Sofitel Munich Bayerpost

Fabulous hotel! Nice big building, room was great and the staff were very attentive. We stayed on the 7th floor in a luxury king room which was really comfortable and spacious. The spa was nice and the pool was good for swimming but unfortunately too cold to relax in (maybe because it was -10 Celsius outside). Bar was good too. We really enjoyed it

Stayed here for 4 nights in January 2026 with my wife and 2 teenage daughters. We absolutely loved this hotel. If you are arriving by train, it's all of a 2 minute walk to the hotel, and you are immediately in a haven! Great location, only a short walk to Marianplatz, but you could catch the train if you really wanted to. Excellent rooms and decor, ours were connecting which was really handy. Rooms were made up very nicely. Heated toilet seats were very popular with one of our daughters!! Breakfast was excellent, a huge selection, plus very attentive staff to provide coffee/tea/juice etc. All of the people that work there are really friendly and helpful. We didn't use the spa, but plenty of patrons did, if you stay here you'll see a lot of people walking around in dressing gowns and slippers!! You might think that staying next door to the train station would be really noisy, it is the exact opposite, I don't think we ever hear a train come or go during our stay, and we are talking about Munich's equivalent of Central a Station here. I would very much enjoy staying here again.

I checked in on 1 January, staying 4 nights, was allocated room 638, I am an Accor Diamond level member (highest in their ALL loyalty programme) and usually receive an in-room welcome gift (can be wine, fruit, chocolate or souvenir etc.) whether staying in a Sofitel, M Gallery hotel or even a Novotel. On this occasion I received no such welcome gift. When I asked about this at reception on my final afternoon they said I should have indeed received it, they made a phone call but 2 hours later I had still not received it. As an ALL member (Diamond or other levels) you also receive a welcome drink voucher to use in the hotel bar. Again on my final afternoon I went to the hotel bar to use this. I entered the bar/validated the welcome drink voucher in Accor ALL app at 15.52, they eventually took my order 10 minutes later (no big problem yet), presented me with a bill of €19 for the drink 5 minutes after that but after a further 30-35 minutes the drink had still not arrived. I therefore asked to speak to a manager, complained (didn't know how much more of my time they wanted to waste), and never even received the drink. So much for a "welcome drink voucher"..... Breakfast in this hotel was also an experience. I went down on Saturday morning at around 09.30, had to queue (no big problem yet), was let into the breakfast room but had to walk around the entire room to find that all tables were fully occupied. There was an entirely empty darkened section of the breakfast room cordoned/curtained off but they weren't letting any guests sit there. I had to leave the breakfast room and go back to the entry desk saying there were no free tables so they then opened up the empty section of the room (facilitating the lives of their staff obviously seems much more important to them than facilitating paying guests). To get an orange juice at breakfast you have to attract the attention of one of the servers, my experience was that this can take quite a while. Guests sitting beside me ordered a basic tomato juice and seemed surprised to be presented with a bill for this, tomato juice is hardly a luxury item, or at least they did not seem to have been informed when ordering that they would be asked to pay extra for this. House-keeping service was quite deficient also. The turndown service appeared randomly some evenings and not others. They only offered a bottle of water so no problem to skip it anyway. My room was generally never cleaned or serviced until 15.00/15.30 on any day even though there seemed to be a cleaning trolley in the corridor outside my room almost all the time. On the second day they filled the shower gel container in my bathroom but then the next morning I discovered that they had fixed/locked the dispenser and I could get no shower gel out of it, had to go down to breakfast without having a shower and couldn't get the problem fixed until they eventually came to clean/service my room around 15.00/15.30. It seems clear that the hotel management and staff priority is to facilitate their own lives/working days rather than paying guests. It's the first time I come across a revolving door at the hotel entrance which does not revolve, guests have to push it themselves, whether dragging their luggage behind them or not. The hotel is located in a square which is currently very dirty and unsightly due to large construction works taking place at the dilapidated main railway station beside the hotel. It seems that these construction works will last for some years. There is a Le Meridien hotel located directly across the street from the hotel, I may stay there next time, hopefully the staff and hotel management there pay a little bit more attention to basic, legitimate and expected customer service levels.

I really expected much more from a Sofitel brand hotel charging over 400 euros a night. It is difficult to describe what a mediocre hotel this is. It looks and feels like a repurposed office. Extremely dark, run down furniture, no nice place to sit in the lobby or the bar. Our room was supposed to be a luxury room with 1920s charm and a king bed. We actually got a full sized bed with sheets that barely covered the saggy mattress. There was a weird yellow chair in the room taking up remaining floor space and the courtyard view is disgusting. The overpriced Breakfast is served in a sort of basement room - cafeteria style environment. The hotel does not have enough car parking and it was total chaos when we arrived to try to get our stuff unloaded and get the hotel to take care of the car. The location is also not great. Lots of construction around and the area is the typical mix of rail station chaos, crappy stores and weirdos.

Absolutely fantastic hotel! Even best Sofitel we've ever been. French courtesy combined to old German building - worked really really nicely. Lobbybar very "one of a kind" and superfriendly staff in every role. Only 100-200meters to railwaystation. Splendid weekend with a kid!
