Motel One München-Westend offers a stylish, budget-friendly retreat tucked away in Munich’s Schwanthalerhöhe district. Like all properties in this Munich-born chain, the hotel focuses on “affordable luxury,” blending high-quality design with functional, compact rooms. It features the signature One Lounge—a chic, open-plan space that serves as a lobby, breakfast area, and bar, perfect for unwinding after a long day of exploring.
The interior design is a highlight, reflecting Bavarian culture with contemporary flair. You’ll find high-end touches such as comfortable box-spring beds, Egyptian cotton linens, and designer lighting by brands like Artemide. The hotel is also designed with sustainability in mind, incorporating eco-friendly practices throughout, from organic breakfast ingredients to efficient energy management.
Its location is a major win for travellers. Situated near the Donnersbergerbrücke station, you have excellent public transport connections that can whisk you into the city centre or toward the airport in minutes. The famous Theresienwiese, home to the iconic Oktoberfest, is just a short walk away, making this a prime spot if you’re timing your visit for the festivities.
Beyond the immediate surroundings, you are well-positioned to visit cultural landmarks like the Lenbachhaus art gallery or the architectural wonders of the Old Town. With its mix of modern comfort, convenient transit links, and proximity to major sights, it serves as an excellent base for discovering the Bavarian capital without the hefty price tag of a central city-square hotel.
Expert reviews
“Smaller and hipper is Motel One, part of a new German micro-chain that tries to combine the capsule and boutique hotel concepts, making up for the smaller size with clever layouts and stylish design.”

Best sleep I had on the entire 10 day trip.
This room had by FAR the best mattress and pillows we experienced out of the 6 hotels we stayed at in the trip. That alone made it the best. On top on that, it is right next to a train stop which can take you anywhere in the city.

Dissappointing short stay
The staff was an absolute delight. Very helpful and communicative.
The breakfast was a good selection, tasty with vegan options and fresh bakery.
The facilities are old and not maintained properly. No signs of deep cleaning, only the superficial spaces or the facilities that you use directly.
The bed was very unconfortable, the mattress was worn out, the pillows were hard, the air conditioning was not working.
I could hear every single move of the neighbours, no sound proofing.
Very dissappointing in comparison with other Motel Ones chain.

very good hotel to stay in Munich
very good hotel, met all expectation, especially thanks for "dog friendly"
room is not big, but has everything you need. Good and modern bathroom, furniture.
tram station is about 2 mins walk.
City center is not close, about 30 minutes walk.
location is not very touristic, you need to use public transport to go around city.

If WiFi wouod work, I would recommend - it didn't...
Nice place at attractive price if you do not need WiFi.
WiFi did not work in the hotel room; WiFi is essential when you're on a business trip.
For this reason I will not return here.

I will always book this hotel when I go to München.
I liked everything, e.g. the kindness and pro of the staff, design and clearness of the public parts of the hotel and the rooms. There was freshness in the air, not the tipical hotel "smell". When I arrived from some program I was thirsty so bad and in the bar there was a free lime-menta limonade, and when I asked some very cold drink the lady offered me a big portion of ice to my glass. If there was a tea in the rooms it could be a 4* hotel easily.

Hotel was nice but front desk staff were terrible.
Comfortable bed and good shower. Had AC but never got cool enough for me due to the high temperatures.
The staff were the most unfriendly and unwelcoming we have encountered. They never greeted us, would not help with a taxi, explain the amenities of the hotel and basically acted like the hotel guests were in the way. We asked for assistance getting food late night after an event and they were not helpful at all. They were downright rude. Our first time visiting Munich and the staff at Motel One Westend gave us the worst impression of the city. Cold and unwelcoming. Hotel facilities were good. Front desk staff both at night and morning were awful. Won’t be back.

A neat hotel close to DEMM
The hotel's proximity to the nearby music festival was a key factor in my decision to stay there. The staff provided exceptional service, ensuring a smooth check-in process. While the room offered comfortable accommodations for a single guest, it may have limited space for two occupants. Overall, the room met my needs perfectly, offering cleanliness and comfort.
Due to a self-closing door mechanism, the bathroom lacked adequate ventilation with the inoperable or underpowered air purifier. This resulted in a buildup of steam within the enclosed space.

This motel made us stay inside on our only night in Munchen. Really cozy
