Hotel Atlanta

I stayed in this nice and cosy private hotel during 5 days. I like it because of its location, just in the Munich city centre, clean and tidy room; Internet access is wireless and free (with speed up to 700 kB/s). The service at the receptions desk was always rather welcome. Breakfast is not big but good enough. It’s not easy to park your car though, however, if you are lucky, in front of the hotel it is free for the whole night. A lot of beautiful shops are just scattered around here, just a few steps away..

The Location of this hotel is excellent being close to the Sendlinger-Tor U-bahn and tram stop, which offers great connectivity to most of central Munich and a very convenient direct line to the Schloss Nymphenburg. For the price of this hotel, whilst basic in amenities you won't be able to beat the location. However... The checkin experience was a disaster. A few days prior to arriving at the hotel, I informed the staff that we were likely to arrive late, at around 22:30. They informed me that the front desk closes at 22:00 and so they would leave our keys in one of the external keysafes and gave me the code. Our flight was delayed and so we arrived later than expected, at about 23:00. Upon arriving at the hotel, the designated keysafe was completely empty. There was no response to the doorbell and our phone calls went unanswered. As you can imagine, being stranded in a foreign city at such a late hour was extremely distressing. We finally found another hotel with a 24 hour reception that had room available for roughly 50% more than the Atlanta room rate. Nonetheless, we were very grateful of a place to stay. If you are likely to arrive at the hotel anywhere near 22h (e.g. if you flight lands after 20:30) then do not stay here. Be aware also that any flight delays could put you in this region and I would not trust the staff to not leave you in the lurch. The staff were apologetic when we arrived the next day and discounted us the night we did not stay, but otherwise offered no other compensation. The other downside is the shared bathroom. Whilst I have no issues sharing a bathroom with other guests at this room rate, the bathroom in question was a walk across a hallway and 3 doors. This was further than I was expecting and is inconvenient at night time.
