  Highly recommend

  29 May 2026

  My wife and I enjoyed staying at this hotel very much as the accommodations were excellent as well as the spa and food. (breakfast was amazing). The hotels location is in a beautiful quiet spot next to the gardens/park but if someone was looking to stay closer to the action, its a ~10 min walk into the city center. But for us, it was a great combination of a beautiful setting, with just a short walk to the main attractions. The Charles Hotel Management, Other at The Charles Hotel, responded to this review Dear Destination589139,Thank you very much for your wonderful review and recommendation.We are delighted to learn that you and your wife enjoyed your stay with us and appreciated our accommodations, spa facilities, and culinary offerings.

Many of our guests value this balance of tranquility and convenience, and we are glad it enhanced your experience as well.Thank you again for your kind feedback. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable stay.Warm regards,Ulrich Schwer General ManagerThe Charles Hotel, Munich

  The perfect stay for business or leisure.

  20 May 2026

  This is a stunning hotel within just a few minutes walk of the Old Town. I stayed in a Park View suite on the 6th floor and was able to see the alps in the distance whilst enjoying breakfast in bed.We had dinner in Florio where we ate the most delicious Italian food and the famous chef; Fulvio Pierangelini, came to ensure everything was perfect - it was!We had our meetings in Salon 1, which had huge windows and access to a garden terrace, which made the sessions far more enjoyable and engaging.I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for an exquisite stay in Munich, it is perfect.

  The best hotel in Munich. Full stop.

  04 May 2026

  We travel a lot as a family. We know the difference between a hotel that looks good on paper and one that actually delivers. The Charles delivers. Every single part of it.We recently spent two nights at the Charles, and not one moment felt ordinary. Leaving was hard and we wished we'd had more time.It was my first stay, and it was an intergenerational trip. My father, my son, and myself. It had to be special. My father insisted we stay here. He'd already been several times, and now I understand why.From the moment we stepped out of the car, Lena and her team were there to greet us and make us feel like we'd arrived home. There is no better way to start a hotel stay.The entire concierge team set the tone from the moment we arrived. Warm, professional, and genuinely attentive without being overbearing. Not in a showy way. Just quietly brilliant at their jobs and utterly genuine in their hospitality. Always one step ahead of any request. That kind of service is rarer than it should be.The rooms are magnificent. Fourth floor, incredible view over the gardens towards the old city. Spacious, beautifully appointed, and the kind of space where you actually want to spend time. We were limited on time and had a lot to see, otherwise I would have happily just stayed in the room. That honestly says everything.Breakfast is outstanding. A phenomenal variety of fresh, local food and wait staff who are attentive and genuinely lovely. Not performatively lovely. Actually lovely. We lingered far longer than planned and ate far more than we should have.Post-dinner drinks at the bar turned into one of the highlights of the trip. Bayern Munich was on, we settled in, and what started as a quiet drink turned into one of those unexpectedly brilliant nights that will form a core memory for our family. Great atmosphere. Great drinks. The bar staff knew exactly when to engage and when to leave us to it.The spa deserves its own mention. Beyond exceptional and one of the genuine standout features of the hotel. If you're staying here and skipping it, you are simply missing out.As for the neighbourhood, I just want to live there. Truly perfect. Close enough to the old city to feel connected to Munich, far enough to avoid being swallowed by it. That balance is hard to get right. The Charles gets it exactly right.Is it the best hotel in Munich? Undoubtedly. Is it one of the best hotels in the world? Again, undoubtedly. I have stayed at some of the finest hotels in the world in some remarkable locations. The Charles is easily in my top five. The Charles Hotel Management, Other at The Charles Hotel, responded to this review Dear ronf267,Thank you very much for taking the time to share such an exceptionally thoughtful and generous review of your recent stay with us at The Charles Hotel.It is truly rewarding to read about your experience as a family across generations, and to hear how meaningfully your time with us was spent. Knowing that your stay became a memorable part of your journey together – from arrival with Lena and the team, to your evenings at the bar, breakfast, and your time in the spa – is exactly what we hope to create for our guests.Your kind recognition of our colleagues, particularly the concierge team, means a great deal. We are fortunate to have individuals who take genuine pride in anticipating guest needs with quiet attentiveness, and I will make sure your words are shared with them personally.It is also wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the room, the atmosphere, and the surrounding neighbourhood so much, and that the hotel has become a place you would rank among your most memorable stays worldwide. This is deeply appreciated and very motivating for the entire team.Thank you again for your kind words and for choosing The Charles for such a special family occasion. We very much hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future – and to create many more “core memories” for you and your family.With sincere thanks and warm regards,Ulrich SchwerGeneral ManagerThe Charles Hotel Munich

  Exceeded expectations

  02 May 2026

  Our stay was top notch all around. They went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. It was our anniversary and they sent a bottle of wine and put rose petals around the room. Every request we had was professionally addressed. They even made us a large to go bag for breakfast as we left before the daily breakfast. We upgraded to a park view Junior suite and it was absolutely worth it! The view was amazing. The Irish bartender truly made our evenings memorable. The drinks were the best we ever had. He was incredibly personable and made us want to come back each night (which we did!). This stay was completely worth the expense. If you want a good place to feel truly cared for in Munich look no further.

  Refined and comfortable stay

  13 Apr 2026

  This is a good for anyone seeking a refined, comfortable stay in Munich. Location is a perfect balance between tranquility and accessibility. You’re just a short walk from Munich’s main train station, yet removed enough to enjoy a peaceful atmosphere. Rooms are spacious, well-maintained. Large windows offer lovely views of the park. Beds are comfy, bathrooms feel luxurious. Be careful with the street sign at the beginning of the street—it can be confusing. Because of it, some taxi drivers stop about 100 meters from the hotel entrance. The Charles Hotel Management, Other at The Charles Hotel, responded to this review Dear Mr. M,Thank you for choosing us on your recent stay and for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review.We are truly delighted to read that you enjoyed the refined comfort of your stay and it is wonderful to know that your room, with its spacious layout, park views, and comfortable furnishings, contributed positively to your overall experience.Thank you also for highlighting the point regarding the street signage. We understand how this can occasionally lead to some confusion for taxi drivers, and we are currently exploring ways to make arrival at the hotel as smooth and intuitive as possible for our guests. Your feedback is extremely valuable in helping us improve these details.We very much hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back again soon for another relaxing stay.Warm regards,Ulrich SchwerGeneral ManagerThe Charles Hotel, Munich
