Picolo recommends · Hotel in Munich, Bavaria
25hours The Royal Bavarian
Kings, hunting lodges and Alpine kitsch turned into colourful rooms, right across the street from Munich’s main station.
Antlers, crowns and mountain motifs turn up in unexpected places here. The theme borrows from the story of Bavaria’s kings and from Alpine hunting lodges, with a wink rather than a bow.
Rooms are bright and packed with detail, and the restaurant and bar draw a local crowd as well as guests. Step outside and the main station is right in front of you, with trains, trams and the S-Bahn in every direction.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose 25hours The Royal Bavarian
This is our value choice in Munich. You get a lot of personality and an extremely handy location for less than you would pay in the old town, and it is a fun base for friends travelling together.
Not for those who want classic calm or big rooms. The design is busy and the station area is loud, so if you prefer space and quiet, The Charles is a short walk away.
