North or South of the Bahnhof?

I will be staying in Munich for about 1 week and wonder if the North or South side of the Bahnhof is better to stay in.

I assume you are talking of München Hauptbahnhof.

Why limit yourself to being in the area around the station? Munich has an excellent network of underground and suburban trains as well as trams and buses, which serve every corner of the city; so if it%26#39;s public transport that is your main concern, don%26#39;t worry!

In all honesty, I wouldn%26#39;t recommend staying in the area of the Hauptbahnhof anyway. There are quite a few strip clubs and s*x-orientated businesses nearby. Why not search for something over towards the Marienplatz/Isartor area?

I would agree with LondonParisBerlin – sort of !

Because we travel Europe by train, our visits to Münich are usually only 4 or 5 night so we stay across the street south of the Hauptbahnhof at the Hotel Europäischer Hof [http://www.heh.de/e/default.htm] and make use of the excellent public transportation to quickly get around town. Our primary reason to not pick somewhere closer to Marienplatz has been cost and we have never had any problems with the area.

Could I just point out to you that you seem to make a common mistake in your English spelling of the German word %26#39;München%26#39;.

Munich is spelt WITHOUT an umlaut over the u. Thus, Münich is incorrect.

BTW, no offence intended. I just though you may genuinely not know.

We stayed in south hauptbahnhof area. Yes, there was a strip club/nudie bar on our street(Hotel Royal on Schillerstraße), but the area is safe. We walked from the hotel to the hbf several times during the night w/our little kids and did not feel unsafe any time. Anyway, stay where ever you get a good deal. The trip on the S-bahn to Marienplatz from the hbf takes only a couple minutes. We purchased the 3 day Munich card for the public transportation.

Are you looking at venere%26#39;s website for Munich?

Hi,

I would definetly recommend the MEININGER City Hostel, Landsbergerstrasse 20. 1 Stop from the main train station with the SBahn till Hackerbrucke.

You will find across the street the best (and cheapest)beer hall in Munich!
