There's a particular kind of property that travellers keep coming back to in Munich: Novotel München City, a four-star in Au-Haidhausen, fits that bill. Geographically speaking it's within an easy walk of the city centre, and the reasonable location rating in guest reviews backs that up. Inside, the rooms are well-appointed, and guests pick out reliable wi-fi 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. Front-of-house has been attentive without being overbearing, the kind of detail that doesn't show up in the photographs but ends up on the review pages. The numbers behind the reviews tell their own story, well over 7,100 reviews, scoring solid on balance. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Expect to pay something in the region of €119 a night, a premium entry on the board, especially when stacked against nearby alternatives. All told, Novotel München City reads as one of those Munich addresses worth lining up against the obvious choices before booking.
