Hotel Cocoon Sendlinger Tor, Munich
Hotel Cocoon Sendlinger Tor is a bright, playful retreat in the heart of Munich, having first opened its doors in 2008. It is well-known for its fun, unconventional interior design that moves away from traditional hotel aesthetics, focusing instead on a cozy, modern concept that makes guests feel like they are tucked away in a relaxing cocoon.
A standout feature of this property is its “chill-out” atmosphere. The hotel offers a charming garden terrace, providing a rare and peaceful green escape from the city’s urban bustle. Inside, you’ll find a welcoming bar area often highlighted by an open fireplace, which creates a perfect space to relax after a day of sightseeing. The rooms are compact and efficient, emphasizing smart design and clean, modern lines.
The location is exceptionally convenient for anyone looking to explore Munich. Situated just a short walk from both the Sendlinger Tor and Goetheplatz U-Bahn stations, it offers effortless access to the rest of the city. You are within easy reach of the iconic Marienplatz, the bustling Viktualienmarkt, and the historic atmosphere of the Altstadt.
Whether you are here for the famous Oktoberfest or simply to wander through the nearby botanical gardens, the hotel acts as an ideal, stylish base. With its friendly service and focus on creating a relaxed, informal experience, it has become a popular spot for travelers looking for a unique and central place to stay in the Bavarian capital.

Overall, it was a really comfortable stay in a great location. I'd definitely come back.
The rooms are tidy, spacious, and super clean. They’ve got everything you need for a really comfortable stay. The location was also perfect! Just a 10-minute walk to Munich’s old town, about 10 minutes to the U-Bahn or Tram, and close to lots of cute cafés, which made it even better.

Gorgeous place great rooms great breakfast.
The Property is gorgeous. I love that it has bar with the restaurant and incredible breakfast. The furnishing the paintings most of the staff were absolutely fantastic. They even have free water and fruit.
They don’t have any kind of Gym they’re a good 15 or 20 minutes walk from the centre and the very first person that was there on our night of arrival, although he was not rude at all he was very dead and had nothing to give one word monotone vocal answers

Great hotel, not so great staff
This hotel is very well located and is quite modern. A ton of their amenities are not like your average hotel which makes for a unique experience. The room was super comfortable and overall a good one.
The staff. The gentleman whom was there in the morning when I tried to do an early check in was very rude. I tried to ask again nicely if there was any chance to do early and he seem to get agitated and any little convenience seemed to be a bother to him. I understand if an early check in can’t be done as it is out of his hands but the service from him wasn’t great. Also a woman who seemed to run the breakfast was extremely rude when I asked if there would be more eggs coming out. She looked in disgust and just said no. Very rude. However the woman who checked me in after was more pleasant.

Wonderful birthday trip in Munich
Everything. Wonderful decor, friendly staff and great location. 5 minute walk to central sendlinger tor which is a popular area and 15 minute walk into town. Luggage storage handy when you have a late flight.
Only minor point was no kettle or options for tea/coffee in the room.

nice and friendly
a very beautiful and clean hotel and very nicely decorated, in a very quiet neighborhood, very friendly staff
I didn't like it because the room was cold, the air conditioning wasn't working well, I also didn't like it when upon our arrival at the hotel I had to check in alone.

Great location, clean, very pleasant hotel.
Staff at check in wasn’t very nice, at all. We had a loveyl server at the bar and a lovely man at the reception at check out, who was very helpful, but the check in was quite unpleasant.

The room was clean, comfortable and cozy, with all the amenities that we needed. The personnel was helpful and we had the opportunity to leave our backpack before the check in and after the check out in the luggage room. As for the location, the neighbourhood has a lot of coffeeshops and it is near the old town, at a walkable distance.

Breakfast was amazing! And coffee machine is great!
Bed is a bit too hard, it is almost impossible to sleep on the sides.

It's my own fault for not checking but there was no fridge in the room (i honestly just thought it was standard in hotels), apart from that everything was great

Best stay of my entire trip
It was the last nighy of my trip and when I reached this hotel got the best news of my trip taht m,y room has been upgraded. The room I got was fabulous with a bathtub in the middle of the room it was giving a spa like feel. I erased all my travel weariness in a min. Centrally located with chirstmas market in walkable distance. Also very close to U-Banh (metro) just 5-10 mins walk away.
Nothing worth to mention

Nice looking place but not so high quality
Nice lobby and atmosphere
We heard every talking and noise from next door and hallway. We asked to buy some snacks but they dont have anything to sell. Somebody from the staff opened our door while we were asleep - why not knock hard once or twice. And I hated the pillows and plankets!

Fantastic stay
Great location, nice lobby area and buffet breakfast. Rooms were clean, modern and even had a automatic light when getting out of bed at night. Corridors had a faint bird chirping sound which added to the ambience.
Woke up to a false fire alarm in the morning with little direction as to it being real or not.

Fabulous and great value for money
Great location with an easy flat walk into the main shopping : eating area. Our room was huge with a kitchenette and sitting area that we used the couch as a bed. Super quiet which was a welcome change from the other places we had stayed in the lead up. Having a washing machine was a huge bonus
A little bit of noise from guests above us with young children running back and forth and dragging chairs.

Home away from home

Nothing as such, but yes, a phone in the room would be ideal

Great location! Friendly staff, willing to help you! Available parking at the underground of the hotel, which was quite convenient! Spacious, modern and quiet room!
The first night the room a little bit cold due to the central hearing filter, but fortunately the next day a technician came and repaired it! The parking rate (24euros per day) is a bit expensive for the hotels' guests.

Perfect for a short city break
Beautifully decorated rooms though small are lovely to experience. The cafe in the top floor has an amazing view and is a great place to gather.
Ver minor but the beds were really hard and at times had to wait 3-5 mins for the lift.

Apart from the water and heating. Cocoon is a great hotel. Restaurant was great. The whole place had a great vibe. Would
Great location, very clean. Quirky rooms,
Cold water for 2 of the 3 days and heating did not work. (Contractors were working on hot water problem). The heating issue was separate and staff were a bit baffled, suggested moving rooms, we opted for extra blankets.

Me and my friend loved the Cocoon hotel in Sendliger Tor. The place was really warm, elegant and the staff was welcoming
The hotel was great. Cozy vibes and warm atmosphere and a staff very friendly!
23 November 2025
A little pricey (probably because of Oktoberfest) - would definitely stay at a Cocoon again!
The breakfast was wonderful. It is clean, beautiful, great location, and comfortable. I love the concept and your commitment to the environment. Everything was in great working order as well. Very unique!
It was a little cramped (especially the bathroom). The toilet stall could have been a little better. However, there was plenty of room for our stuff. Very well designed to ensure there are areas to store and hang items.

Perfect base for visiting Munich
Quiet and pleasant. Our room was not big but very well designed. The beds are firm and comfortable. The lobby serves as breakfast room, restaurant and bar, which makes it very lively and pleasant. The possibility to take a bottle of water from the bar was much appreciated and the principle of “cleaning on request” was clearly explained. We really do not understand why one of the reference tourist guides advises to avoid it.
Nothing!

Modern hotel to explore Munich
Modern design and comfortable space. 5 min walk to the metro.
Not a major issue but there was no cleaning of the room during my stay, I found out you had to notify them of this, but as the check in was virtual it would have been better to make this clearer.

Great vibes for Munich work or holiday.
Great location just across Sendlinger To station. Extraordinary vibes, in the rooms, lobby... Loved the various sitting areas. Sustainable approach. Will keep on coming…..
The bed was not the best one this time …
