Hotel Biederstein is built for people who want to wake up beside the English Garden. It stands on Keferstrasse in Schwabing, about one minute from the edge of the park, so a morning run, a walk to the Eisbach or a coffee on the grass costs nothing in transport time. Schwabing's nightlife and cafes are close: Leopoldstrasse is about eight minutes' walk, the Muenchner Freiheit about nine and the Chinese Tower, with its beer garden, about 15, while the Dietlindenstrasse U-Bahn station is around eight minutes on foot and the university district is a short drive. The old town is farther, so you will use public transport to reach Marienplatz. The hotel is simple and quiet, with free Wi-Fi in rooms, balconies or patios in many rooms, a lift, smoke-free premises and multilingual staff. Rooms include Double Rooms with Balcony of about 260 square feet, Single Rooms with Balcony of around 205, Comfort Doubles of about 300 and a Family Double or Twin Room for up to four people overlooking the garden. A buffet breakfast is offered for an extra charge and self-parking is available at a modest daily rate with limited places. Pets are not allowed, and the airport is about 29 minutes by car, which is shorter than from most central hotels.
Location
Keferstrasse is a quiet residential street on the east side of Schwabing, close to the park and the Isar. The English Garden is minutes away, and a walk through it brings you to the Eisbach wave, the Japanese Tea House and the Chinese Tower. Leopoldstrasse's restaurants and shops are about eight minutes away. The Dietlindenstrasse U-Bahn is the nearest station, so allow time to reach the old town on public transport.
Who it suits
Couples and solo travellers who want a calm, green base, runners and cyclists, and visitors who prefer Schwabing's cafes to the old town's crowds. Families can book the family room for four. Visitors who plan to spend most of their time in the old town or at the Viktualienmarkt will be better off in the Altstadt, while those with a car will appreciate the cheaper parking.
Compared with nearby options
The Altstadt hotels are far more central but have no park on the doorstep. Biederstein is the most affordable way to stay right next to the English Garden. Rates rise during trade fairs and Oktoberfest, and it is wise to book ahead for summer weekends, when the park is at its busiest.
