This is such a quaint hotel! I loved the vibe. My daughter and I stayed for 2 nights in April. We were very pleased with the location in that it is within 5 minutes to downtown Munich and right next to the train station. This location was a bit rough in some ways but the hotel was a hidden gem. We did love how comfortable the beds were and how there were no unwanted scents in the hotel. I am very sensitive to smells so was pleasantly surprised. The room was air conditioned which was a treat as it was warm outside. The negative to the hotel room was really the lack of bathroom space for toiletries. All in all a good experience. Would definitely stay again if given the opportunity!

We had a wonderful stay at Excelsior by Geisel. While our room had a bit of a funny smell when we first arrived, everything else about our experience more than made up for it. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and we slept really well. The service throughout our stay was excellent—friendly, attentive, and professional. Breakfast, though not included in our stay, was absolutely delicious and worth trying. The only other downside was the parking situation—the closest option is about two blocks away, which was a bit of an inconvenience, especially with luggage. Still, overall, we really enjoyed our time here and would happily stay again.

Good central location for access to the Old Town and train station. It is located, whereby depending on your room, you may look out onto a busy road with offices at eye level, but this did not seem to disrupt our stay too much. The bathroom is slightly outdated but does fit with the aesthetic of the room. You can hear some street noise but overall a very comfortable and pleasant stay for a few days. The breakfast is plentiful with lots of choice.

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.
