The Tent Munich

Stayed here with my boyfriend and a friend for three nights during Oktoberfest, the staff were extremely helpful and friendly however I would not advise staying here if there is cold weather in the forecast. The heat turns on around 20:30 so it’s really cold as soon as the sun goes down. It is a tent so there’s not a whole lot of insulation to keep the heat inside. Lights turn off at around 01:00, we brought ear plugs and eye masks so that saved us but if you are a light sleeper this might not be the place for you. Also no outlets other than in the cafe area and at reception. Not sure if they clean the sheets on the beds either. Seems like it would be a really fun place to stay in the summer but a little less so as the weather starts getting colder. Also a little overpriced for its distance from the city and what you’re getting. They also don’t have pillows so expect to use one of your blankets as a pillow.

A truly unique and welcoming hostel experience! The staff at The Tent are incredibly friendly and go out of their way to make you feel at home. Despite the open and communal setup, everything is impressively clean and well-maintained. Perfect for budget travelers who value warmth, community, and cleanliness. I WOULD 100% RECOMMEND!

I stayed in The Tent for 3 days. I wish there is one good thing I could say about this place. My biggest complaint is insufficient facilities to accommodate the number of occupants that they check in. There was always a long line for everything such as toilet, shower, electrical outlet, etc. The bunk beds are tiny and the mattresses are thin foam. The shared kitchen was locked up and the closest supermarket is 2 km away. No cafes or restaurants are nearby. The staff treated guests like they were tending cattle. The price of a bed in a tent doubled the normal price during Oktoberfest. It was one of my most horrific hostel experiences.

It's a good cheap place to stay. Bunk beds in a bigger tent or smaller rent or sleeping on the floor . A bonfire every night and offer cheap drinks or meals for anyone. A possible issue for some is noise which they stop at 1am. Warm showers and welcoming staff.

Really great service and a wonderful camping experience. Totally convenient for Munich city. Relaxed and inclusive environment. Good facilities, and a lovely fire.

This hostel was so funny and a vibe. We were in Munich for Oktoberfest. It was me, my boyfriend, brother and brother in law. This hostel catered for all kinds of travellers on varied budgets. There was tents, bunk beds, log cabins or caravans! We stayed in a small caravan. It was hilarious. We had plug sockets, double bed and a small table and chairs outside. Lovely to watch the sunset. There is a bar at this venue. Also a fire in the evenings which is really good for socialising. Lovely atmosphere.

We had to give our passports as a pant! No working wifi, no electric outles in the tent and for 180 people there is like max 20 😂 always had to wait for loading my phone! 23€ a night was too much like 10€ would be okey for place like that!

Good social hostel. We joined the free walking tour (once a week on a Wednesday morning) which was really good plus a great way to meet people. The bathrooms were clean and generally pretty tidy. The kitchen is small so it can be crowded but it was manageable. The dinners they served were really nice and reasonably priced (same with the breakfasts in the morning). You can leave your devices or power banks charging in reception. Staff were super friendly and helpful. We stayed in our own tent - you can hear noise at night but it wasn't too bad and they were good at stopping any noise at 1am. There was occasionally some noise in the morning from people walking past on the footpaths but again nothing major. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this hostel.

Depending on your level of comfort with "roughing it" THE TENT is either heaven or hell. For me, it was a good experience. The tent is BY FAR the least expensive hostel in the city, and equally unique. For backpackers with their own tent, there is a small yard which was populated by 50 or so other tents at the time of my visit. Essentially, you are stacked up with a few feet between yourself and your neighbors. Also offered is space in the large communal tent, which is filled with squeaky bunks, and equally squeaky lockers. (bring your own lock.) There are somewhat clean (by american standards) showers and restrooms, bike rentals, wifi, good cheap food, a fire pit with communal seating, and a very friendly staff. If you are used to roughing it, love to meet people, or just can't bear to be far from Nymphenburg Palace than this is a spot you should check out. Follow the signs from the street car to the end of Franz Schrank Strasse, then go left up the path.

We were here this summer and we loved it. The Tent is basically a youth hostel with a bit of a twist. You can stay in one of the two massive circus-style tents depending on how much you want to pay. In one tent, you doss down on the floor (with as many blankets from reception as you want) and in the other, you can pay a little more and have bunk beds. There's also a small space to take your own tent (which is what we did). The bar is the main focus of the site and it's like it's been lifted from a tropical beach. Hammocks and benches nestle amongst the trees making this a perfect place to chill out (which was good, seeing as it was about 40 degrees every day while we were there!) Pastries, meats and cheeses are sold from the bar at breakfast and you can get an evening meal for around 3e. 0.5l bottles of beer were 1.80e making this a fairly cheap place to hang out. The showers and toilets were cleaned every day and there's also a guest kitchen with gas burners and cutlery so you can wander 15 minutes up the road to Lidl and fetch your own food if you're on a tight budget. It's about a 5 minute walk to the tram stop where it's a 15 minute journey on the S-bahn into Munich centre. There's not much to do in Munich itself, but we'll definitely be back at The Tent to relax.
