Reviews Summary
This summary was created by AI, based on recent reviews.
Powered by AI
The Sofitel Munich Bayerpost is lauded for its luxurious amenities, such as the spa and sound system, and its conveniently central location near the main railway station and Marienplatz. While the rooms offer comfort and luxury, families might find the layouts awkward, and some guests have noted cleanliness could be improved. Although the atmosphere is sophisticated and inviting, critiques often point to the hotel's high prices and additional charges as not reflecting the expected value. Service is generally well-regarded, with staff praised for their professionalism, despite occasional lapses in efficiency.

The hotel oozes class. The rooms are superb - spacious and very well-appointed, with all amenities. The location is fantastic, located just beside Munich Central Station. The staff members are warm and helpful. The old city is a 15 minute walk away. All in all, an excellent option for a stay in the city.

Hotel's Favorite
I came here with my partner for the weekend, and we were very impressed with our stay. The hotel is in a great location being a few minutes from the tram and the main railway station. Once inside the hotel we found the check in a little slow and some of your colleagues not very welcoming as others. We then made our way to the lifts and our bedroom and as we walked a porter walked past us and took the lift, he did not stop and went into the lift without checking to see if anyone else wanted to use the lift and we found this a little rude as this happened on more than one occasion and there was plenty of room for us all to fit in the lift. Our bedroom was clean, airy and had all we wanted and needed such as a big bed, a bathtub, a toilet, and an excellent shower which had a rain shower as well as a traditional shower both with good hot water, and the complimentary toiletries were amazing and smelt fresh and yet we could hear people in the corridor and in bedrooms around ours including at bedtime. As for the TV this was OK but we both think if someone could print out a list of the channels people can choose to watch might help as to searching through over 200 channels can be frustrating and time consuming as there were many channels from different parts of the world. Turning to breakfast this was simply fantastic as the majority of your colleagues were very attentive, kept busy and there was plenty of choice including for vegans. Whilst my partner and I are not vegan we have a friend who is and know much having a choice of vegan food is essential. Similarly we would like to give a shout out to your colleague Natalie as she was very friendly, spoke good English and made us feel more than welcome and some of the other people including the two women who took names and confirmed who could have breakfast and a fourth woman whose name we also don’t know either. The tables were also laid out well and very clean. After breakfast and after we went to brush our teeth and take a few things we needed for our day out, we enlisted the help of Michael the concierge who was also polite, professional, and helpful by helping us get our bearings of the local area. However Michael did say he was the only member of the concierge team and when he is not on shift/available guests will need to ask other members of the team including those on the arrival desks and this can be busy given people arriving and checking in for accommodation. We also borrowed an umbrella each and the man who is Italian at the door was very polite and friendly too least not with my partner given her late father was Italian. We also were able to leave our luggage after checking out of the hotel for a few hours before we made our way back to the main Airport. All in all this hotel might be expensive for some but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would both recommend the hotel and come back again and hopefully we will do just that soon.

Slough, United Kingdom691 contributions160 helpful votes
Spent 2 nights here, location is next door to the train station, but don’t worry, there is no noise at all. Rooms are lovely and very comfortable. Very grand looking hotel. Very business friendly. The reason for taking 2 stars away - the number 1 factor for booking the Sofitel was their Spa which looked wonderful. I booked this weekend break directly via Sofitel months ago and chose the expensive Sofitel for this reason. On arrival we discovered the spa, swimming pool, sauna etc were all under refurbishment for several months. I would have expected an email informing us of this in advance. Their work around is to the use the spa at the Meridian opposite. Which means leaving the hotel, crossing the main road and going to a different hotel. We did but the pool temperature was cold, barely heated and frankly no where near the standard of the Sofitel. Second reason, we were not informed / reminded on arrival that the room rate included breakfast. On checking out the lovely lady at reception apologised that the person checking us in, had not informed us or bothered to tell us where the breakfast was. Granted I should have double checked if the rate included breakfast or not but from a 5 star hotel, you would expect them to inform you of restaurant hours etc. As an apology, she gave us a voucher which we used for a soft drink at the bar. Missed out of over 120 euros of breakfast but 2 coke zeros was the compensation. Overall, maybe some retraining of staff is required. Unfortunately I wish I had booked a different hotel.

Bonjour AymanN, I sincerely apologize for the disappointment and possible disruption caused by the renovation work, the aim of which is of course to offer an even more modern service with maximum convenience. We will of course endeavor to keep disruption to a minimum and complete the work quickly. I very much regret the inconvenience - and ask for your understanding for the measures. We will, of course, take your criticism regarding communication as an opportunity to scrutinize it again. However, please allow me to point out that we explicitly refer to the renovation work on all platforms and in the reservation confirmation, which our guests also confirm and expressly welcome. It would be nice if you would give us another chance, which I would ask you to do. Yours sincerely, Emiel van Dijk, General Manager

Beautiful hotel located next to the train station - so very convenient to walk right there. The rooms are very ice and spacious but there is zero bathroom privacy. Glass door that does not close all the way so there is not privacy at all. Staff is super helpful and friendly and gave us great suggestions for our time in Munich. Highly recommend this hotel other than the bathroom situation.

This hotel is located near the main train station (Hauptbahnhof) and has excellent food and facilities. The breakfasts are top notch and the spa and pool are enjoyable, including in the middle of winter. We encountered some very helpful staff, in particular Katerina, Tchung, Rabi and John. Management were very keen to make sure hotel guests enjoyed their stay.

Sao Paulo, SP14 contributions6 helpful votes
It's a functional hotel next to the central station. It's definitely not 5 stars. It has the infrastructure of a 5-star hotel (a beautiful spacious historical building) but it doesn't have any service, attention, or care at all. Employees just make things happen but don't relate with you and when you call the front desk, it's like they are doing you a favor. We arrived around 11 pm, and the same person who carried our luggage and parked the car, came up to the room to prepare the bed for the kids, which was not previously prepared. He was actually a nice guy, with an immigrant background trying to make a living probably, and I tipped him well for being so nice. But having just 1 person in the night to do all this is absurd, especially in a 5-star hotel. The location is convenient and overall facilities are good, there's a swimming pool, for example. I personally didn't like the restaurants, felt overpriced for nothing special. Breakfast feels industrialized and not taken care of, but costs like what a regular 5-start would charge. No attention to detail whatsoever, no charm, no feeling, soul-less.

We enjoyed our 4 night stay, it was a very busy time at hotel but staff were efficient and friendly. Although the manager of housekeeping was very helpful with a few requests we were disappointed our rooms were cleaned late a couple of days which clashed with us needing to get ready to go out to dinner after being out all day. This was rectified when asked which we appreciated. I also think the towels are not up to the standard of a Sofitel as very thin. Enjoyed the bar and front desk staff excellent. A nice hotel but not up with other Sofitels around the world.
