The hotel rooms were larger than I expected and quite clean. However, the bed configuration was not as we thought, leading us to opt for a rollaway bed for an extra 30 euros, creating a cramped area. Despite this, I would choose to stay here again when visiting Munich, although the rooms were really very warm.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were noisy and out of WiFi range, which was a downside. On the positive side, the service was fantastic and efficient. The location was close to the center and convenient for exploring. The dining was a bit expensive, but the food was decent. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel is conveniently located next to the main street, making it simple for us to explore all the important areas in Munich. The rooms, although facing the courtyard and away from street traffic, were huge and included a fridge. The service from the staff was excellent, especially in dealing patiently with questions and requests. The location, although a bit 'sketchy' in parts, is undeniably close to the center, providing easy access to Munich landmarks. The dining experience, while not meeting high expectations for a four-star hotel, offered fresh-cracked eggs. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory for the stay.

My stay at Hotel Cristal was mixed. The rooms, although clean enough and adequate for our needs, were noisy due to the main street location. The service, while very good and helpful, had some delays in responses. The location, close to the central station and city center, was convenient for traveling but not ideal for families with young children. The dining experience was extra expensive compared to other similar hotels. The facilities were decent overall.

The hotel had a mix of positive and negative aspects. The rooms were not entirely clean, but the bed was well-made. The standard double room was quite small, matching what was shown on the website and at the front desk. The service was polite and professional, especially on the internet site, and the breakfast room had a friendly older woman. The location was convenient next to the main train station, although solo female travelers might feel unsafe at night. The dining was not up to par for a four-star hotel, and the pricing seemed high for the value. The facilities overall offered a decent experience.

The hotel rooms are really spacious and surprisingly big, and the entrance lobby and welcome of the staff were nice and clean. However, they could do with a lick of paint to freshen them up a bit.

The hotel is conveniently located near the main station, but the room we initially got faced the courtyard and was smaller than expected. However, after a room change, the new room was better. The service was helpful but lacked details at times. The area around the hotel, with a high number of Arabic immigrants, was noisy and not very comfortable at night. The dining experience wasn't sampled, but the paid Wi-Fi and pricing adjustments were noted. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.
