7 Best Hotels in Munich Old Town

Hotel Excelsior Munich brings a charming, polished feel to its central Schützenstraße setting. Stylish rooms and suites provide a comfortable base for exploring the city, while the Vinothek and a clear emphasis on cuisine give the stay more character than a purely functional city hotel.

One single-room configuration includes generous storage, an opening window, a mini-fridge and strong shower pressure, with the shower positioned over a bathtub; it does not include a safe or coffee machine. Booking well ahead is advisable, especially when a particular room setup matters.

Hotel Schlicker “Zum Goldenen Löwen” brings traditional character to its Tal 8 setting in Munich’s Altstadt, with rooms and suites that favor an old-fashioned style over contemporary polish. Its position is the main draw: Marienplatz, Viktualienmarkt, restaurants, shopping, major sights, and U-Bahn and S-Bahn connections are all within easy walking reach.

Friendly service and a straightforward check-in help make it a practical city-center base. Light sleepers should note the frequent tolling from a nearby church bell tower.

At Sonnenstraße 2, Buddy Hotel offers a compact, contemporary stay in central Munich, well placed for exploring the Old Town on foot. Its digital hospitality model removes the traditional reception desk, making check-in and checkout seamless, intuitive and time-saving.

Air-conditioned rooms provide welcome comfort in warm weather, while complimentary morning snacks and bread add a practical extra. Room sizes vary, so travellers who prioritise space should choose their accommodation carefully.

Bob W Munich Old Town offers a digitally managed hotel stay on Baaderstraße, in Munich’s Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt area. Rooms are compact, with cleanliness and a straightforward setup among the stronger points.

On Pettenkoferstraße near Sendlinger Tor, Hotel Mondial Munich puts the old town, restaurants and cafés within easy walking reach. It suits budget-conscious travellers planning days around the city's sights, culture and shopping, with nightlife nearby too.

Leonardo Boutique Hotel Munich places guests on Amalienstraße in Maxvorstadt, around a ten-minute walk from Universität station and roughly 20 minutes on foot from Marienplatz. Comfort Single Rooms and Comfort Rooms provide a clean, functional base for short city stays.

The service can be friendly and helpful when room issues arise. Light sleepers or summer visitors should note that air-conditioning performance has been inconsistent, while the single-room format can feel notably compact; a Comfort Room may be the better fit when extra space matters.
