Hotel Alcron - Munich, Germany 

Hôtel OK, très bien situé
Posted: Sun, Nov 25 2007
Nous avons passé deux nuits dans cet hôtel. Notre chambre donnait sur la rue, mais nous n'avons pas eu de soucis de bruit car le rue est relativement calme, plutôt piétons et vélo que voiture. Les chambres en elles-mêmes ne sont pas très bien isolées du bruit, mais comme l'environnement est assez calme (attention, on n'est pas à la campgane quand même !) , ça va bien. Le lit est grand (2 petits lits accolés comme presque partout). La salle de bain faisait un peu vieillotte côté déco, comparée à la chambre, mais elle était assez grande. Il y avait aussi une vague odeur de cigarette. Le petit déjeuner est sous forme de buffet, le moins fourni que nous ayons eu lors de notre séjour en Allemagne, mais amplement suffisant (pain, charcuterie, fromage, confiture, jus de fruit..). Le gros point fort de l'hôtel est sa situation : vraiment hyper-centrale, à 2 pas de la Marienplatz. Il y a des tavernes munichoises aux alentours pour manger, bref, c'est très pratique. Nous avons aussi eu quelques soucis à nous faire comprendre à notre arrivée car la personne à l'accueil à ce moment-là semblait ne parler ni allemand, ni anglais (et encore moins français), et n'a pu nous renseigner sur le parking. L'hôtel a un accord avec un parking proche (15 euros / jour), et nous l'avons appris le lendemain, avec la personne qui parlait anglais. Ceci dit, nous sommes arrivés vers les 11h00 du matin, ce qui est un peu tôt pour l'accueil, et nous avons préféré commencer la visite de la ville, plutôt que revenir une heure plus tard pour des explications. Nous étions garés au parking de la Maximilanstrasse (20 euros / jour).

Keep looking...

Although it has a great location, we came away feeling as if we could have found something better. The staff is slightly friendly, and I am only giving them that because they were helpful in giving driving directions out of the city. The rooms are of good size, but feel quite dark and dismal at night due to poor lighting. The mattress springs were poking us all night and were quite uncomfortable. Another thing to put us off, the housekeeping left our room unlocked one day after cleaning. On the good side, breakfast was nice with good selection of meats, cheeses, cereals and breads. We had little street noise for being so centrally located. I know there are many places to stay in Munich, and I would recommend to keep looking. I will not be coming back here for my next trip.

Yikes

We did NOT have a good experience here. Our companions were first given a room where the shower door was broken, the toilet didn't flush and was leaking sewage onto the floor, and the heat wasn't working (in December!!). Thankfully our friends were switched to another room when they complained, but the hotel had no business giving ANYONE the original room. In both cases the mattresses were some of the most uncomfortable I've ever slept on and the bathrooms just did not feel clean. We didn't leave the hotel after the first night because we were told at check in that the price was 360 euro total for 2 rooms, 3 nights and that we would need to pay cash (different from our faxed quote, but we were thankful throughout our stay that we were only paying 60 euro a night considering the problems). At check out we were told that the rooms were 90 euro a night and the check in person had made an error. The hotel would not honor the 60 euro price that we were given at check in and initially would not even budge to give us some money off the bill, not even a small discount. We had to delay check out because we had to go find another ATM because we did not have enough extra cash at that moment to pay 180 more euro. Eventually we were given 20 total euros off the bill, but needless to say we were pretty upset by it all. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone that I know.
