Hello. I am trying to decide between two Munich hotels. Any info would be appreciated. The first one is Forum Hotel Munich Intercontinental. The second one is Renaissance Munich. They are the exact same price. Which one would be nicer? Better location? Thanks.

They both look like typical "business" type hotels just like you find here in the United States (Marriot, Hilton, etc.). If that is what you are looking for, either would be ok. They are both transit rides away from the Marienplatz, etc.

Personally, we prefer a more traditional German hotel rather than a large chain/business type hotel.

Curious

If you're considering the Renaissance, save a bunch of $$ by bidding Priceline for a 3*** in The Center/North area. According to the Biddingfortravel.com website, rooms have been going for $45-$50/nt plus tax and $5.95 service fee. They could substitute a different hotel, but it looks as if this is the one Priceline uses in Munich.

The Forum is situated close to the Rosenheimer Platz U-Bahn/S-Bahn station...and is connected by an undergound walkway through a shopping arcade to that station. The Munich City Hilton is at the other end (and closer to the station). Very very convenient for getting in and out of the center of things (about a five minute ride).

As you can see by the previous post these sorts of hotels are not "favored" by some who post here but that is irrelevant I think since what you look for in a hotel may not necessarily be "tradition."
I am sorry I am unable to comment on the Renaissance but I suspect others may be able to.

Definitely prefer Forum'S location. But Renaissance price through Priceline always seems to be great price.
