When I went to Munich, Germany to celebrate the Oktoberfest, although I had booked a hotel room as early as June, it was difficult to find a room during the Oktoberfest. Not only was the hotel hard to find, the room rate would also be doubled, so I came to Munich for the first time. One day, I stayed at a hotel in a business district far away from the city, but relying on the developed railway system in Germany, there are subways and streetcars near the hotel, and the itinerary is quite smooth and unobstructed. Wendy also quite likes this simple environment. In the business hotel, remember to buy supper and drinking water in the city before returning to the hotel. (→Check price)

There is a simple gym on the 5th floor. Other than that, there are no other public facilities. The reception hall is free of charge. All-you-can-drink coffee is available, and the drinks in the refrigerator in the room are free of charge. It is very generous, but the wireless internet can only be used for one hour per day. If it exceeds it, it will cost 5 euros/day. This can be very tricky. , Should allow many business travelers to pay to use it.
Visiting Munich during the Oktoberfest and fully felt the power of high prices during the peak season. This time, I booked a three-night double room (Guest Room) without breakfast and a 10% early bird discount. The price per night is about NT$5,600. Compared to about 2,500~3,000 yuan per night in the off-season (including breakfast), the price has doubled. This shows that a room is hard to find in the peak season during the Oktoberfest. If you come on weekdays, this hotel is considered a convenient hotel. , It can be included in the consideration list.
This business hotel fully implements the German user payment principle. In addition to the Internet fee, it includes: 22 euros per person for breakfast, 18 euros for daily parking, 55 euros for airport shuttle fees, etc. It seems that there are a lot of additional charges, but If you don't need it, you won't spend the money.

Conclusion
German cities are mostly centered on the Central Station. It is the most convenient to live in a hotel near the Central Station, but the Central Station is also the area where there is the most colossal area. For some people, there may be a sense of fear. If you have such concerns At this time, it is recommended to choose a suburban hotel far away from the central station. The environment and crowds will be relatively simple. In Germany, where the railway traffic is developed, the transportation of the itinerary is not too troublesome.
When I first came into contact with the service staff of German restaurants, I felt that although Germans are not a smiling face, they have a very kind and serious service attitude. As long as they are patient and clearly describe their needs, they will seriously help solve them and serve them. If there is a misunderstanding, it will probably come from the issue of communication and handling principles between the two parties. If you can assist in the handling, you will try your best to help, and you will just say no if you violate the principles.
When staying at the hotel this time, Anya was allergic to the respiratory tract in the middle of the night and had a severe cough. She went to the counter late at night to discuss the possibility of changing to a carpetless room and providing soothing over-the-counter medications, but was rejected because all rooms have carpets, and it is reasonable not to give drugs randomly Refused, but in the end, the counter will search the 24-hour pharmacy for late-night service, help call taxis to pick up and drop off, and properly handle the needs of the tenants. This is the principle and way of doing things for the Germans!
