Their economy rooms offer a single (Einzelzimmer) or Double (DoppelZimmer) without a WC and Shower. But, the rooms have a washbasin. The rooms are small – really small. No TV’s either, but then again, who would want to waste their time watching TV in Munich?
The Standard room has its own Bathroom, shower, WC, hairdryer, telephone, desk, and TV. It’s bigger too – they 14 m2 versus 9 m2 – square meters.
If you are a light sleeper, be careful about staying here – lots of pedestrian noise and sometimes delivery and garbage trucks in the morning. And, church bells – lots and lots of church bells! Still, the location is awesome!

fantastic, I figured as much with my poor German… but thanks for the sizes, thats a big help. I am not worried about the noise, I lived in brooklyn and could sleep through the fin du monde.
Thats for the picture too, Im getting so excited… Ive been wanting to visit das Vaterland for years!

I’m sure you’ll have a great time. BTW, the picture is of the alley between Hotel am Markt on the right hand side, and the Bratwursthertzl on the left. Bratwurstherzel is a great place for…, you guessed it…, bratwurst! They have a big grill out on the open in the second room – try to sit there. Another tip is to order a “Helles vom Holzfass” – that will get you a lager beer from the Wooden Barrel. Real beer people swear they can tell the difference! Also, if you are there on a Sunday walk straight down that alley and across the street called, “Tal” you’ll see the Weisses Brauhaus just on the left. Sunday mornings around 9 – 10, the place is hopping for Fruehschoppen – go in an order Weissbier and Weisswurst. With the Weisswurst, peel the skin off and soak it in sweet mustard and have a pretzel with it. There’ll be music playing and people having a great time! Don’t miss it! Viel Spass!

booked the hotel, we got the standard room for 3 nights for 327E the economy room was 100E cheaper but my wife having her own shower is priceless.
Our train out on Sunday is at 930 or so so i think we’re going to miss the brunch, but im sure we’ll have plenty of other time to eat/drink
I cant wait

We had an amazing time, thanks for all your help The hotel for where it was (2 min from Marienplatz) was very affordable and nice 109E/night. The room was very clean, and the tiny bathroom was all we needed. If I ever went back with just the guys, the economy room would be fine, as I never saw anyone in the shared shower.
We spent most nights at the bratwursthertzl where we met some great characters, drank plenty of beer, learned about the “schnitt” The Hofbrauhaus was crazy but we met some real nice people. The market was also a lot of fun. It was funny how early all the bars closed, one night we went out to the internet cafe to print out some tickets we needed and we passed a bar along the way that was PACKED kareoke and all, when we returned back at 11:30pm it was closed.
All in all we had a great time, we went to another bar on a small alley off of Tal and actually got beers in steins. It was a blast.
I recommend this trip to anyone

Munich is so much fun and the people are great! I’m glad you had a good time and found the Hotel am Markt to your liking. For anyone else reading these posts – a “Schnitt” is a glass of beer that is a little beer and a lot of foam – it’s cheaper that a normal beer and is typically ordered when you are just about ready to call it a night, but not quite. It is sometimes jokingly referred to also as “Rentner Bier” because a lot of retirees order it in order to save money.
You’re right about the early closing times – the Hofbrauhaus closes before midnight and so do most places. However, there are many places that are open, you just need to ask someone where the action is. Since it is normal to start drinking early and imbibe throughout the day, you don’t really need to stay out until 3:00 AM!
