🌟 Munich's High Value-for-Money Gem: A Perfect Base for Solo Backpackers!
Overall Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5 stars)
I stayed in Munich for three days (May 6th - May 9th), and as a solo traveler, I chose the A&O Hostel at Hackerbrücke. The overall experience far exceeded my expectations; it's definitely a 'hidden gem' for value in a high-cost city like Munich!
📍 Location & Transportation:
The hotel's location is extremely appealing. It's just a stone's throw away from the Hackerbrücke S-Bahn station, and from there, it's just one stop to Munich Central Station (Hauptbahnhof). Getting to city center attractions like Marienplatz also takes only a few minutes. If you enjoy a good city walk, strolling along Arnulfstraße is also quite pleasant.
🛏️ Room & Facilities (6-person dorm):
I booked a bed in a 6-person dorm.
Space and View: The room is about 18-19 square meters. Even with bunk beds, there's still enough space to move around once everyone's luggage is laid out. The best part is that the room offers a very nice city view and good natural light, which prevents it from feeling cramped.
Quietness: I must commend the hotel's front desk service! When I booked on Trip.com, I specifically requested to be 'away from the elevator.' True to their word, the front desk arranged for me to be in a room further down the corridor upon check-in. This is so important for a hostel, as it successfully avoided the noise of people coming and going in the middle of the night. I had a very good rest all three nights.
Cleanliness: The cleanliness of the rooms and shared bathrooms is considered above average for hostels in the same price range in Europe. Housekeeping cleans daily.
💰 Value for Money & Additional Services:
Price: For 3 nights, including taxes and various discounts, I only paid a total of 71.14 Euros! That works out to less than 24 Euros per night. In Munich, a city where every square inch counts, being able to rent a safe, clean, and conveniently located bed at this price is truly excellent value.
Dining Suggestions: My booking did not include meals. While the hotel offers a breakfast buffet, I'd recommend exploring the nearby train station or bakeries for more choices and more authentic local food.
💡 Tips for Other Travelers:
Remember to bring your own toiletries, towel, and slippers (due to European environmental policies, hostels usually don't provide these for free).
Valuables need to be locked in a locker; it's advisable to bring your own padlock.
If you're a light sleeper, remember to request 'away from the elevator' like I did when booking, or bring a pair of earplugs.
Summary:
If you're a solo traveler or student like me, with a limited budget and most of your time spent exploring the city, this A&O is definitely your top choice. The next time I come to Munich, I'll very likely choose to stay here again!
