Munich Hotel review: Arthotel Munich
Nearer to 250 m from station than 200 m but apart from that it was great!!
Huge room with tonnes of space for 4 and massive well equipped and very clean bathroom.
Most excellent breakfast included in the price - the best breakfast experienced in 5 weeks of travelling!
Internet in lobbey was adequate but they need to throw the kids off.
Helpful staff at reception.
Vienna Hostel review: MEININGER Hotel Vienna City Center
Really good hostel, can recommend it thoroughly.
And nice facilities for cooking (which we didn't use) and doing a load of washing and drying (which we did use)!!
Very helpful staff.
Nice area to "chill" and reasonably priced beers & soft drinks.
Yes stay there!!! A little way from main station but easily found and very close to the final "metro" tration. Good places to eat in the immediate location too.
