Very convenient location and very clean room. I am not sure what was meant in the letter from Amba Hotel to me about coffee, because there was no possibility to have coffee in the room or in the hotel lobby -- I would have welcomes such a possbility.

Ideal location during snowstorm
We arrived when train, tram,and flight services had all been cancelled due to snowstorm. Our booking for 2 double rooms ended up as 1twin +1 single with extra made up couch. The rooms were small but clean but a better option than going to shelter on parked trains at the hbf. The location for Amba is right across from the station which made crossing snow and ice covered roads easier. We had stayed here several times in previous years but it is now time for it to be modernised.

A nice, clean budget hotel across the road from the main railway station. The room, although a bit small, was clean. The bedding & towels were changed every day. The hotel was perfect for our needs, we usually left the hotel at 9.30am & didn't return until 10pm, so we didn't require any frills. Would definitely stay there agin.

Property is convenient to the central train station, however, there several people sleeping on the streets and lots of drinking and noise up and down the street. On Friday night, there was a group of very drunk men singing in the lobby. We could smell them from the floor above. The property is in desperate need of updating. It is dingy and run down. It’s an okay place if you need just a night and are hopping a train the next day. Unfortunate, we got stuck in Munich’s largest December snowstorm in over 30 years and had to stay multiple nights. The staff was very friendly and helpful though. They helped me when our converters and USBs were lost with our bags.

Great value and location. Good breakfast
Nice location, good value for the price. I’m mostly concerned about the cleanliness and quiet at night. I was surprised how quiet this place was since it’s so close to the central train station. That made it super convenient for my transportation needs while I was in Munich. Breakfast was about what I expected. Really pretty decent food and good selection. Outside was a little sketchy but nothing that felt unsafe.

This property was the great value of money by the november, it's very central, walkable to the most sightseeing, just next to the central station which is even more comfortable, u can plan any journey there, buses to the Airport starts from few meters away from this hotel. Hotel clean service comes every day even if it's no need. So they provide everything for clean atmosphere. Reception is quite helpful. So, shower is really tiny, but for few days and for given price it was still very okay. Overall it was quite good, thanks.

We stayed here several years ago and we’re quite comfortable. I guess Covid and two trains not running from the airport have hurt this hotel. We asked for a quad for space because our daughter was with us. It was basically four single beds crammed in one room with minimum covers. The bathroom looked dirty and the shower was tiny. Paint was peeling off the trim everywhere and it looked unkept. My daughter and I actually found another room in a different hotel close by. That is how much we felt uncomfortable there.

Staff were wonderful and friendly. The room was clean and bright. It was on the smaller side but if you don’t plan on spending a full day in the room it is more than adequate. Right beside the centre so it is great for walking to anywhere

This was the most expensive hotel we stayed at throughout our time in Europe and it was the biggest disappointment. The room was unclean, the area around hotel is dirty and unsafe. We could hardly walk around in our room, and they changed our bed with sheets that were STAINED. Very displeased. Also, no cafés near this hotel so you’ll have to search hard for food. Don’t recommend at all.

Hard Pass on this property: hot, noisy, dirty. Pro: location. I would definitely not recommend unless the price is MUCH less expensive than surrounding properties and you are backpacking. Family of 4, in town for Oktoberfest. 495€/night. Room cramped, dirty, & LOUD. (no A/C, windows open, tons of street noise & construction.) We were on the 6th floor so I was surprised that the noise felt like it was in our room. The initial reviews I saw on Expedia looked passable, but then I saw photos of other reviews & bugs. In person it was awful. Immediately on seeing our room, I asked Expedia if we could cancel the second night and transfer. They must've called the hotel because the manager came to our door irate. Despite the huffing, she did however move us to a nicer room on the 3rd floor. That is why I am giving it 3 Stars and not 2 Stars. The second room was quieter (not my any means quiet), cleaner, & bathroom was bigger- First room, the bathroom was hard to even turn around in it was so small (stand-up shower and a toilet only). Sink and mirror were outside immediately when you walked into the room. The elevator was small and long wait times, we just took the strs. 6 flights of stairs in the summer at this hotel would be intolerable in my opinion. Irons are prohibited from the room, After several calls I was allowed special permission to use the one in the basement. It was uncomfortable. If this was cheaper & during my backpack party days it would've been less rough.

Quadruple room was advertised but they just gave a single room with four beds. Had to jump over things to get to things, no space to walk or no floors because of how they crammed the beds in The only thing going for it is the central location, but if you know how to navigate the trains and trams, you dont need that.
