The hotel is perfectly located - about 5 minutes walk from the main station and about 15 minutes from Marienplatz, although you would have to walk past Augustiner Grobstatte en route, which you might not want to do as, for my money it's the best beer hall in Munich!
Rooms were good and clean, although the central location means that front rooms are quite noisy.
A word of criticism about breakfast - when booking, the email from the hotel advised an "American-style all you can eat breakfast buffet". In reality this consists of the standard cold meats, cheese, bread, fruit etc continental brekkie plus pretty solid scrambled egg and nice crispy bacon. Problem was when the bacon ran out, which it usually did by about 8.30 (breakfast ran until 10), that was it, no more despite requests. In fact one day there wasn't any bacon from the outset. If this had been a breakfast buffet in America, there would have been a riot, and what was on offer would have been better described as an all you can find buffet!
The hotel also offers a 2 for 1 meal plus free drink in the bar, but the guy running the restaurant claimed to know nothing of this, but when showed the email did honour the 2 for 1, although the free drink wasn't forthcoming. Bizarrely, you are not able to book meals or drinks to your room, as the hotel and restaurant seem to operate completely separately. I should say however, that the Italian style food was very good indeed,and they serve the most delicious pear schnapps in town.

Overall, the Deutsches Theater is pretty good value for it's central location.

My friend and I stayed at this hotel for Oktoberfest 2007. We booked months in advance, and while the rates were more expensive during this time (as they are for all hotels in Munich during Oktoberfest), they were not unreasonable.

All in all, we had a positive experience. The room was clean and a good size. The front desk folks were friendly, and the breakfast was decent. The best part of this hotel for us was its central location. It is within walking distance of the Oktoberfest fairgrounds, the train station, as well as the popular pedestrian shopping area. While there are a couple strip joints in the neighborhood, I wouldn't call the area seedy. My friend and I (both females) felt perfectly safe walking back to the hotel late at night by ourselves.

As some other reviewers have mentioned, there are two hotels with the same name, so be careful when reading reviews as some of the reviews for the other hotel show up for this one and vice versa. Again, this is the one on Landwehrstrasse.

I stayed in Deutsches Theater Hotel Landwerstr.18 in November,2007 for 3 nights. The hotel is in 10 min.walking distance from Central Railway station (Hauptbanhof). Marienplatz and Rathaus, Kaufingerstrasse (main shopping Srt.) is in walking distance. So, I had not to use local transport.
Reception was very polite. I had given city map and was not asked to show my passport.
Hotel is clean but old. The furniture is very used. Nevertheless, the room had cleaned every day and towels also changed every day. Spacious room, LCD TV, soft bed, big pillows, regulating of heating, excellent breakfast and nice receptionists - what else could wish true traveller? Some things could be better. The main problem was smell of cigarets from neighbour rooms. There is allowed smoking. Too little light in the room. Brightest place was bathroom. No safebox, no electronic keys.
I would recommend this Hotel to the real travellers without high level of needs. This Hotel will be suitable for midlevel travellers.

We had reservations for 6 nights the last week of September (Oktoberfest) and the rates were between 159 and 180 a night.
They had been cleaned but wasn't clean overall, the carpet was worn and there was a lingering odor. Both windows to the room were open when we arrived suggesting the room needed some airing out.....there was something lingering in the air throughout our stay.
The advertised internet facilities in your room mean that you have to buy a prepaid card from the shop next door to access the wireless. We did arrange a deal with a "sister" hotel 2 blocks away for free access.
Bathroom was on the small side and the room was average.
Overall it was an ok place to stay, if you don't plan on spending that much time in your room, which we didn't. Very close to the festival grounds, only a 3 or 4 block walk.
Pay mini bar in the room is stocked adequately, prices as usual are high.
The TV works and gets 24 channels, 5 of which are in English.

All of the staff spoke English except the housekeeper.
