Munich Airport Premier Inn: Unbeatable Deals & Reviews!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the world of… the Munich Airport Premier Inn. And let me tell you, I've had some experiences. Forget the travel blogs, this is the real, unfiltered, slightly-caffeinated-at-4-am-because-of-jetlag review.
The Premise: Unbeatable Deals & Reviews! (And a Possible Nap)
So, the Premier Inn. You see it. You need it. Especially after a soul-crushing flight. This one's conveniently plonked near the Munich Airport, promising a quick escape from travel hell. The "unbeatable deals" bit? Well, that's a gamble, isn't it? Price fluctuations are the bane of my existence. But the reviews… that's what got me hooked. Let's see if the hype holds up.
First Impressions & Airport Transfer - The Gateway Drug to Sleep
Right off the bat, the airport transfer situation is key. They have one, which is a GODSEND after you wrestle your luggage through customs. (Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site] – they even have parking! Score!) Getting there? Easy. Like, seriously, even I didn’t get lost (and I once spent 45 minutes trying to find the exit of a hotel lobby).
Accessibility & The Wonderful World of Elevators (and, Uh, Other Stuff)
Okay, let's talk about the nitty-gritty, because some of us need it. Wheelchair accessible? Yes, blessedly. Facilities for disabled guests? Seems so, but I didn't personally test it. I’d rather avoid having to. The Elevator worked. That is a MAJOR win. The stuff they promised, like audio-visual equipment for special events is cool but… I doubt I'd be planning a rave in my hotel room.
Cleanliness & Safety - Am I Gonna Catch Something? (Probably not)
Look, flying is germy. End of story. So, did the Premier Inn live up to the hype? Rooms sanitized between stays? Check. Anti-viral cleaning products? Reported. Staff trained in safety protocol? They seemed like they knew what they were doing, at least. Made me feel like I wasn’t going to spontaneously combust from some exotic airborne plague. Hand sanitizer everywhere. You know the drill. Doctor/nurse on call … you just know someone needed that after a few too many steins.
Room Rundown - My Fortress of Solitude… and Wi-Fi
The room… was… fine. Like, perfectly functional. Air conditioning blasts like it should. Blackout curtains? Absolutely crucial. After a red-eye flight, those things are life. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms, which is a MUST. Seriously, if a hotel charges for Wi-Fi in this day and age, I'm out. It was reliable, too, which is a minor miracle. The bathroom? Clean. Basic. The shower pressure was… adequate. No complaints, no wow factor. It all made a decent staging area to get a beer and a nice rest, something I was more than ready for.
Internet & Stuff - The Digital Age, Baby!
Internet access – wireless? Again, yes! Internet access – LAN? They're catering to the dinosaur crowd, apparently. But hey, options! Internet services? It worked. Moving on.
(IMPORTANT NOTE: I've got to mention the lack of a view. It's not like you're getting a scenic overlook from your room. This is an airport hotel, people. Embrace the beige.)
Dining, Drinking & Snacking – Fueling the Machine (AKA Me)
Now, let's talk about the necessities. Food. Breakfast [buffet]? Yep! Breakfast service? Indeed! Buffet in restaurant? Yup. And, it was… standard. The usual suspects: scrambled eggs (that, for some reason I never trust), sausages and bacon (better), pastries, fruit. Nothing to write home about, but filled the void. Coffee/tea in restaurant? Check. Coffee shop? Sadly, no. Bar? Yes, and a very welcome yes after a long flight. Happy hour? Didn't catch it, sadly. Restaurants? Yes, with the ability to order A la carte in restaurant. Snack bar? Probably, I can't remember. Room service [24-hour]? They didn't have it or I didn't order it. I'm now remembering that there was a Poolside bar. I will never sit near a pool.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax – Are We There Yet?
Okay, so, this isn't a resort. Forget the spa. Forget the sauna. Forget the pool with view. This is an airport hotel, people, and that’s ok. Gym/fitness? They probably had one, but I was too busy sleeping to explore. Access? Simple and easy.
Services & Conveniences – The Little Things That Matter (or Don't)
Concierge: Probably. I didn't need one. Daily housekeeping: Yes, and they left the room spotless. Laundry service: Yes, to keep your garments fresh. Luggage storage: Check. Cash withdrawal, currency exchange: Probably, but who uses cash anymore? Elevator: YES!
For the Kids - (I Don't Have Any)
I didn’t personally interact with this side. Babysitting service, kids facilities, kids meal? No idea! If you’re traveling with the small humans, it’s wise to check carefully.
Getting Around - Transportation Tango
Airport transfer: Already covered, and it’s GOLDEN. Car park [free of charge] and car park [on-site]. Good. Fine.
The Emotional Rollercoaster… Actually, Mostly Just Sleep
Look, this isn't a vacation hotel. This is a get-me-out-of-the-airport hotel. My emotional journey consisted of:
- Exhaustion.
- Relief at the airport transfer.
- Mild joy at the sight of a clean room.
- Hours of blissful, uninterrupted sleep.
- Slight annoyance at the mediocre breakfast.
- Contentment.
- Repeated the process on the way back.
The Verdict – Should You Book?
Absolutely, yes. If you need an airport hotel, the Premier Inn is a solid choice. It's clean, convenient, and does what it promises. The deals are probably real (check those prices!), and the location is fantastic. It's not fancy, it's not glamorous. But it's practical. And sometimes, that's all you need. Plus, those blackout curtains? Priceless.
My Crazy-Ass Offer (Because I'm Exhausted AND a Marketer Now)
Tired of the airport grind? Need a place to crash after a flight? Book Munich Airport Premier Inn NOW and get:
- Guaranteed fast, reliable Wi-Fi (so you can avoid talking to the person next to you on the flight).

Escape to Paradise: Uncover the Hidden Gem of Village Muta, Porto Seguro!
Alright, buckle up buttercup, because this ain't your grandma's itinerary. This is…well, it's my itinerary for a trip to Munich, specifically, the Premier Inn Muenchen Airport Ost because, let's be honest, convenience reigns supreme when jetlag is chewing your face off. And I’m already feeling the pressure of planning this thing, Lord help me.
MUC Munich Chaos – Operation: Get My Schnitzel On!
(Dates: Let's say October 26th - 30th, because autumn in Bavaria is basically heaven. Also, my birthday is in October, so… you know, gotta treat myself.)
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Lager Hunt (or, "Why Did They Put the Airport So Far Away?!")
- Morning (or, whenever the hell my flight lands): Arrive at Munich Airport (MUC). God, it's always a marathon just to get out of the airport. Then, finding the bloody bus to the hotel… ugh. I’m already picturing myself wrestling my suitcase onto a packed bus full of weary travelers and smelling a faint but persistent whiff of stale pretzels.
- Approx. 11:00 AM: Check-in at Premier Inn. Pray to the hotel gods for a decent room. Last time I was in a Premier Inn I got a room that was either facing onto a concrete wall (depressing) or directly over a noisy street. I'll take noise over existential dread any day.
- 12:00 PM (ish): Food. NEED. FOOD. Like, immediately. I'm not entirely sure what I crave when I'm in Germany, but I know I crave it, and it's usually something involving carbs and meat. I'll probably stumble around the area of the hotel and find whatever looks the least sketchy. Fingers crossed for a decent Bratwurst and maybe a beer, because beer is a mandatory food group, right?
- Afternoon: Mandatory nap. Flight delayed? Bad sleep on the plane? It's gonna be a battle. No matter what, I need some Zs, even if it's just a 30-minute power nap. I'll set about a million alarms, because I’m notoriously terrible at waking up on time.
- Late Afternoon/Evening: The Great Lager Hunt begins. I must find some good, authentic German beer within walking distance. This is a serious mission, people, a pilgrimage. I want a proper Helles or a Dunkel, something that tastes like sunshine and history and crisp autumn air. If I stumble upon a beer garden, I might just spontaneously combust from happiness. I’ll likely get lost at least once, probably arguing with Google Maps because I swear it's leading me the wrong way.
- Evening: Hopefully, succeed in my beer quest and, even more hopefully, find a place with some good local food to soak up the alcohol. Pro tip: never go to bed on an empty stomach after a few beers. Learn from my mistakes. The results are almost always messy and involve a frantic 2 AM raid on the mini-bar.
Day 2: City Center Jitters and Bavarian Charm (and Pretzel Obsession)
- Morning: Breakfast at the Premier Inn. I know, it’s not exactly Michelin-star material, but it's convenient and gets the job done. Plus, I'm not going to pretend that I haven't had a full breakfast at a hotel.
- 9:00 AM (ish): Brave the S-Bahn (the train, if you're not a local). I'll try to remember how to buy a ticket. German public transport… it's efficient, but navigating it after a few beers the night before is like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube in zero gravity. My sense of direction is already questionable in the best of times.
- 10:00 AM: Marienplatz! The Glockenspiel! The Neues Rathaus! Oh my god, so many tourists. The sheer number of people is always overwhelming. I'll attempt to weave through the crowds like a slightly bewildered ninja. I love the architecture, though. It’s like stepping into a fairy tale. I'll probably spend too much time taking pictures of the buildings and then get yelled at by a local trying to get somewhere.
- Midday: Pretzel Intervention. Serious business. I must find a real Bavarian pretzel. Not one of those sad, dry supermarket imitations. Soft, salty, with that perfect yeasty aroma… I'm getting hungry just thinking about it! I will probably buy like three in a row while muttering something about "research" and "cultural immersion."
- Afternoon: Deutsches Museum. I should go. It's supposed to be amazing, but let’s be honest, I'm a history buff, and museums are exhausting. I might end up wandering around, getting overwhelmed by all the history and engineering marvels, and then needing a nap.
- Late Afternoon/Evening: Beer Garden Redux (a more sophisticated sequel to Day 1). I'm going to try a different beer garden this time, maybe one off the beaten path. I'll try to learn a few basic German phrases beyond " ein Bier, bitte " (one beer, please). I'll probably fail miserably. The goal is to soak up the atmosphere, enjoy the beer, make some awful jokes with the locals (in broken German), and maybe, just maybe, stumble back to the S-Bahn in one piece.
- Evening: Dinner. Hopefully, I find something to complement the beer.
Day 3: Dachau – A Day for Reflection (and maybe some tears)
- Morning: This will be a difficult but necessary morning. This is the day I visit Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site. It's a heavy experience, and something I need to be prepared to process, no matter how much I think I'm ready. I know it won't be fun, but it’s important, and it’s vital to confront the past to understand the present. I’ll take the train there, and I’ll try to find a quiet moment to reflect on where I am and what I am bearing witness to.
- Midday: Following the visit, I’ll need some time to regroup. I might wander through the memorial grounds again, or I might just sit down and have a quiet moment. The emotional weight will be significant, and I'll definitely need a break. I'll probably have a huge, silent, inner debate over a coffee and snack.
- Afternoon/Evening: After Dachau, I’ll need something to clear my head. That may just include a walk around the city, and a good, hearty dinner. Definitely a beer to try and help forget for a while, some of the things I experienced. It's a very heavy experience, and you have your own different ways of processing it. I'm not going to force it on anyone.
Day 4: Day Trip Dilemma and Farewell Feast (Or, "Will I Actually Leave Munich?")
- Morning: Okay, day trip! But to where? Neuschwanstein Castle? The Alps? Salzburg (Austria)? Decisions, decisions! I'll probably spend half the morning agonizing over the possibilities, checking the weather forecast, and reading countless online reviews. This is my own little game of chance. It's likely I'll overpack for the day, as I always do.
- Midday: Actually do the day trip I selected! The experience will be… well, whatever I chose. There will be crowds, there will be potential train delays, and there will be moments of breathtaking beauty or abject frustration. I'll try to document it all, because let’s be honest, I forget things fast.
- Late Afternoon: Return to Munich, exhausted and maybe a little sunburned. I'll probably also be broke from all the train tickets, souvenirs, and impulse buys.
- Evening: Farewell feast! Something truly, spectacularly Bavarian. Another Bratwurst? Another Schnitzel? This is my last night, therefore it has to be big. I intend to find a restaurant with live music: maybe a folk band. I'll attempt to learn to swing dance or something, because why not? I’ll drink more beer and, if I'm lucky, cry a little bit because the trip is ending.
- Late Night: Pack. Or, more accurately, attempt to pack. I will probably have a suitcase full of dirty laundry and souvenirs that make no sense, and a deep sense of regret about the things I didn't do.
Day 5: Departure and the Aftermath (Or, "Did I Actually Enjoy This?")
- Morning: Wake up, possibly with a hangover. Rush around like a maniac trying to get ready. Check out of the Premier Inn. Take the bus to the Munich airport.
- Midday: Arrive at the airport with enough time to spare, hopefully. This is when the reflection kicks in. Did I buy enough souvenirs? Did I eat enough pretzels? Did I see all the sights? Inevitably I'll have a few regrets, and maybe I
Munich Airport Premier Inn: The Good, The Bad, and The Uhm... Questionable! (And the Deals!)
Okay, Seriously, is the Munich Airport Premier Inn actually a good deal? My wallet's screaming!
Alright, let's be real: "good deal" is subjective, like opinions on sauerkraut. BUT! Generally? Yep. The Munich Airport Premier Inn can be a lifesaver, especially if you're staring down a pre-dawn flight or a post-flight zombie crawl. Think about it: you're practically *in* the airport. No stressing about taxis, trains that run on Bavarian time (read: slow), or that soul-crushing walk from the parking garage.
The deals? They fluctuate like a yodeling competition. I've snagged rooms for peanuts (relatively speaking!) during off-season, booking way in advance. But I've also paid, ahem, *slightly* more when panic-booking at the last minute after missing a connection (don't ask). My advice? Check the website religiously, sign up for those loyalty programs (even if you only stay once a year), and compare prices to other options. Sometimes, a nearby guesthouse might offer a cheaper, but you pay for convenience.
Oh, and *that* breakfast buffet? Don't get me started... More on that later. *shudders*...
How's the location, really? Is it actually close to the airport? I'm envisioning a 3-hour trek...
Location? Goldilocks would approve. It's *almost* too convenient. You can practically smell the jet fuel (in a good way, if you're into that sort of thing). Seriously, it’s a short, well-signed walk from both terminals. Even with luggage (and my usual tendency to trip over air), it’s a breeze. I once saw a guy wearing full lederhosen rolling his suitcase. Inspiring, really.
The downside? Well, you *are* right next to an airport. Expect airplane noises. I, personally, find the rhythmic whoosh of aircraft strangely soothing. Others, like my partner, who sleeps with industrial-strength earplugs, disagree. So, if you are easily bothered by noise – bring earplugs, it's going to be loud.
What are the rooms like? Are they, you know, *clean*? I am a germophobe...
Rooms: Generally clean. Let’s be honest, it's a Premier Inn. Think "functional, comfortable, and probably a shade beige." Don't expect luxury; expect practicality. The beds are usually decent, and the showers are generally good. (I usually check behind the beds and under the desk for any rogue dust bunnies. Judge me all you want.)
There's a certain consistency. It's not the Four Seasons, but it’s not a hostel with questionable stains on the walls either. I once found a tiny, perfectly folded origami crane on my pillow. Still not sure if that was deliberate or a happy accident, but it was a nice touch! (made me cry... a bit).
The breakfast buffet – the rumors, the whispers... What's the deal? Worth the extra cost? Food, food, food!
The breakfast, ah, the breakfast... Okay, here's the raw truth: it's a buffet. Which means quantity over, well, sometimes quality. But, and this is a big but... it’s convenient! You’re already there, you’re hungry and it's included if you paid the right price.
Expect the usual suspects: scrambled eggs (sometimes a bit watery), bacon (crispy on a good day), sausages, cereal, pastries (some are actually pretty darn good!), coffee (surprisingly decent), and a selection of cold cuts and cheeses. They usually have some German staples like pretzels and cold cuts. It’s a carb-lover's paradise with a little bit of protein thrown in for good measure. It's nothing Michelin-star, but it will get you going.
Here is a weird story. One time, at the breakfast, a super-friendly woman asked me if her English accent was good. I said yes, but she insisted it was "perfect" as she went around and greeted everyone. I don't know why, but I still remember this! Anyway, back to breakfast.
My advice? Go early. Beat the crowds, grab the freshest stuff, and avoid any potential existential crises related to lukewarm scrambled eggs. Is it worth the extra cost? Depends on your hungriness and your travel style. If you have a flight to catch, it’s worth it. If you're on a super budget, maybe skip it and hit the airport bakery. But for the convenience and the potential for a decent caffeine fix? *Probably* yes.
Are there any restaurants or bars nearby? Or am I trapped?
Trapped? No! Unless you *want* to be! The Premier Inn has its own restaurant and bar, which is convenient. It serves the usual pub grub – burgers, pizzas, that sort of thing. It’s fine, perfectly adequate for a quick and easy meal. I once had a pizza there that was… memorable. In a “I’ll never forget how average it was” kind of way. BUT it’s there, and it’s food, and that’s what counts.
The airport itself offers a vast array of dining options, from fast food to sit-down restaurants. So, if you're feeling adventurous, explore the terminals. Just be mindful of how long it takes to get through security if you're not already airside. There are also a few shops, but I can not buy anything, because it's all so costly.
Do they offer a shuttle service? Or am I hoofing it with my suitcase in the snow (or rain or sunshine)?
No shuttle. You'll be walking. At least, that was my experience. The good news is that it’s a relatively easy walk, well-signposted, and on a mostly flat surface. You can do it! Think of it as your pre-flight warm-up exercise. Good if you have to carry two bags. You may have a problem!
What about internet? WiFi fees, or free? I need to post Instagram stories, obviously.
WiFi is generally free (hallelujah!). The speed? Well, let's just say it's reliable enough to check emails and scroll through the 'gram, but don’t expect to stream a high-definition movie without some buffering. I once tried to download a huge file and gaveComfort Inn
