The Flushing Meadows Hotel, Munich

Fraunhoferstraße 32, 80469 München, Germany (show on map)

The Flushing Meadows Hotel is a cool, industrial-style retreat perched on the top two floors of a 1970s building in Munich’s vibrant Glockenbach district. Conceived by the architect-owner trio Arnold, Jäger, and Werner, the hotel leans into its industrial roots with exposed concrete ceilings, high windows, and raw, minimalist aesthetics that feel refreshingly authentic.

What makes the hotel truly stand out is its creative spirit. Eleven of its sixteen rooms were designed in collaboration with various “personalities” from the worlds of art, film, music, and design. Because of this, each room feels like a bespoke loft, ranging from surf-inspired motifs to musician-designed spaces complete with vinyl turntables and curated record collections.

The top floor houses five penthouses and the hotel bar, which has become a local hotspot. The bar features a sunny rooftop terrace that offers stunning views over the city’s southern skyline—a perfect place to unwind with an artisanal cocktail after a day of exploring.

The location is a major plus for travelers. Sitting just steps from the wild riverbanks of the Isar, it’s a short walk from cultural heavyweights like the Pinakothek der Moderne and the historic Marienplatz. Whether you’re heading out to browse the nearby farmers’ markets or simply biking along the river, the hotel serves as a stylish, unconventional base in the heart of the Bavarian capital.

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“Flushing Meadows nails the essentials: location, style and service, with great beds and better cocktails, reasonably priced. Opened in July 2014, the 16-room hotel occupies the top two floors of a four-story former post office in the central neighborhood of Glockenbach.”

Loved elements, but ultimately disappointing.

The location of this hotel is excellent 15 min walk from Marianplatz, with a great area to walk through to get there with lots of cafes, bars etc. - a really eclectic vibe. Also within easy walking distance of the Deutsches Museum. This 'could' be exceptional - and has a really good bar - each night there were private events on but we could get drinks but not stay in the bar ? Some rooms have private balcony's with great rooftop views.

The website photographs don't reflect the actual condition of the hotel - its tired at best - and there is a plan to regenerate I believe. No coffee making facilities in the room - access to a coffee machine in the bar - accessed via a roof passage not really adequate, and the small continental breakfast was served in the bar - both ok but not ideal. The room was small , and the bed could only be accessed from one side only. Bathroom needed a birthday. A real shame as this has potential to be a really good boutique hotel - but to do so needs upgrading & the hotel put in the vanguard of the business.

Not worth the money.

The property was in a great location.

There was dust balls in the corners and the shower did not drain properly. The rooftop bar was supposed to be open until 11 but they closed between 10-10:30 and were actually rude about it. We were refused service because the bartender had washed everything and was closing.

Location

The bar was booked out on both nights of our stay so we couldn’t use it. There was a wedding on one night that lasted until 2pm, plus another hour of staff moving stuff around - our room was directly underneath the bar, so a bad nights sleep. The breakfast is as basic as it’s possible to have.

No value for money. Room didnt look like on the pictures, Walls need a fresh paint. Hot water in the shower only worked half of the time. Had to go up to complain because no one did answer the phone.

Don’t go!! No hot water, dirty and unsafe

Location and friendly team to solve the mess of this ‚hotel‘

If you enjoy cold showers, dirty and broken rooms, and feeling unsafe, then this is the place for you. But if you expect even the basics — warm water, cleanliness, or a working safe — please stay far away. The room was disgusting, everything felt worn out and neglected, and it’s unbelievable that the owners don’t seem to care at all. It’s a real shame, because with a little effort this could be decent, but right now it’s just awful. Please don’t make the same mistake I did — do not book here!

Nice location, nice staff, but not as nice as marketed.

The hotel is well located and offers parking nearby. However, you must first go to the front desk on the 4th floor to get instructions before returning to retrieve your car. Unfortunately, there is no designated space to leave your car temporarily at the entrance, so if you’re traveling alone, the process becomes nearly impossible. The staff is nice and friendly.

The rooms are quite small and not as clean as they appear in the photos. The bathroom lacked several amenities you’d typically expect at this price point. Additionally, the café/bar is located right next to the rooms, making noise a significant issue both during the day and at night. We had to file a complaint due to a private party in the bar that lasted until 3 a.m., we did receive a small reimbursement, but the disruption was unacceptable.

Wonderful place stay in a great location.

We loved the concept of the hotel, small scale with a nice place to hang out in the morning and evening (the upstairs bar). Rooms were unique, well done and bed was super comfortable. The location was perfect, it was close enough to the more touristy center of town but in a great neighborhood that didn’t feel overrun with visitors. We can’t wait to come back!

Heating didn’t work so the room was very cold, we got downgraded with the room without previous notice (due to travelling with the dog), personel at the bar was very polite though the next day in trying to solve our dissapointment.

Pleasant but not convincing

The room we had was nice and had a nice terrace. The interior design chosen was appealing.

Most things were broken or about to break in this hotel. It didn't seem that the company operating this hotel cared much about details and to make the stay for the visitors as nice as possible.

Interesting and tasty.

The bar staff was cool, friendly and accommodating. The overall look and feel of the place was unique and the hotel is so well hidden you might as well feel like you're entering a speakeasy. Great cocktails.

Got the only single bed room in the hotel, was I not able to switch. Luckily I traded rooms with another party in my group. The room was located along the terrace bar and sold as a "loft" but I couldn't swing a cat in there and you had the noise that comes with a rooftop bar that's open until 1am. Wasn't looking for an early bedtime thank heavens, but that might rub some other people the wrong way.

Resort prices for roadside motel experience

The location is good, but doesn’t make up for how bad the hotel is.

Smelly elevator, I checked in with a rude bartender - because there is no front desk, the room wasn’t cleaned each day. I was charged resort prices for what felt like a roadside motel. Just awful experience.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating to my early check-in request. I enjoyed being close to Marienplatz and liked the ambiance of the area. Overall a great hotel experience.

The breakfast that was offered was a croissant and a coffee. This was to be expected. Originally finding the hotel was tricky because there was no obvious signage, but again only a minor fault to an overall good stay.

Very fun design aspect, cozy rooftop bar, good location, and a young vibe

The messaging was clear that breakfast would be croissants, coffee and juices, so expectations were properly set. The croissants were great!

There were no condiments in the rooms for the coffee - great coffee maker, but it would have been nice to have sugar, or even some cream packets.

- Good location - Nice room - Parking spot available

- Loud street - No staff to be seen anywhere for 2 days - Strange smell in hall and elevator - Building always accessible for everybody until 1AM because of the bar, there is no closed off section for the hotel rooms, everybody can easily walk up to your door, not so safe

10/10. The location was perfect – close to the city center with a great breakfast restaurant nearby. Even better, the hotel had a bar on the 4th floor with a balcony facing the street for smokers and a terrace with tables offering a fantastic view of the surroundings. The bar and terrace were so nice that I skipped a party to relax and enjoy the evening there. The room itself was pretty decent too. It had high ceilings with large windows, and the bathroom had a clean look with white tiles and copper accents (like the knobs, hangers, and faucet). An added bonus was the heated bathroom floor, which felt amazing every time I stepped in.

The pictures online didn't really capture how nice the hotel actually was. The rest of it, however, was absolutely great.

Overpriced, filthy hovel!

Location within walking distance of old town.

The smell of cooking fat in the corridors was disgusting. The whole hotel is worn, dated, dark and filthy. The pictures used to advertise the hotel are completely misleading and give a false image. The whole place is run down and hasn’t been dusted for ages. Do not stay here!

Pleasant

Room was very nice and clean, but it's really more a bar than a hotel. If you only need a nice room to sleep and don't care about the service, it's totally fine.

Noone was there in the morning at 8AM to help me with a question or provide breakfast/coffee and so had to leave at 08:15 without coffee. Elevator smells of beer.

The place to be in Munich

I was traveling with my brother and we enjoyed our stay very much. The location of the hotel is ideal, next to the river and only a refreshing 20 minutes walk from the central station. We got a free upgrade to a fabulous room and even a delicious welcome drink was included. The whole atmosphere was very welcoming and the staff very informal, super friendly and laid back. I will be back at TFMH in a few weeks and can’t wait to spend more nights there.

A small breakfast was induced in the prize but since we got up at 7.30 already we couldn’t find any staff. Since our stay was so splendid we didn’t mind too much this small lack of service or communication.

Quirky little boutique located in the heart of Munich

Beautifully located and fun little boutique hotel walking distance from the most exciting part of Munich. Room was quirky and clean, staff was friendly and communicative. Loved the online check in option

Not a criticism of the hotel but something to be aware of as a guest - the room we stayed in had the bed located in a mezzanine reachable by a pretty steep, slightly wobbly ladder. If you are afraid of heights or injured make sure to let the hotel know and I'm sure they can help make better arrangements (there are other room options available!)

Excellent, we're staying here next time we're in Munich for sure!

I loved the bustle of being right in this great neighbourhood, the rooms are under the rooftop bar, but you don't hear a thing and the parking is right behind the hotel, which was great. We had lots of stuff in the car which we didn't want to take up to the room, but everything was secure in the parking lot.

We loved this hotel because it is different to mainstream hotels and has a very cool vibe.

The hotel is in a good location, close to the city centre and transport. The cosy rooftop bar is fabulous and serves great drinks. We loved the breakfast of fresh croissants, coffee and juice, which is included in the room price.

The pillows weren’t great and the room didn’t have a bar fridge. In our room there was a connecting door to another room, which was unlocked and the people next door walked into our room! However the hotel staff quickly locked the door for us.

Nice clean room in a good location. Good value for the money.

The entrance is very hard to see from the street and the check in was a little confusing. Also, when I left around 7:00am there wasn’t anyone available to checkout. I had to just leave my keys and garage key fob at the entrance of the upstairs bar area where I checked in.
