Frommer's Recommended

Simplicity itself, this little boardinghouse spreads itself across a trio of floors in a turn-of-the-20th-century town house near the Siegestor (Victory Arch) landmark monument. (The arch was built in the mid-19th century as a monument to honor the Bavarian Army and was based on the architectural concept of Rome's Arch of Constantine.) The location is ideal for those who want to be in the university sector west of the fabled Englischer Garten and north of the Hofgarten. A hotel has operated at this location for half a century. Take the rickety elevator to the check-in area on the fourth floor. Bedrooms are filled with old-fashioned furnishings, although some are more modernized. Everything depends on your room assignment. Accommodations don't have bathrooms, but the corridor facilities are generally adequate, and you rarely have to wait in line while clad in your bathrobe. The most nostalgic bedrooms are on the top floor. These are small, intimate, and cozy rooms resting under beamed ceilings. You'll feel like you're in old Munich.
