About Munich Rooms

An independent guide for UK visitors, written in Munich.

Who writes this

Daniel Parasole, Munich

I have lived in Munich since 2014 and fell for the city early on. Every district has its own character, and you notice it on every corner. My first flat was near Harras in Sendling, which is handy at Oktoberfest time: the U6 gets you close to the Wiesn in a few stops, and bus 53 takes you straight to Schwanthalerhöhe.

How we pick stays

Licensed places only. We recommend hotels, aparthotels and guesthouses that are allowed to host guests. Munich restricts holiday flats, so we do not recommend whole flats unless the host can show they are legal. Why this matters.
Location first. We look at how long it takes to get to the Wiesn, the Messe and the old town, using the official MVV timetable.
Honest notes. Every area gets a line on what it is not good for.
Commission does not decide. Whether a place earns us money plays no part in whether we recommend it.

How we make money

Munich Rooms is free to use. We plan to earn money through affiliate programmes: if you click a partner link and then book, the provider pays us a commission. The price you pay does not change.

Our planned partners are Booking.com (through the network CJ) and GetYourGuide. Every affiliate link will be marked “(Ad)”. At the moment this site has no affiliate links.

We do not sell rooms and never take payment. Read more about affiliate links and your data in our privacy policy.
