I'll be back next year
the hotel is spotless. I have stayed there several times before and will stay there again in the future. The hotel is in a nice quiet neighborhood with several shops and bars/restaurants nearby. The train is barely a 10 minute walk. and maybe 15-20 minutes to get to the central station. If you don't want to stay in the city center with all the noise and hustle and bustle, this is the place to stay

Great family run hotel with good sized rooms. The breakfast choice was excellent. We came when the snow hot Germany big time. The snow ploughs were working all night to clear the roads in typical German efficiency. Good location if you need a hotel on the way back from south Germany to fly out of Munich airport the next day,

Happy, happy!
We were delighted with this hotel. It fitted our needs perfectly for a weekend stay in Munich. We were on a short family catch-up visit. The location was perfect. We happily availed of hospitality offerings and the small lounge facilities. The staff were extremely helpful and benefited from being a family run hotel. If we were to go back to Munich we would definitely book again. The sun shone as well - what more could you ask?!

Excellent and enjoyable hotel stay
We stayed for two nights in March of 2018 with our adult daughter. We found the hotel to be outstanding and are planning on staying there again on our next visit to this area. Our check in was smooth and the receptionist was very friendly and helpful. Our room was very clean and had plenty of room for the three adults staying there. We all remarked that the shower was one of the best parts of our stay as it had very good pressure. The beds were comfortable. We ate breakfast both mornings and found the food and the service to be excellent. We enjoyed the fruit, yogurt, meats, breads, and made-to-order eggs. When we needed assistance to find out how to take the train into Munich, the evening worker at the front desk gave us very detailed and helpful information about the tickets, schedule, and things to do and eat. Overall our stay was very enjoyable and we found it to be five stars across the board! Thank you.

Nice hotel
The rooms are clean and the staff is wonderful. Just a little smaller then I expected. There was enough room to walk around the bed but that was about it. My large travel bag barely had room to lay down and get into. Aside of this there is nothing I could see wrong. The hotel staff is wonderful and the rooms are clean and nice.

I would return to this hotel!
Very friendly staff. Got in early before checkin. Cleaning the room at the time, but they let us check in after it was cleaned! Very helpful. They gave us a map and told us how to get to the train station and what to see in Munich. Also, told us restaurants near by if we needed to eat. Also, there was a fan in our room and that made it more comfortable. I requested the top floor and a quiet room and both request were met. Definitely would return to this hotel!

Fantastic
So glad we choose to stay here. While a small bit out of the way, it was most conveniently located a short 6 minutes from the S bahn in Aubing. Everyone at the hotel was wonderful, helpful and most professional. There were three in our party and the setup of our room was very convenient. Breakfast was not included in the room fee but was so nice we opted to add it. Would definitely stay here again!

Comfortable bed, good breakfast, very clean, room made up everyday. Only issue is not having a double bed - 2 x twin beds but not a major problem. 5 min walk to S-bahn public transport straight into city centre. Overall excellent

Great Place to Stay
This is a very nice hotel. Feels like a family run place. Nice and homely feeling. Rooms were new and well kept, shower was very nice. Breakfast has good variety and very authentic local food. Reception staff were extremely helpful. Introduced two excellent places for dinner, which my family enjoyed very much. This is a place that I will surely return. Location was excellent although a short walk to train station. Its not too near the city centre, but in a nice neighbourhood with convenient travel to the centre.

Such a gem!
I was so pleased with this hotel. It is family owned and you can see the pride in it. It was just outside of Munich and we had to take a short train ride downtown. The walk to the train station took a few minutes. It was a quaint neighborhood with small shops and charming homes. Everyone that worked at the hotel was friendly and accomodating. I would stay there agaion and would recommend it to anyone traveling into Munich.

Wonderful hotel, ready to go back again!
We needed to book 3 days at a hotel during Oktoberfest and found the Hotel Gruenwald that was only about 20 minutes by train from the city center. The price was very good compared to other hotels during this time. We took the S-Bahn to the Aubing stop and found a sign right as we went down the steps of the train station. It was only about a 5-10 minute walk to hotel. We were checked in by Bernhard, the son of the owner, who was very helpful and gave us information on the local area as well as some pointers about attending Oktoberfest. Our room was on the top floor, on the street side so there was a little bit of traffic noise, but nothing loud later in the evening. We were given a mini-suite that had a bedroom and small sitting area with great Wi-Fi reception. Even though the building is 120 years old, the rooms are beautifully updated. The bathroom only had a shower (not tub) but it was fantastic. We also loved the heated towel rack. Our rate didn't include the breakfast buffet but we did eat there every morning because it was a reasonable rate and included many different options. You could also get eggs cooked to order. We also enjoyed a local restaurant, Zum Burenwirt, that had a mini Oktoberfest tent and food specials at very reasonable prices. We are already hoping that we can go back to Munich and stay there again.

Great Family Hotel
We had a wonderful experience at Hotel Gruenwald. The location was perfect for us since we had a rental car and they have 2 parking lots. You can walk to the S Bahn station around 10 minutes and take the subway to the city center in around 20 minutes. Aubing is a part of Munich however it is charming with some restaurants and bakeries. We had dinner there as well as coffee at the local bakery.

Nice quiet location.
Great hotel family owned and operated since the 1890's. It's in a small, quiet village just a 15 minute ride on the S-Bahn to central Munich. It was like returning to the countryside after a busy day in Munich. Our room was spacious. The breakfast was very good and the dining area was beautiful. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Should we return to Munich we would definitely stay there again.

This is our 2nd stay @ the Gruenwald. This time we had a single room, due to my error in booking. Much tighter room, however we managed. Everything else was just as great as the first time. EXCELLENT HOTEL.

What a great find!
Pulling into the parking lot, I was immediately impressed. The whole scene looked like a picture. So clean & well maintained. The interior was even better. The whole Hotel including our room looked like it had just been remodeled. In taking with Bernhard (5th generation operator) he said the upkeep is continuous. Even all the windows were spotless. Breakfast was awesome as well as the staff. You must stay here for the full effect. You won't be sorry. Deserves 4 stars.

They think of everything!
We really enjoyed our stay here at Hotel Gruenwald. It is an older building with a history of family service since 1896. The hotel is very well decorated in a traditional way, and our room was beautiful. We had a separate sitting area that was much appreciated at the end of the day. There is parking available if you happen to be driving. We were given very good directions on arrival as to where the local restaurants are located. We took the train into Munich, again with good directions to follow. There are no transfers if you are going to the city centre, so it is very easy. Tickets are available at the hotel. Coming back, when we got off the train, there was a sign directing us to the hotel and another once we were on the street pointing us in the right direction. Breakfast is available and there is a good variety of food available. We would highly recommend this hotel.

First Class Hotel
Hotel Gruenwald was just perfect. There were 3 adults sharing a room which may have proved uncomfortable but the room was very spacious and we managed just fine. Nice comfy beds and nice clean toilet/ shower room. Staff at hotel were just so very nice. Nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was well worth the extra money. The town itself was just so quaint and very German which added to our stay. It was easily accessible to Munich by train.Overall a wonderful hotel which I would really recommend.

Delightful hotel
The room was clean and spacious, the staff agreeable and helpful, and we we loved our time there. From city center, one takes the S4 train and gets off in Aubing. Signs at the Aubing station point out the direction for the hotel and it's a seven-minute walk through a pleasant neighborhood. Breakfast was delicious. We'd love to stay there again sometime in the future.

We spent the last few nights of our month long vacation here. It was quiet and restful as well as easy to jump back into the action (an easy drive or train ride to many special spots in Munich). The staff was helpful and friendly. Breakfast was good, and the room was comfortable. We would stay there again.
