How often do you arrive at a suburban hotel on the outskirts of a hugely developed and busy metropolis like Munich and are pleasantly surprised by its pristine and appealing outfit of huge glass windows circumambulating the crescent-shaped entrance? The Park Hotel in ………..in a countrified residential area near parklands in Neu Pasing offered us a wonderful opportunity to discover its origins. Thanks to the generosity of our dear Sister in law, Frau Paul, living in the same area, we stayed for 3 nights over a long weekend in the latter half of September. This 60-year small boutique hotel is incredibly welcoming with friendly staff, an intimate dining cum lounge area (offering coffee and a variety of German cakes and gateaus for a cosy afternoon chit chat) and clean, well furnished comfortable rooms providing all the amenities that a 5-star chain hotel could offer you these days….except one may have to upgrade to enjoy some of the amenities that come with the room at the Park, in a 5 star joint. The Continental breakfast offered variety and eggs in any shape or form offered and cooked with loving care and genuine hospitality. And when you delve into the origins and history of this unique ‘home to home’ arrangements you suddenly discover a unique celebrity connection of a famous pop singer - none other than the one-time heartthrob then Elvis Presley, who actually stayed in this retreat, perhaps in those days surrounded by the serenity and greenery of what may have been a huge forest on the outskirts of Munich, once the hunting ground of the then-contemporary King…..one lives and learns. Thoroughly recommended.

“Good value, no frills, really clean, nice staff.”

Good value, but no luxury, for example there was no coffee machine in my room, which I didn't have a problem with. Very clean rooms and facilities.

I found staff to be very friendly and helpful in accommodating my requests to the extent they could. I like the location (very close to the U-bahn) but it may not be for everybody. I did not partake of the breakfast nor did I use any other facilities, so I can't speak to those items, but the staff and management seemed to show a surprising high level of care for their guests.

“Lovely hotel with very comfortable rooms.”

This was my second stay at the Park Hotel. The first room was at the front on the first floor, so noisy early in the morning as I sleep with the window open.

This was my second stay at the Park Hotel. The first room was at the front on the first floor, so noisy early in the morning as I sleep with the window open. If you sleep with the window closed, probably no issue. The room was excellent - spacious, mini-bar, glasses, a TV Menu (so helpful always!), small but perfectly fine shower room, air conditioning, sofa, etc. The bed was very comfortable; much better than in most modern hotels. The towels are worth nothing - they are the type that actually dry you! The WiFi in my room on the first floor was excellent and you can easily run a VPN on your devices with no issues. However, the second room on the 3rd floor was too weak to connect. The third floor room was also very warm, even with the window open, so if you like to be cool to sleep, request a lower room! The personnel are nice and helpful. In summary, The Park Hotel has a lot of traditional touches and feels like the family run hotel that it is. It is a few steps from the U5 which makes it perfectly placed. Just ensure you are in a room with WiFi coverage and you will have a great stay!
