Hotel near airport in Munich

Does anyone have a recommendation for a hotel near the airport in Munich. We have an
early morning departure. There are 2 adults and 3 kids, so we will need two rooms.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

We stayed at the Mercure in Freising.

There is a bus you get at the train station just up the street which takes you directly to the Munich airport. Very convenient. They run every few minutes.

The hotel was modern and clean. We would stay there again.
Hope this helps.

There are a number of hotels. I have stayed at the Kastanienhof in Erding, right across from the S-Bahn station for trains into Munich. Very satisfactory hotel Also, I likje the Holiday Inn Express Airport. There is a shuttle from the airport. They charge for this EUR8 per night per room. The hotel is fairly new. It offers something all HIE shopuld offer here in the States, a decent bar with Munich beer and some snacks, plus a good breakfast buffet in the AM Room rates are reasonable, although rooms are not very large.

Another vote for Movenpick. We had a very nice room and a good dinner at the restaurant.

Hi,

We liked staying at the Park Hotel (Best Western) in Erding. Just down the street from the train station, a few minutes walk to the charming old town and less than 20 minutes from the airport.

The Kempinski is right at the airport, pricey however.

Only two hotels are at the airport.

The Kempinski right next to Terminal 2 - which means that you literally walk 2 minutes from hotel to check-in. As Cathinjoetown says, usually the most expensive option.

The Novotel is on the airport's premises, but not in true walking distance anymore. Though it would be the only other hotel so close to the terminals that no traffic problems would cause a problem.
BTW.. Munich airport taxis are required by by-laws to accept even the very short ride from the terminal to the Novotel, in case you don't want to wait for the shuttle bus.

ALL other airport hotels are somewhere in a 10-20 min driving distance.

The public bus line from Freising train station to MUC airport runs every 20 minutes, and needs also roughly 20 minutes to the airport.


If you take into consideration that off-airport hotel shuttles rarely depart the very same minute you want it, but go in certain intervals, there is not so much time or convenience gained compared with a Munich hotel located next to a suburban train line that serves the airport (every 20min).
Most locals would prefer one of the off-airport hotels for their cheap "sleep & fly" rates to save some money compared to the airport's steep parking fees. But not for convenience.

This hotel, for example, is quite new and located next door to the train station of the line 1 to the airport, in the residential district of Moosach.

Under regular circumstances most will probably want a more downtown location, but it's a good trade-off between having the option to spend the last day and night in Munich - and a quick trip to the airport next morning.

Finally: Munich airport usually handles the morning rush hour quite good. Depending on which airline you fly, and to where, you may need less time than you anticipate. Especially when you fly Star Alliance from Terminal 2.
Last week I did the walk from the airport's train station to the gate for a flight to DC at slow walking pace in 30 minutes -- via self-service boarding pass kiosk, manual baggage drop-off, security checkpoint, passport control, additional visa control point, additional checkpoint for flights to the US.

Did you mention the terminal you will be flying into and out of? If it's terminal 5, the Sheraton is 5 minutes by bus to get there. However it is 20 by bus to return to T5. We had an 8am flight and it was pretty easy for us to board the bus at 5:30am and arrive at the airport by 6am. Having the boarding pass, printed at the hotel, is imperative.
