Holiday Inn Munich-Unterhaching

"Pros: • clean and comfortable bed • clean toilet • good heating • good water pressure Cons: • lack of sufficient hooks in toilet to hang clothes • magnifying mirror in toilet in a strange position • lifts have no close button; doors take some time to close automatically"

"I use IHG often and I will say that this Holiday Inn was not it. The location is in the middle of a coporate park. The room was fine but we were two people and there was only one towel in the room. We did request for more but that was kind of a shock. The worst part is that parking is up the street. I can't imagine someone with mobility issues having to park up the street and then walk all the way back to the hotel. Staff was fine but I would not stay at this Holiday Inn again."

"I come to the Holiday Inn Munich Unterhaching once or twice a year as a trainer, and it has firmly settled into the category of “places I don’t have to think about”. It’s not trying to be trendy or luxurious, but it works – and when you’re travelling for work, that counts for a lot. The location is practical rather than pretty. The hotel sits in a business/retail area, just a short walk from Taufkirchen S-Bahn. Small but important detail: don’t get off at Unterhaching – I once did that, in the middle of the night, in a thunderstorm, and paid the price. From Taufkirchen you can get into Munich city centre without too much fuss, even if the ride isn’t the shortest in the world. If you’re driving, access from the motorway is very easy, and the underground parking at around 14 € a day is, in my view, reasonable for the area. Inside, the hotel feels like a classic business property: large, efficient and generally calm. The rooms are spacious, which I always appreciate – especially when I’ve spread half my seminar materials across the desk and floor. Not everything is ultra-modern, and in some bathrooms you can see that a bit of time has passed, but the place is well maintained and you can tell that renovation is happening step by step. A small fridge in the room is genuinely useful if you’re staying a little longer and like to keep a few supermarket bits or cold drinks to hand. For work, it does exactly what I need. The seminar rooms are well set up, the Wi-Fi works reliably, and I don’t waste time fighting technology before a workshop. Around the hotel there are a few shops and restaurants within walking distance, but to be honest, you don’t have to go far: the hotel bar is pleasant, the restaurant is good, and the breakfast is very satisfying – exactly what you want before a long training day. What lifts the whole experience is the staff. They’re consistently friendly and helpful, the sort of people who remember to say good morning and actually mean it. That may sound like a small thing, but when you’re living out of a suitcase, it makes a difference."
