken seriously. Was not offered any compensation or refund for putting me in a unsafe position with lack of responses or providing a key in the safe box to get in. Got in touch after I left and was contacted month or so later with 1 free night like I was ever planning to go back after that. Requested a refund for just one of the nights not both and been radio silence ever since. Lovely stylish hotel terrible unsafe experience for solo traveller.

Good value for money. The bar is VIBES! The rooms are clean and the bed is comfortable ♥️ the shower is great too. Uncomplicated service, easy check in and check out. Down to earth, modern, young. Had a great time and will come back.

incredible service in all the wrong ways - the staff member was so needlessly rude to us (we were waiting politely to be seated somewhere on a busy thursday evening) that not only did we leave, but two other groups behind us did the same! One of them said to us in the elevator on the way back down to fraunhoferstraße: "there are lots of good bars in Munich, why should we waste our money here." We had a great evening somewhere else, so I guess they were right.

To start with room I had to climb ladder to climb into bed, with wobbly handrail on one side. Middle of the room hammock random. Bathroom shower not the best set up. Overall room was just not comfortable. Bar first morning opened on time with no breakfast served and second morning didn’t open fill 8:20 and was late setting it up. Cleaners start with 7-8 am which is very loud in the room if trying to sleep. Very poor experience overall - won’t be booking this again.

My friends and I came here while visiting Munich and had a great night! Eunice, the bartender, was excellent-very friendly and he provided excellent service. The cocktails were aesthetically pleasing and delicious. We also ordered a few plates of food to share-the currywurst, hot ham and cheese sandwich, and cheese board. I highly recommend all of those options-they were all delicious and easily shareable amongst a small group of people. I wish it would've been warm enough to sit outside but we still had a great time inside.

avoid at all costs! most arrogant and snobbiest staff ever, drinks and service take forever - even when there were only 5 guests and are highly overpriced. Nice view from roof terrace though. But the thing that struck me most was the arrogance we got from staff. They refused to prepare ordered drinks, claiming that they don't serve "stuff like that" here. Really?! No Aperol?! Only disgusting tasting coffee and no please and thank-you's is what they're good at here - besides desperately trying to look cool. Never again! Pride goeth before the fall.

I really like this cocktail bar. To start, the drinks are pretty tasty and the space is very small, dark and intimate. Good music and a chill vibe. Lovely terrace with a great view at night. Pretty cool to look down at Fraunhoferstrasse at night as well.

My worst Bar experience in Munich. The ambiance and the drinks are OK - but the utterly unprofessional attitude of the staff really killed it for me. It's a place where the notion that politeness, attentiveness and service-orientation are prerequisites for a good and cool bar has not arrived yet. Much rather this is one of the last bars dedicated to the 90s Munich tradition of having staff who all think they are doing you a favor to let you spend your money on their mediocre G&Ts. I won't even waste my time to retell all the arrogance and stupidity I encountered during a quick 30 minute drink at the Flushing Meadows Bar. Just take every possible aspect of this experience, from arriving, to paying and leaving again and think of how it could be ruined. If you look at other commentaries about the place on whichever platform you like (see comments about the hotel on Yelp), you'll realize that I am not particularly sensitive to bad staff attitude - this place really has a service issue and obviously management doesn't care, or thinks that's how it's supposed to be... Waste of a nice location.
