KINGs Hotel First Class is a practical, comfortable base for museum visitors, on Dachauer Strasse in the Maxvorstadt district. It is about two minutes' walk from the Kunstareal, the cluster of art museums that includes the Pinakotheken and the Lenbachhaus area, around eight from Koenigsplatz, nine from Karlsplatz (Stachus), 17 from Marienplatz and 17 from the Theresienwiese, so it works for both culture and the old town. It offers free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a restaurant and bar, a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage and an electric car charging station. Rooms range from Comfort Single rooms of around 170 square feet to Comfort Doubles of about 215, Club Doubles facing the courtyard of about 235, and Superior and Family rooms or Suites of about 590 square feet, with space for up to four people, which is a big advantage for families in central Munich. Breakfast is a buffet for an extra charge, parking is offered at a daily fee with limited places, and one dog per room is accepted for a fee. There is also a meeting room, so the hotel is used for small business events. It suits couples, families and travellers who want to be near the museums at a more moderate price than the old town hotels.
Location
Dachauer Strasse runs from the museum quarter toward the main station area, and the Kunstareal is on your doorstep, with the Pinakotheken, the Brandhorst Museum and the Lenbachhaus within a short walk. Koenigsplatz and the NS Documentation Centre are about eight minutes away, and Karlsplatz and the pedestrian zone about nine. Check the walking distance to the main station and the nearest U-Bahn when you book, so you can plan your arrival with luggage.
Who it suits
Art lovers, history travellers and families who need a room for four without paying for a suite in the old town. Couples will find it a quieter base than Marienplatz, and those with a car can use the limited parking and the charging station. Travellers who want to be among the beer halls in the evening will use a short walk or the U-Bahn.
Compared with nearby options
The Charles Hotel is a luxury alternative with a pool a few minutes away, and the Motel One at Sendlinger Tor is a cheaper, simpler choice closer to the old town. The KINGs offers a good middle ground, with air conditioning, a restaurant and larger rooms. Expect higher prices in Oktoberfest and trade-fair weeks, and note that breakfast and parking cost extra.
