Flemings Hotel Munchen-schwabing

The stay at Flemings Hotel was very pleasant. The staff were lovely and the rooms were clean. The location was good, right by the train station. We would recommend the hotel and would definitely stay again. Many thanks for us Ingibjörg Lúcia and family

I was expecting more and left disappointed with my stay. Particularly given the price, if I had seen the room beforehand, I wouldn't have booked it. My first impression was also somewhat confusing. Walking into a hotel with an unmanned reception desk and self-service kiosks felt strange. While I was ultimately assisted by staff, which I appreciated, the arrival experience still felt unusual and somewhat impersonal. I'm also surprised there weren't automatic doors at the entrance, which I thought were standard for hotels, given that you may be carrying heavy luggage. The room felt lacking in character and didn't reflect the ambiance portrayed in the online photos. The pillow selection form provided in the room was dirty on arrival. Having stayed in a number of hotels over the past few weeks, the absence of a mini fridge, modern air-conditioning system, pens and paper, a bin in the main room, and other amenities commonly found even in budget hotels was noticeable. While I appreciate the hotel's commitment to sustainability, the paper cup at the coffee station looked and felt cheap. Only a single milk portion was provided, and the kettle took around 15 minutes to heat up. Several lights and powerpoints in the room were not working, and the TV's streaming service was unavailable throughout my stay. In the bathroom, while I appreciated the MALIN+GOETZ amenities, it was disappointing that hair conditioner was not provided. The space itself was very small and cramped, with almost no shelf or storage space. The tissue box was nearly empty upon arrival, and the hairdryer was outdated and underpowered, performing more like a hand dryer. It also lacked a cool-air setting, which is a standard feature in modern hairdryers. The shower was one of the most frustrating aspects of the room. Water leaks into the bathroom unless the doors are closed immediately, yet when open, the doors take up much of the already limited space. The controls were unnecessarily complicated, with multiple handles that made the shower confusing to operate. Despite being quite small, I found the shower extremely cramped, made worse by the oversized fixtures protruding into the space. This was particularly uncomfortable because the exposed pipes become extremely hot. Given how little room there was to move, I repeatedly brushed against them while showering. For much less, I had a much more pleasant stay without the above issues during my previous stay in Munich. My stay was not value for money.

Not the worst hotel, but very far from the best. The positives are the staff, who are lovely and helpful, and the location is good - it's in a nice area and has easy transport links to the rest of the city. It's not the easiest to reach from the airport by public transport (takes around 1 hour at least). The room had a good TV that allowed streaming. Wifi was quite fast. The negatives: my room was very dark (had no proper lighting, only some dim lamps), the room was VERY dusty, the bathroom was dirty - the sink had not been cleaned, there were dirty marks on the wall near the toilet, and everything was very tired and shabby. The bed was clearly very old, the mattress was super soft and saggy in the middle, and the single pillow was small and thin. The sheets had been washed but were covered in small stains. Housekeeping is only every other day, which is fine, except that they don't seem to do anything...my toilet was not cleaned, the room was still super dusty, and the sheets on the bed were not changed. The person who was doing the housekeeping was also very rude to me on the day of checkout, knocking on my door several times asking me to leave (long before the checkout time). The air conditioning worked, but was very loud and you could see the dust blowing out of the vent. The hotel is not expensive, but even for a cheap hotel, you should expect a clean room with a comfortable bed.

Mixed bag. Location is good and gives easy (walking) access into town. Downside is being on a v busy road which means opening the bedroom window is not an option and unfortunately that's an issue because the rooms are so hot. Rooms maybe OK for single occupancy or a couple but wouldn't work for anyone else unless you want to see your room mate on the toilet or in the shower. The lack of privacy is laughable. Check in is done via computer with little / no human interaction. Reception staff are largely invisible. Timo from the bar was excellent value - great service, friendly and really made an effort. Felt like a budget hotel but at a non budget price.
