Munich has accommodation to please every taste and touch, and standards are generally higher here than in other big German cities.
There are many hotels and hostels clustered around the Hauptbahnof (Main Train Station).

While this is convenient and close to the Oktoberfest field it's not a particularly nice part of the city with more than its fair share of porn shops and sports bars.

Nicer are lodgings closer in to the Altstadt or along the Isar River but these are a tad harder to come by.
There is also a smattering of hotels around Munich Airport, see here for listings a map.

If you're in Munich and you're still scouting for a hotel, pick up a copy of the excellent Munich City Guide from the tourist office.
It lists just about every lodging in the city.

Prices

Space in Munich is a valued commodity and you might find yourself forking out more on accommodation here than in cities like Berlin or Hamburg.
Rates go up during the warmer months (expect to pay "high season" prices from May to October).

Be prepared to bite the bullet if you're coming for Oktoberfest. Prices skyrocket up to three times the normal going price.

For example, the budget hotel chain Ibis charges €49 for one person during summer and €179 for the same room during the festival. It's crazy but you can expect all the hotels to do the same.

Counter-intuitive though it is, hotel rates usually go down on weekends.
I guess this is because of the high number of business travellers push up demand during the week. It's worth asking for a discount if you're coming for a weekend.

If you're really looking to save money you might want to consider staying at a campsite or participating in the free accommodation service, CouchSurfing.
See the stories below to explore the options.

Scared by Oktoberfest hotel prices?

You can cut costs by staying outside Munich during Oktoberfest. Though you'll have to pay a bit extra to commute in and out you'll end up saving a bunch on "festival surcharges" heaped on by the Munich hotels.

Smaller cities less than an hour away from central Munich by train include Augsburg, Landsberg and Freising.
It's even possible to do Oktoberfest as a day-trip from Salzburg in Austria, it's about two hours away by train.

Camping is another econmical means to visit Munich, and this way
you get to enjoy the city's green spaces at the same time.
Some sites don't require you to bring a tent (they have their own for rent) and there is even a special site set up just for Oktoberfest.
Most also have space for caravans and campervans.
