Parkhotel Rothof

It was really good

Over priced and star rating is very misleading if not false. Noisy. Typical over ratted hotel for the Munic area.

We checked-in on a hot day in Munich. The hotel does not have AC and we were given a room on the third floor - it was uncomfortable and the Wi-fi did not work on this floor. The staff were very helpful and switched us to a lower floor the next day. The weather cooled and rest of our stay was very comfortable. The train station is about 1/4 mile and takes about 10-15 minutes to get to Munich city center. The restaurant at the hotel is nice. Our kids used the tennis courts during our stay.

3 main points - 1. Our son and his family live in Munich so, over the past few years, we have stayed at the Rothof around 5 times but they do seem to be aware of this. I am surprised as good hotels should acknowledge the return of good clients. 2. The hotel's restaurant was crammed for breakfast, with a queue outside, waiting for empty tables. Clients were having to share with other residents and it brought embarrassing communication problems on all sides. This is more usual for a B&B and not for an hotel which has considerably cheaper and quite local competitors. I recognise that it may be a high season problem, but they need to consider "glassing in" their seated patio area adjacent to the restaurant 3. There is no AC, and no fans in our room which made the hot weather (30+ degrees) quite difficult. We should not have to ask if fans are available. There is no compelling reason for us to continue to use the Rothof, especially as it is not convenient for the Airport train. Our daughter, her husband and our grandchild travelled to Munich with us and stayed at a new and much cheaper hotel quite close to the Rothof, but with easy access to the train. They have recommended it to us and we will consider using it, or a competitor, on our next visit.

Perfect hotel for a city break. Rooms clean and spacious. Breakfast excellent good variety of hot and cold food. Staff very friendly and helpful. Short walk to the u-bahn.
