Very comfortable hotel in convenient location close to main Munich railway station and only about 10 minutes walk to the Old Town. Very friendly and helpful staff - everyone we engaged with during our stay spoke excellent English. Vinothek restaurant/wine bar linked to the hotel (connecting door from hotel lobby) serves great food and wine. One thing to note is that currently (May 2025) there is major construction work happening at the railway station and across the street from the hotel, but despite this the hotel is really quiet inside. Highly recommended.

Excelsior was a great place to stay for my first time to Munich. Close to the train station and the city center, it makes for an ideal location to explore the city and the surrounding areas. I was disappointed I couldn't use my VIP benefit (the restaurant I could use my drink coupon was closed on Sunday and while I was available on Saturday I was too tired from my travels/busy doing things outside to realize I only had that night to utilize my coupon). Other than that the staff was friendly enough and the hotel was clean and equipped to serve my needs. I would've liked a more friendly and and inviting atmosphere (more staff interactions, amenities open to explore etc.) to make this an unforgettable experience, but what I got was good enough and for that I am thankful because Munich is definitely a city I would love to spend more time in, hopefully at Excelsior!

It was a nice stay. A very convenient location, comfortable room, quiet, clean. My only minuses were - the room, though nice, was in need of modernisation. To get a charger working, I had to crawl on my knees under the side table. Old bath- no show. But I managed, and may comeback. Was a good value for money. Breakfast - not exciting, with small choice, but all was fresh and nice service .

Try somewhere else.

Hotel close to station which was a plus but too old school and outdated for me. Didn’t try the breakfast as it was very expensive. Probably wouldn’t choose to stay there again. Front desk staff very snooty.

A gem of a hotel!

Great hotel, staff is very friendly and helpful. Rooms are big and comfortable with all amenities you might expect. It feels like an hotel from old times, with the care and personal touch you don’t usually find in most modern hotels anymore. Easy to get around Munich as it is right by the main train station and walking distance to the main sites in town. Would definitely recommend this hotel
