The rooms at Meininger City Hostel
Our room consisted of 2 sets of bunks (thankfully the girls claimed the top bunks without much argument from Mark and me), a toilet and a shower. There was even enough space to fit in a little table which within seconds was claimed by our youngest for some much-needed colouring time!
Our 11-year-old appreciated the fact that they had hair dryers in the bathroom, something you don’t see had not seen at big hotels. Towels were provided and we were able to pick them up at the front desk.
The view from our room overlooking a snowy Munich
Our arrival in Munich just happened to coincide with the first snow of the season. So at the least, it was pretty fresh in Munich temperature-wise. As the snow was falling outside our accommodation in Munich city centre we were nice and warm in our room with its central heating. Our room had a heater for whatever temperature you would like it to be set at.

The one thing you want after travelling to a destination is for the staff at your family hotel in Munich to be friendly. The front desk staff at Meininger Hotel München City centre were very helpful, friendly and welcoming
Checking in with 2 kids and 80kg of luggage can be a nightmare but it all went really smoothly. The reception was able to give you tips, sell tickets for transport and tours around Munich, you could also post a postcard home for your mum from the reception desk!
The reception was full of vacation ideas, giving us tips on buying a group ticket to the airport instead of an individual ticket which saved us nearly 20 euros. What I really liked was that they had 2 recommended activities that were on in Munich each day. One activity during the day and one at night. This was excellent for families and singles alike. The day activity was an activity like ice skating at Karlsplatz and the night activity was a cocktail party.
