Design-Hotel JAMS is a smart choice for travellers who prefer Haidhausen to the old town. The hotel is on Stubenvoll Strasse in Au-Haidhausen, the lively quarter east of the Isar with its cafes, bakeries and wine bars, and it makes the most of that setting. The Gasteig cultural centre is three minutes away on foot, the Deutsches Museum about nine, the Viktualienmarkt about 16 and the English Garden about 20, and the Am Gasteig tram stop is a minute from the door, with Munich East Station around 15 minutes on foot and the airport about 40 minutes by car. It is a hotel with personality: on site there is Jams Restaurant and Bar, a coffee shop and cafe and a terrace, and bike rentals make it easy to follow the Isar. Rooms are modern and well equipped, with flat-screen televisions, heated bathroom floors and rainfall showers, and they range from Comfort Single rooms of about 130 square feet and Cozy Doubles of about 195 to Comfort and Deluxe Doubles and Twins of around 225, and a Comfort Suite of about 430 square feet that sleeps four. Breakfast is a buffet for an extra charge, parking is offered at a daily rate, an airport shuttle can be booked, and pets are welcome for a fee. Express check-in and check-out and multilingual staff help for short stays.
Location
Haidhausen is one of the most pleasant places to stay in Munich, with its Bavarian-French quarter around Weissenburger Platz, its restaurants and its cafes. From the hotel you can walk across the Isar to the Deutsches Museum, along the river to the Gaertnerplatz, or up to the Maximilianeum and the Isar paths. The Gasteig cultural centre is three minutes away, and the tram from the door takes you toward the old town.
Who it suits
Couples, culture lovers and anyone who prefers a neighbourhood to the tourist centre. Culture lovers will like having the Gasteig and the Deutsches Museum within walking distance, and families can use the Comfort Suite. Those who want to be steps from Marienplatz and the beer halls should stay in the Altstadt, while those who want a pool or spa should look at the larger hotels.
Compared with nearby options

JAMS offers a more contemporary design and a bar and restaurant on site. Expect higher rates during Oktoberfest and trade fairs, and note that breakfast, parking and the airport shuttle are extra.
