Residence Inn by Marriott Munich Ostbahnhof

My family of five stayed at the Residence Inn Ostbahnhof for four nights in August 2021. The hotel is well-appointed and modern, but all guest-services are handled at a less-luxurious hotel nearby, which is an inconvenience. The area surrounding the Residence Inn is a huge construction zone and very unattractive. The Residence Inn Ostbahnhof oversells itself with pictures of spaces that are not actually open to guests and is not worth the price charged.

We (couple) stayed in a family room for 8 nights in August 2020. The room was spacious with kitchen and living areas in additional to the usual bedroom and bathroom. The decor was fresh, modern and pleasing and we felt very comfortable (desk, sofa, chair and bed were all great). The staff were welcoming and helpful and check in/out was quick and easy. There was a breakfast buffet included in our room rate, so we made use of this. There was a bit of everything - cold meats and cheeses, fruit and yoghurt, cereal, bread and pastries and a few hot items e.g. sausages/eggs/pancakes. The buffet items didn't change much, so it's worth trying different things on different days. I would strongly recommend the chocolate croissants! :-) At the moment, due to Covid19, you are required to wear a mask and use disposable gloves (provided) at the buffet. We also used the gym. It was quiet and had a few machines as well as other equipment. The residence is a 5 minute walk from Ostbahnhof where you have connections to S and U bahn and regional trains. Some buses also serve the station. There are currently building works taking place near the residence (seems to be an up and coming area), so the view is limited, however the noise was minimal and didn't affect our sleep. Round the corner from the residence, there are two supermarkets (Lidl, Rewe) and a chemist, which were very convenient. We enjoyed our stay and would consider this property again if we come back to Munich.
