Sofitel Munich Bayerpost

Great sense of hospitality from the front desk and the passionated Spanish guest relation officer. Lovely bar and very comfortable signature Sofitel beddings. Convenient location right next to the main train station. The heritage building is full of history.

Poorly designed bathroom with glass between it and bed. If you turn on the bathroom light you’ll wake your sleeping partner. Also open shower so water goes everywhere. Room is quiet. Bed is comfortable. Lights next to bed can brain you if you’re not careful. Pool is warm but weirdly laid out. I like the hotel and its staff but not its architect. Jeffrey in breakfast room is a treasure. Someone may try and steal him. I saw him diffuse a shouting customer and had him laughing. He runs it with charm and efficiency.

Hotel is located next to the train station. Unfortunately the direct surrounding isn’t too great, although Old Town is walkable. Building itself is beautiful, elegant and fully renovated. My room was great, spacious and comfy. As always, amazing Sofitel feather bed made me sleep like a baby. Friendly staff.

My family and I stayed at the Sofitel Munich for our family vacation and it was one of the best hotels we have stayed in in a long time. The hotel was beautiful, clean, and had a very nice and professional staff. We had the privilege to meet and get to know the hotel manager named Umut. He was amazing! He was very friendly, helpful and my college boys really enjoyed chatting with him. Umut and the entire hotel staff made sure our stay was perfect and that we were happy. We all agreed that when we visit Munich again, we will definitely stay at the Sofitel Munich Hotel. It was great! Umut is the best hotel manager we have ever met and enjoyed getting to know him. 😊

This Sofitel is well located next door to a train station currently under construction. There are a number of restaurants and stores in the immediate vicinity, and is well positioned for Tram, bus and Taxi stations. The driveway is small and always crowded, and an outdoor smoking area is upwind from it, so you will get smoked as you enter or leave the hotel. One day we asked the doorman for a cab, but he told us to go across the street to the Taxi station. I guess I expected more from a better hotel. The lobby is nice, with a few decorative items. There is a restaurant to the right and a bar to the left. Both offer indoor and outdoor seating. The front desk personnel is polite, friendly and efficient. So is the staff at the restaurant and bar. There is a breakfast place to the back of the hotel on the ground floor. The breakfast buffet is very good, with plenty pf bakery choices, and egg station, cold cuts, cereals, and Asian section and plenty of fresh fruit. Floors are accessible by elevators controlled by your room key, an reassuring attempt at security. The rooms remined us of the W chain. Eclectic decor, uncomfortable lights all over, some of them without switches (!), and yet, insufficient lighting in the bathroom. There is no comfortable corner in the room, unless you want to sit or recline in the bed. Our "King-size" bed turned out to be two twins pushed together. Perhaps because of use, both slanted towards the outside. There was a large sliding window between the bedroom and the bathroom! Really? Do you really want to admire your companion while sitting on the toilet? Kinky! The sliding door to the bathroom could not be closed or locked. Strange. Also, because of these features, the room is always humid, since there is no air extractor over the shower. There is an awkward towel rod right in front of the bathroom sink, so it is hard to reach the sink, especially for a short person. There was minimal closet or drawer space, so presumably this room is intended for very short stays. The soaps were scented, a clear turn-off. The room is small, with little space, yet there is a large rocking chair in a corner, obstructing movement. While there is a coffee maker in the room, the choice of coffees is quite limited, with half being decaffeinated. We tried the restaurant one evening: the staff was nice and helpful, the food above average, but uninspiring. The best part of the hotel is the Front Desk and the breakfast area.
