Camping

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.

Hotel reviews

Class: Five Star Superior

Sofitel Munich Bayerpost
	"Oriental principals, European luxury" The hotelling yin and the yang are in perfect harmony at this five-star luxury number. The designers took an Asian approach with the décor combining straight lines with contrasting darks and lights.(Read more) My rating: 8/10

The Charles Hotel
	"Making a splash" The Charles is the new kid on Munich’s “five-star superior” block and it’s trying its damndest to be the best. It’s tough not to be impressed. I especially liked how Munich’s artistic heritage was breathed into the design – Franz von Lenbach originals grace the walls and bathrooms have famous Nymphemburg porcelain tile art.(Read more) My rating: 10/10

Bayerischer Hof
	"Classic luxury" This is class that can’t be copied, style without strings. The Bayerischer Hof is one of the few Munich top-enders that’s not part of a chain. It opened in 1841 and has been owned by the Volkhardt family since 1897, now into its fourth generation. (Read more) My rating: 10/10

Le Meridien Munich
	"Top quality but reasonably priced" If you’re looking for top-quality lodgings at less than exorbitant prices, Le Meridien could be the way to go. The rooms have a neutral colour scheme and look fantastic. All have big, plasma TVs and marble-decked bathrooms. (Read more) My rating: 9/10

Class: Four star

Courtyard by Marriot Munich City Center
	"Newbie doing well" A newcomer, the Courtyard Marriot has carved out a niche in Munich’s four-star market since opening in 2006. They feature elegant maroon and mustard décor and big plasma TVs.(Read more) My rating: 7/10

Flemings Hotel Munich (München) City
	"Start of an empire" The Flemings hotel chain launched in 2001, apparently intent on world domination. They’ve already opened seven four-star hotels across the German-speaking world with plenty more to come. (Read more) My rating: 7/10

Maritim Hotel Munich
	"Both classy and homely" Maritim’s glassy façade does little to impress from street level, but wait till you get inside! The lobby is extra-plush with an adjoining piano bar. (Read more) My rating: 8/10

Class: Three star

Hotel Germania
	"Vintage appeal" Old World charm is the order of the day at the 1930s-era Germania. Rooms are well-sized with wooden highlights and pastel blues and greens. All rooms have desks and basic TVs, and they’re well sound-proofed from the street. (Read more) My rating: 8/10

Hotel Europaischer Hof
	"Good room variety and a Munich treasure" The lobby here has a nice Munich touch – a copy of a gold-guilded Moriskentänzer figurine. The original little dancing chaps date from 1480 and rank among Munich’s artistic gems. (Read more) My rating: 8/10

Hotel Dolomit
	"Small, but peaceful lodgings" This hotel takes its name from the famous coral mountains of northern Italy’s Trentino region. Rooms are simply done with dark wood highlights. (Read more) My rating: 7/10

Jaegers Hostel
	"Building for the future" A backpacking fixture, Jaeger’s will unfortunately resemble a construction site for much of 2009. Only the 40-bed basement dormitory and a smattering of four, six and ten bed rooms are available while the building undergoes renovation. (Read more) My rating: 7/10

Euro Youth Hostel
	"Simpe pad, busy bar" Party party, you won’t want for drinks of the adult variety at the Euro. Its rockin’ bar packs ‘em in 6pm to 4am with a nice, long three-hour happy hour. (Read more) My rating: 9/10
