Das Tulip Inn Muenchen Schwabing liegt ein wenig ausserhalb des Zentrums, auf direktem Weg zur Allianz Arena. Wir haben unsere Buchung über "Name your own Price" bei Priceline gebucht und so für 50 € ein wundervolles Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis erhalten. Da wir mit dem PKW unterwegs waren, hat uns die Lage auch nicht wirklich gestört. Dafür haben wir extrem saubere Zimmer (incl.kostenlosem Premiere-Film / Sport / Fussballpaket) enthalten. In Sachen Sauberkeit ist insbesondere das Badezimmer hervorzuheben. Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend und wir hatten den schnellsten Check-Inn seit langem (Kreditkarte wird nur benötigt, wenn man ausdrücklich Extras wünscht). Direkt neben dem Hotel befindet sich eine neue Einkaufspassage, in welcher man sich perfekt für die Weiterfahrt versorgen kann. Kurzum: Bei diesem tollen Preis-Leistungsverhältnis kommen wir gerne wieder.

This hotel lies a little north of the main centre of Munich, hence is cheaper than those in the centre. Transport to the nearest underground station takes 10-15 minutes if, for example, using the Marienplatz station which is right in the centre of Munich. If travelling via Lufthansa, there is an express bus that drops you off at Nordfriedhof just one stop away from Alte Heide (the nearest underground station to the hotel), and will pick you up there for the return to the airport. This is cheaper and faster than getting a train into town and then underground back out to the hotel Alte Heide (on the U6 line), is 10 minutes walk from the hotel. You can also use the U5 line and get off at Milbertshofen - a 25 minute walk from the hotel. In both cases though, you can take a number 50 bus a few stops to the hotel, to save a little time. The bedroom was fine, except that the single pillow issued was one of those that crushes to become wafer-thin, so we both asked for (and promptly received) an additional pillow. Room cleanliness was faultless. The breakfast was not suited to those who look forward to a "Full English" - the teas provided are fruit, camomile, etc - and the food is Germanic; cold meats, white sausage (local delicacy apparently), lots of bread and fruits. Those who eat more delicately will find a reasonable choice however, and there are two varieties of scrambled eggs, plus hot spicy sausage and burnt bacon for those needing something hot in the morning. Minus Points: * We had a room facing the front of the hotel and felt that, despite double glazing, the room was a little noisy (Bus route going in both directions outside). * The hotel itself was rather warm, in the bedroom and especially the dining room. * There are no tea/coffee making facilities in the bedroom, and the tv only has one English-language channel (CNN). * The bar was a little small and the football on the tv in the evening left little room for conversation. * Deposits were required for several things (e.g. locker keys, bathrobes, etc). Why? They know where I live! * Nothing much for children to do. * Lockers are available in the pool area (key at reception), but there only seemed to be a single changing room. Plus points: * Friendly staff. * The reception staff all speak English and one member of staff spoke 4 different languages. * The pool (depth 1.3-1.6m) in the celler was delightful. It can get a little crowded in the evening when families are likely to use it, but at 9-10am we had it to ourselves. * There is also a solarium and steam room (at additional cost) and all facilities were beautifully clean and tidy. In summary: A fairly-priced and clean hotel. Near to the underground, but some walking involved and not in the city centre. Front-facing room was noisy, and I'd ask for a room at the back next time. Not important to me, but little other than a pool to keep children/teenagers occupied. I would use again. Top Tips if staying here; 1. Get a Munich Underground map. 2. Use the Lufthansa airport bus if you can. 3. Don't miss the Vapiano (pizza/pasta) and Rathaus (under the Town Hall) restaurants, both in the centre of town.
