Hauptbahnhof, or Munich Central Station, is the spot to book if you want affordable and convenient accommodation. While you might recognise some of the international budget hotel chains here, there are also a couple of independent hotels that offer fantastic value for money. A stay in this spot puts many attractions within convenient walking distance.

If you're looking for luxury, Schwabing and Maxvorstadt will be your best bet. International hotel chains, such as the Marriott and Mercure, can both be found in Schwabing, while 5-star Munich hotels in Maxvorstadt ensure you'll have a very comfortable stay.

One of the most popular regions to stay in Munich is Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt, with plenty of choice in accommodation. Enjoy some of the cultural experiences of Isarvorstadt, including Gartnerplatz theatre or the Marionette theatre. If you plan to stay here during December, the Christmas market draws many tourists – so book early!

Along with Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt, Altstadt-Lehel is a popular spot for Munich accommodation. Here you'll find a range of apartment-style accommodation to suit all budgets, as well as luxury, 4-star and 3-star hotels. Public transport is readily available in the area, ensuring easy access to many attractions within Munich. Whether you want a touch of luxury or a cheap and cheerful place to stay, Altstadt-Lehel is a great base.

While mostly residential areas, both Laim and Sendling offer some comfortable accommodation if you wish to get away from the tourist areas. Close to reliable public transport, staying in either of these districts is affordable; plus you'll be within a short distance to Marienplatz markets, Nymphenburg Palace and Englischer Garten.\
