Courtyard by Marriott Munich City Center sits in Ludwigsvorstadt, one of those discreet four-star additions that travellers tend to bookmark before the rest of the city catches on. The reasonable location score reflects what guests actually feel on arrival, within an easy walk of the city centre, with the kind of rhythm a city traveller tends to want. Inside, the rooms are well-appointed, and guests pick out reliable wi-fi, on-site parking and an in-house restaurant as the small things that add up over a stay. It feels lived-in rather than staged, which tends to be the difference between a stay you remember and one you don't. The numbers behind the reviews tell their own story, well over 2,300 reviews, scoring solid on balance. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Recent rates have been hovering around €95 a night, which lands as a middle-of-the-road option for the city. Stack Courtyard by Marriott Munich City Center against the better-known names in Munich and the trade-offs become genuinely interesting.
