Kalvarienberg

very convenient for the opera

This property was perfect for us staying 1 night in Munich. We flew in from the US arrived around 8am, left our bags with the friendly hotel staff, walked to a cafe and had amazing coffee and pastries, walked a bit further to the old city area which is full of shopping, food, old buildings including the old city hall on Marienplatz with the mechanical clock "glockenspiel" show twice per day, and several churches and the public market area where we tried herring salad and a lovely bottle of Stellenbosch Shiraz Rose at Nordsee Seafood (friendly staff), then we headed back to the Drei Lowen as we were told our rooms would be ready by noon, and they were! After a perfect shower and nap which was easy because the hotel is very quiet and the blackout curtains work wonders as well as the Air Conditioning, we walked to the old city area again for dinner at the classic Augustiner Stammhaus restaurant. Chef's Kiss for the delicious foods we ordered along with an Augustiner Weissbier... yum! After walking back to the hotel, we had a drink in the adorable bar and lounge area before getting a great night's sleep. As with most old cities, there is much construction happening everywhere. The street on which the Drei Lowen is located is no exception. We did not hear it and were not bother by it at all. The local streets are not the cleanest but we felt safe in the area. We were able to walk about 4 minutes from the hotel to catch a train to Regensburg which was a lovely ride.

The hotel was in a great location, the staff couldn't have been more helpful and the room was comfortable and clean. We'd certainly stay again.
