Stayed for about a week, room was nice and cozy, clean and staff were welcoming.
A clean and simple hotel right next to the Central Train/Bus station. It's a good option if you're looking for a cheaper place that is within walking distance to most major sites and literally a block away from metro and tram lines.
We had a fantastic stay at Creatif Hotel Elephant! The rooms were very clean and comfortable and the location was excellent for walking into the old part of town.
The operators of the hotel were exceptionally helpful and provided great recommendations for places to go. The Augustiner Keller just down the street was a high point of the visit.
Fifth year in a row staying here and I’ve never been let down. Basic hotel but comfortable, warm, and the shower was excellent. And there’s a terrific coffee shop next door. Plan to stay here many more times.

The major pluses are it is near to Munich Center Station, Lufthansa Express Bus, shopping, eating places and city center. The room is clean, but mattress is soft.
The negatives are hotel does not have AC, have to open window, and streets below the room are busy and noisy until early morning hours.
Conclusion, will recommend because of its location and clean room
Fantastic hotel in Munich city centre.
Ideal location next to the Hauptbahnof main railway station.
Great value, very friendly staff and lovely breakfast.
Would highly recommend !
Was here for Oktoberfest and it was very fitting for two nights. Walkable to everything we needed and right by the train to return to the airport. Basic accommodations at an affordable price
Pretty good location. Right next to Munich HBF. No fans or AC though so we had trouble sleeping because the weather was consistently 31 to 32 degrees Celsius when we stayed.

Cheap and convenient
Close to the central station, cheap and simple. Just what I needed for a short break in a long trip.
Great location for train station. Reception staff helpful. Free tea / coffee machine in reception until 9pm.
Thought might be noisy with all taxis outside - but quiet overnight.
Stayed 2nd floor midweek .
4 mins to train station.
Plenty food outlets and bars nearby.
Location was great as we arrived to the bus station and left from the train station ( both a few blocks away from the hotel) . Also we rent a car and the pick up location was a block away.
The area was not the great but 15 mins from munich center . Good and clean rooms
The property was a very short walk to the train station which was so convenient and not too far to get to a lot of main attractions in Munich! The staff was amazing and when we checked in the person at the desk gave us so many wonderful suggestions of things to do in and around Munich! The building is older but the room was nice and clean and perfect for two people! We would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone visiting Munich!
Excellent budget hotel located by the Central Station with easy access to anywhere in Munich. Clean, comfortable, excellent staff. No frills but everything you could need and great value for the money. I’ve stayed here every year since pre-Covid and plan to stay many times again. And there’s a (relatively) new coffee shop under the hotel now that’s also highly recommended.
For a no-frills budget stay near the train station this hotel was fine. The bathroom was very clean. The furniture was worn but clean. The bedding was new and clean. My room smelled of something that might have been pest control; if so it worked because I had no uninvited guests. The hot water was HOT, so be careful.

Real good value for money. Locate very central. Simple but clean. My room was towards the street and the queue of caps was too loud to leave the window open at night. But then is was quiet to sleep well.
The staff were very friendly and approachable, however upon arrival we noticed the room did smell a little damp and were worried that there were no fire alarms in the room.
Also the room got very warm and a fan or air conditioning would have been greatly appreciated
I appreciated being able to have a modest, affordable lodging option so near the Munich Hbf. The rooms were spotless and not fancy but had absolutely everything necessary and even extras like water glasses, soap in the showers, a hair dryer and a generous supply of towels plus a drying rack. We did not use the television but one existed, as well as complimentary tea and coffee in a very well-decorated and appealing lounge/dining area downstairs. I loved the bright colors in use for the decor, it is very nice. When we arrived we were exhausted after something like 30 hours in transit. The staff were welcoming and friendly, and check-in was quick. The hot beverage was so appreciated as I was too tired to look for food; peppermint tea and sleep! The street location is a bit noisy with many taxis parking nearby but this is not the establishment's fault. Sleeping with windows closed or earplugs is an easy solution. A coffee shop also serving light breakfast items is literally twenty steps out the front door and many other places to eat are within easy walking distance. I would stay here again in a heartbeat if my path takes me to Munich again; this hotel is an absolute gem for anyone seeking comfort, cleanliness, and economy. Highly recommend!
The room was simple but it’s clean and neat. The reception staff has a positive and service-minded attitude, very helpful to the guest. The location is one of the reasons I book the hotel. It’s located close to the main central station. The only thing I hope that the hotel can improve is the protection from the noise outside. Seems like the room isn’t sound proof. We can hear all the sounds from outside very loud. It’s not the hotel’s fault if it’s noisy outside, especially during Oktoberfest week. But I hope the hotel can find a solution how to make all noises outside is less heard when we’re inside the building/room.
