Hotel Amba | Hotel in Augustenstraße, Bavaria

“I would describe this as a budget hotel, but having said that it suited our needs very well. The location of the hotel was excellent for us, being in reasonable walking distance to both the centre of the city and to the Oktoberfest site. Also the hotel was very close to the railway station and even closer to the Lufthansa Express coach service stop from the airport, which was only about 25 yards from the front door of the hotel. The Lufthansa Express was excellent, costing only 13.50 Euros per person. We got quotes from two taxis at the airport; one of which was 96 Euros (" More if we wanted to go on the meter") and 106 Euros for the second, both of which we declined Apparently taxis are more expensive during Oktoberfest, which this was. The breakfasts at the hotel looked good compared with what was available elsewhere. There was shower gel in the room, but unfortunately no coffee/tea making facilities. Our room was clean and a reasonable size for us (3 adults). Quite a good wardrobe and a safe. The shower was a bit temperamental, but was adequate.”

“If you want a good location then this place is ideal as it a minutes walk from the railway station. However there are much nicer hotels nearby. The front desk staff can barely speak to you never mind give a smile. The room is really basic and small, no tea or coffee, if you are over 5 10” tall you will have to place your knees against the bathroom door when sat on the toilet. The shower is poor and leaks everywhere. We received an e-mail from the hotel to say they hoped we enjoyed the complimentary tea and coffee! There wasn’t any! If your are the front of the hotel it is very noisy from the road, you can shut the window but the room is very warm with no fan and the grumpy male receptionist said they didn’t have any more fans. This place is fine if you are just looking at spending a few hours to sleep for Oktoberfest but it is very basic.”

“Hotel Amba is a brilliantly located hotel for Oktoberfest and central Munich. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the rooms are clean and comfortable. Due to it's location directly opposite Munich central station, it can be quite a noisy neighbourhood, but overall it was a good spot for my visit.”

“Could be an amazing place very nicely built. Just need some updates and some paint.”

“Hotel was clean and staff friendly but the hotel is dated. We were moved to another room as our first room was for 2 adults and 1 child and a baby cot but we had booked for 2 adults and 2 children so there was a panic while they tried to find us a room to accommodate what I had booked. It was resolved. I didn’t really look in the first room after seeing the cot we walked straight out, the second room was spacious but old, clean with fresh linen but decor was old, tired and damaged. We were only staying one night so it did but it wasn’t cheap for that one night, but compare to other hotels in a massive city and it was I suppose. ”

“Rooms appeared to be clean but checking closer there were tiny black spots all over the sheets so slept on top of the covers which were made of different material and did not have spots. Room was stuffy and hot, could only open the one window on tilt because of too easy walk in access from fire escape ladder and walkways, in sketchy railroad neighborhood, and loud at night. Also one of the 'clean' towels had what looked like bloodstains on it, and, the parking was expensive and very cramped even for small cars.”

“Great for station helpful staff room clean shower clean”

“Good basic hotel in convenient location. We had no issues apart from it being so hot, the fan in the room didn’t do much. Hotel needs air conditioning. Check out was 10.30am, but the cleaner came round 3 times before that to clean the room and we kept having to send away until we were ready to check out at 10.30.”

“We needed a cheap place to stay close to the station as a quick stop over between trains and this was good for this reason. The room and bedding were clean but there was a musty smell and no aircon or fan. We slept with the windows open and because of this is was very noisy until around 11pm and then from 5.30am when the street cleaners were out. Okay for a quick stop but would not have wanted to spend more than one night here.”

“Staff was lovely - rent cheap - very close to bahnhof.”
