I paid a very reasonable rate for the hotel room (about $60pn) which is unbelievable for Munich. It's about 3 minutes walk from the Augustiner, a small internet cafe/convenience store and a kebab shop. Everything I need to survive for a good weekend!
The train station is a little bit of a hike - about 10mins by foot, not so good when there's still inches of snow underfoot though trams are closer.
The hotel itself was clean and warm. They refused a credit card as the room was on a special rate (meaning I had a nice long walk to the nearest cashpoint about four blocks down the street).
Breakfast is normal bavarian fare, with some continental thrown in too. Tea water is still luke warm (go coffee), but hey, it's Europe not the UK...
Reception staff speak fair to good english. The staff in the breakfast room have a good knowledge of internation waving of hands to make themselves understood!
Rooms were clean but basic - perfect for a short stay when you're not in your room. The TV channels were mainly static, but if you navigated up about 30 channels you started finding a few watchable channels - but with the numerous pubs and resturants what are you watching TV for?!
Most of the furniture is basic wood, it's not built for comfort (first hotel room I've had with only wooden benches as seats) and the floor is tiled. This means the whole hotel is a noise trap. If you yourself are noisy or plan to come back late at night, I warn you, the guests will not be pleased ;- )
If on the otherhand you like to sleep in, the cleaning staff come round about 7-9am and clatter and clunk about.
If they had a bit of carpet to reduce the noise it'd be the best place to stay in munich = D
