Small room but great location
Great location and a good budget option. The family room was very small, even compared to another A&O in Cologne. It git very warm and uncomfortable in the room in July.

Ok and clean
The hotel was ok, the staff was professional and kind and the internet worked fine all the time. We booked a double room so we didn’t have as much as a hostel experience (most of the reviews here), but we find it comfortable enough to rest and explore the city. The heating worked fine. However It’s a place you wouldn’t return if you can. The place does not offer a shared kitchen or even electric kettle. It is hell for coffee or tea drinkers in that aspect. When one does not get such basic hospitality, why would you return?

Small room, but ok for a few days. No tea or coffee making facilities. Being a hostel I expected a communal kitchen where we could make our own coffee or prepare food.

Property was adequate for 1-2 nights stay in Munich. Close to the train station but area around the property doesn't have much else.
Our room stunk of cigarette smoke, even though there are clear signs around the property saying no smoking and their was no A/C in the room.

Low cost, well located, do not expect anything els
Low cost option in Munich during Oktoberfest, well located close to Central Station. It was in general clean so not a drama but really I wouldn't repeat for business trips - maybe for family.
Room was freezing the first day (no individual heating and central heating was off, and they left windows open), second day was better as I had left windows closed and "do not disturb" tag in the door.
Bath was inconvenient, ultra low water pressure for shower and very badly designed bath position, really won't repeat.

This hotel is so bad in terms of hall cleaning. No Kitchen, the Heating was not working. Used shampoo and hand wash gel. You feel like you are living in 1880s, with its price you can get a really better hotel, so disappointed.

Prison Cell Beds. Very disappointing.
I booked a long weekend stay at the A&O München Hauptbahnhof as part of a leisure trip through Germany. It was NFL Football weekend and so when this showed up at just over £60 a night I was pleased. The pictures on the website looked lovely, and I made my booking.
The positive side of the hotel is its location. It’s super central and literally 3 mins walk from the Hauptbahnhof Exit.
That’s pretty much it sadly.
I’ve not stayed in such an uncomfortable hotel for quite some time and I’ve never been so keen for check out time to arrive. I looked at taking it on the chin and booking another hotel, but with the football everything was full and the few rooms left were very very expensive.
I had a private single room with a private bathroom. Room 605.
I don’t think I’ve ever stayed anywhere so soulless and lacking in everything. The beds were as near to being in a prison cell as I can imagine, beyond uncomfortable with cheap foam mattresses that have plastic wrapping. I hardly slept throughout my trip and dreaded going back there each evening. The room was incredibly depressing and the tv reception was awful.
It did have a decent bathroom, though the shower needed to be run for a good 5 minutes before the water was warm enough to shower with.
Cleanliness standards were good, so good that my room absolutely stank of bleach on arrival, which lingered. I guess you can’t fault them for that, given that we’ve just come out of a pandemic.
The communal areas are scruffy and real
