Run by its owner, the hotel has the feel of a family house and the service of a good address. The rooms are quiet and comfortable and can be taken as singles, doubles or triples; one of them is a family room.

The hotel stands in the historic old town of Munich, where the Sendlinger Strasse pedestrian zone begins. Sendlinger Tor underground station is two minutes away and the centre is yours on foot: a traffic-free quarter full of shops, Marienplatz, and art, culture and dining of a standard few cities can match. The Bavarian Alps are an easy drive or train ride away, as are the royal castles, the abbeys of Ettal and Andechs, and the lakes around the city, Lake Starnberg among them.
