HOTEL MARIANDL

Café am Beethovenplatz: abends mit live Musik.

The hotel is located near the main station of Munich in a beautiful historical building - for connoisseurs of architecture, art, the romance of antiquity and those who are ready to sacrifice their comfort for their passion (although I believe that for the price that guests pay, the latter still deserve to get a little more service). A minute's walk away is the excellent Gabányi Bar, possibly one of the best I've ever been to. That's where the pluses end.
In the hotel was very strange and peculiar service, and its price is clearly exaggerated. It was my first time in Germany, I am far from stereotypical, and I hope this is not the traditional style of hospitality in the tourist sector in Germany, so I might be just trivially unlucky. It was also the first time I had to deal with checking myself in at the bar. In general I got my first impression that my visit made the hotel staff very uncomfortable, as if they perceive their job as something unbearable and one more guest is a big burden for them.
The hotel staff either pretended not to know English or fundamentally speak only German (except for the smiling guy who works at the bar in the morning while serving breakfast).
The bed was clean and made up every day. The towels were also changed every day. I did not like the poor quality of the pillow and mattress. The old parquet flooring in the room desires a resurfacing. Otherwise, I enjoyed the small details in the interior - beautiful door knobs, wooden window frames, antique wardrobe, mouldings on the ceiling, spiral wooden staircase with massive handrails. At the entrance stands an old piano as decoration. I felt a little sad and sorry for the old instrument, lonely living out its last days on the street. In the evening there is live music in the bar. But I wasn't in the mood to go to this bar after I asked for a glass of beer and a bottle of water and was charged a seemingly just made up price of 11 euros.

Wir waren nach einem Kurs mit externen Gästen (insgesamt acht Personen) im Mariandl essen. Fünf von uns hatten den Schweinsbraten bestellt, der bei allen fünf kalt serviert wurde. Wir machten den Kellner drauf aufmerksam, we nahm die Teller wieder mit und brachte nach fünf Minuten die fünf angeschnittenen Schweinsbraten Teller wieder und stellte sie uns einfach hin, wusste aber nicht welcher Teller wem gehörte. Wir haben dann unter uns versucht die Teller richtig zu verteilen. Abgesehen vom schlechtesten Essen, das wir Münchner seit langem hatten, war der Service einfach eine bodenlose Frechheit.

....immer sehr gerne!!

War nur im Restaurant: trotz vollem Haus flotter und sehr sympathischer Service, der auch Sonderwünsche möglich macht, top. Insgesamt gute und lockere Stimmung. Speisekarte auf der jeder was findet. Unterschiedliche Sachen bestellt, alles frisch und sehr lecker. Empfehlenswert!
