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.

Great stay and location in Munich
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.

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.

Excellent basic hotel near the Central Station.
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.

Bare basic hotel with excellent location

Minutes from Haupbanhof that has long distance trains, S and U bahns, trams, and buses. 20 min walk from Marienplatz.
Booked a room for 3. Very small room not enough space if all 3 had luggages. We were only provided 2 sets of towels. Room was quite warm with no AC. Not quite sound proof and unfortunately the street it is on is where the taxis park and you can hear the conversations all night long.
Coffee and tea provided. Reception till 10pm ish? Room was straightened daily, as in they straightened our beddings and provided new towels.
Would book for convenience only.

Basic hotel near the train station and was next door to where I dropped off my rental car. So was an ideal location for one night. The front staff was helpful. My room though on the street was quiet and clean. The area can be busy with the over flow of taxis waiting for the train station.

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.

Staff at this property were all lovely but the age is showing in the rooms. The shower was really small and the hot water pressure was terrible. Location is perfect for exploring Munich (super close to the Bahn and walking distance to the city centre) so if you are just looking for a place to crash at the end of a long day exploring it will be fine.
The area around it is quite dingy and there is lots of homelessness in the area- it was fine in summer with the long days but I wouldn't want to walk around the area in the dark.
Overall I wouldn't stay here again but it is cheap and convenient.

Staff was nice, rooms were clean, only thing we had a problem with was the strange water pressure/shower head and the tv. It only had a few channels and all were in German. We understand they translate everything but we would have liked to watch at least one show before bed and understand something. Internet worked great, and the hotel is super conveniently located.
