“Friendly, good-value accommodation near Eichenried golf course”
The Wi‑Fi was very good, though the correct password wasn’t the one in the room but the one pinned to the top of the stairs; the bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of space for hanging and storing clothes, with hooks for coats. A table with two chairs, two bedside tables, lights, a separate bathroom room, and a very good shower were all present. Near the stairs, a fridge sold reasonably priced drinks on an honour‑system basis, and we managed to put some milk in it because there is no fridge in the room. The owner kindly let us bring our travel kettle, as there is no kettle in the room. The hotel sits next to the bus stop and across from a bakery, and it’s a 20‑minute walk to the Eichenried golf course. There is no air conditioning, but an excellent quiet fan, an openable window, and a glass door to a balcony for fresh air. Light‑blocking curtains were good, and the staff were very friendly. The hotel also has a restaurant that seemed very popular, though we didn’t try it. The TV only had about ten German channels, which was fine for us because we understand German, but it was a bit frustrating if you want other languages or channels. The location is somewhat remote, which is a bit problematic if you don’t have a car (but it’s fine if you do!). The 513 bus runs hourly and doesn’t run on Sundays. The location is ideal for the golf course, only a twenty‑minute walk away, but if you want to go elsewhere, like the centre of Munich, be aware that the public transport system is currently complicated and expensive. For stays longer than ours (four days), it might be worth buying a Deutschland ticket. You have to buy it for at least a calendar month, it costs only about 60 euros a month, and you can travel on all transport. During our short stay, even though we were very careful, we ended up spending about 40 euros each, which included getting to and from the airport, which needed five stripes each on a “Streifenkarte” (the cheapest way!), and being completely without transport on Sunday. There is no supermarket within easy walking distance, so knowing this, we bought a few items at the supermarket at the airport.
