Hotel Schlicker Stay Summary
Hotel Schlicker is best suited to travelers who want to stay in the middle of Munich Old Town and reach Marienplatz, Viktualienmarkt, restaurants, shops, and public transport on foot. The front desk and breakfast teams are generally helpful, and the included breakfast has a wide choice of hot and cold food. The main drawback is room size. Standard single rooms and some double rooms leave very little space for large luggage. Street-facing rooms can also pick up restaurant noise, early delivery vehicles, and church bells. The hotel has private parking in its courtyard, but access and parking spaces are extremely tight. For a sightseeing trip without a car, the location and breakfast make the hotel worth considering. A larger courtyard-facing room is the better choice for guests who need more space and less noise.
Hotel Schlicker Check-in and Check-out
Arrival and Front Desk Service
Check-in was handled quickly, with reservation details confirmed without a long wait. When a room was ready before the official check-in time, early access was possible. Luggage could also be stored for guests arriving in the morning. Complimentary upgrades were sometimes offered when larger rooms were available. During a period when the elevator was not working, staff carried luggage upstairs.
Check-out and Payment
Check-out was completed quickly at the front desk. The supplied records do not include an exact nightly rate or total amount, so no price is stated here. The payment method, advance payment requirements, and final payment procedure were also not recorded clearly enough to confirm. Because there was at least one issue involving a quoted rate that differed from the final charge, guests should confirm the room rate, breakfast inclusion, parking fee, and any extra charges at check-in.
Hotel Schlicker Room Types
Standard Single and Economy Single Rooms
The smallest single rooms are suitable for a short solo trip, but space is limited. Opening a large suitcase can block most of the walkway, and some beds are positioned against two walls. A desk, chair, wardrobe, safe, television, minibar, and kettle provide the basic equipment needed for a short stay. These rooms work well for guests who spend most of the day outside, but they are not ideal for working in the room or relaxing for long periods.
Standard Double and Street-facing Rooms
Many standard double rooms are also compact. Two large suitcases cannot always be opened comfortably at the same time. Rooms facing Tal can be lively, especially on weekend evenings when nearby restaurants and fast-food outlets are busy. Closing the windows reduces most outside noise, although church bells and early delivery vehicles may still be heard in some rooms. Light sleepers should request a courtyard-facing room.
Larger Double Rooms and Junior Suites
Larger double rooms and junior suites provide more space around the bed and are more suitable for two or three adults. Courtyard-facing rooms are generally quieter than rooms overlooking the street. Travelers staying several nights or carrying substantial luggage will usually be more comfortable in one of these categories.
Apartment and Maisonette
The top-floor apartment is a practical option for families or small groups. It has two bedrooms, a large living room, a modern sofa bed, a small kitchen, a dining table for six, a washing machine, and drying racks. The bathroom is considerably larger than those in standard rooms. The old sofa in the main bedroom was heavily worn and needed replacement, but the apartment still offered more convenience than booking several small hotel rooms.
Hotel Schlicker Room Cleanliness and Sleep Quality
Cleaning and Room Odors
Most rooms were prepared with clean floors, fresh bedding, and tidy bathrooms. Towels were replaced regularly, and the corridors and breakfast room were also well maintained. However, a few rooms needed deeper carpet cleaning, and food crumbs from a previous guest were found in one room. Other reported problems included mold in shower grout, on a bathroom ceiling, and around windows. A strong sewer smell in one bathroom required a room change. Guests should inspect the bathroom and report any odor or mold immediately.
Beds, Linens, and Pillows
Linens were fresh and clean. Mattress comfort varied by room: some beds were very firm, while others were noticeably soft. Pillows could also feel hard or high. Beds in the smallest single rooms were narrow. Guests with specific sleeping preferences should ask whether an alternative pillow is available.
Heating, Air Conditioning, and Windows
Heating worked well and kept rooms warm during cold weather. Many rooms have air conditioning, although cooling strength differed between rooms. Windows can be opened for fresh air, which is useful in mild weather. Street-facing rooms become much noisier with the window open, while some courtyard rooms can pick up noise from building equipment.
Hotel Schlicker Bathroom and Amenities
Shower, Sink, and Toilet
Some bathrooms have been renovated and include a modern walk-in shower or handheld showerhead. Water pressure was adequate, and no repeated hot-water problem was recorded. Bathrooms in smaller rooms are extremely tight. In some cases, the shower door touches the toilet or sink. A few shower trays were slippery, and one sink drained slowly. It is worth checking the shower grout, drain, and floor condition after entering the room.
Towels and In-room Facilities
Towels were generally clean and replaced regularly. Depending on the room category, facilities include a safe, television, minibar, kettle, and shoehorn. Umbrellas can be borrowed, and hotel bicycles are available. In-room coffee may carry an additional charge, so the information card should be checked first. Wi-Fi and laundry service are also available.
Hotel Schlicker Breakfast
Food and Drinks
Breakfast is one of the strongest reasons to stay at Hotel Schlicker. The buffet includes bread, rolls, croissants, pretzels, pancakes, cereal, yogurt, jam, honey, fruit, and vegetables. Hot and savory choices include scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, sausages, Weisswurst, cold cuts, cheese, fish, and antipasti. Espresso, cappuccino, regular coffee, and hot chocolate were served fresh. Lactose-free coffee options were also available.
Breakfast Room and Service
The breakfast room has traditional artwork and historic-style decorations. Staff take drink orders quickly, clear tables, and refill the buffet throughout the morning. Breakfast begins early enough for business travelers and guests with morning tours. Popular dishes can run out later, and Weisswurst was unavailable by around 8 a.m. on one occasion. Conversation from the kitchen was also loud on one morning, but the overall breakfast service remained a major strength.
Hotel Schlicker Staff and Service
Front Desk Team
Front desk staff helped with directions, restaurant suggestions, luggage storage, early arrival, room changes, and technical problems. Early check-in and room upgrades were offered when occupancy allowed. However, communication was less satisfactory when rate disputes or booking issues occurred. Important booking conditions and additional charges should be kept in writing.
Breakfast Team
The breakfast staff provided the most consistently positive service. Coffee and tea arrived quickly, food was replenished, and tables were cleared without delay. Special requests were handled when possible, and returning guests were greeted warmly.
Housekeeping and Maintenance
Housekeeping generally maintained clean towels, bedding, and shared areas. Maintenance staff also dealt with refrigerator and bathroom-light problems. A wet elevator floor in the morning created a slipping risk and required better monitoring.
Hotel Schlicker Parking and Transportation
Hotel Courtyard Parking
The hotel has a limited number of private spaces in its courtyard, and advance reservation is necessary. The entrance, turning area, and individual spaces are narrow. Large cars are difficult to maneuver, and stopping outside the main entrance to unload luggage is not easy. First-time visitors may also find the parking entrance difficult to locate. Drivers should confirm vehicle size limits and space availability before arrival.
Public Transportation
Marienplatz station provides convenient S-Bahn and U-Bahn connections. Munich Central Station is only a few stops away, and the airport can be reached directly by S-Bahn. Since most Old Town attractions are within walking distance, a car provides little benefit during the stay. Arriving by train is the easier option.
Hotel Schlicker Advantages and Disadvantages
Main Advantages
The location between Marienplatz and Viktualienmarkt is the hotel’s strongest feature. Breakfast is extensive, and staff are usually friendly and helpful. Courtyard-facing rooms can be quiet despite the central setting. Larger rooms, junior suites, and the apartment are useful for families and longer visits.
Main Disadvantages
The smallest single and double rooms are very cramped. Street-facing rooms may be affected by restaurant noise, church bells, and early delivery traffic. A limited number of rooms had mold, sewer odors, dirty carpets, or slow sink drainage. Mattress and pillow comfort varied. The courtyard parking area is difficult to access and unsuitable for many large vehicles.
Overall Satisfaction and Return Visit
Hotel Schlicker is a stronger choice for travelers who prioritize location, breakfast, and short walking distances than for guests expecting a large contemporary room. A larger courtyard-facing double room or junior suite would be the preferred option for a future stay. Traveling by S-Bahn or U-Bahn is recommended instead of driving.

From Marienplatz and Viktualienmarkt

The walk from Munich Central Station takes about 20 minutes along the main shopping streets. A faster option is the S-Bahn to Marienplatz, followed by a short walk.
