Excited about spending 2 days in Munich at the end of August. Any ideas on nice places to stay near Marienplatz or other good areas? Price range around $100-$150.

Hello John! <BR> <BR>I was in Munich in April and stayed at the Advokat Hotel. It was a great hotel with lots of style located in a good part of the city near the Deutschesmuseum. The rates are great and within your budget. I am not sure but I don't think they have air conditioning, many hotels in Munich don't. I walked everywhere from the hotel. The websight address is; <BR> <BR>http://www.hotel-advokat.de <BR> <BR>There is another hotel I saw called the 'An Der Opera' which claims to have the best location in Munich. <BR> <BR>Check out my websight for some other stuff about Munich-- <BR> <BR>http://home.earthlink.net/~richardab/ <BR> <BR>If you have any other questions about hotels or neighborhoods, drop me Email!

Thank Richard. I checked out the Advokat Hotels website- Looks interesting.

Hi John, <BR> <BR>Here’s what I wrote about the hotel we stayed in while in Munich June 2000: <BR> <BR>HOTEL BLAUER BOCK, Sebastianplatz 9, 80331 München. Tel: 49 (89) 231780, Fax: 089 23178-200. 160DM w/breakfast. No credit cards accepted. We actually ended up paying 170DM per night for a room facing a backcourt area. The front faced a street where construction was going on during the day. Our room, #67, the smallest of all we have stayed in while in Germany, was fine for us. The room had the same amenities as the other hotels: bathroom with shower (and curtain), bed, a small table and 2 chairs, tv, and closet with plenty of space and hangers. We were glad to bring a couple of small soaps because this hotel provides one per every other day and they were small. This hotel is in a good location. It is in the Sebastianplatz, which is a 2-minute walk to the Viktualianmarkt (one of my favorite markets!). It is a 5-minute walk to the Mairenplatz, U/S Bahn and other sights are nearby. In the Sebastianplatz, there are a few restaurants/cafes. One great restaurant is Kyris, a Greek place; and attached to the hotel is a Philippine restaurant, Manila, where breakfast is served. Breakfast includes plain yogurt, breads, meats, cheese, coffee, tea, and orange juice, milk, fresh fruit, cereal, and soft-boiled eggs. Good hotel choice! <BR> <BR>For other information on our trip (journal, photos, restaurants, etc,) please see my travel page at http://www.luvtotravel.homestead.com/home.html <BR>
