My grandson and I recently had the good
fortune to stay at the Hotel Rothof Bogenhausen (https://www.hotel-rothof.de/en/index.html) while on a recent trip to Munich. I was looking
for a hotel that was not a chain hotel and that had a local feel; that was
clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced; that was located near friends whom
we were visiting; that had a nice breakfast; and that was near public
transportation. On the basis of reviews and consulting with our friends,, I
chose the Hotel Rothof. It exceeded all my expectations, thanks to the friendly
and efficient team led by Hotel Manager Isolde Wolf-Speitzer and Assistant
Manager Ahmed Ismail.
This four-story hotel is located in a
park in the Bogenhausen area of Munich, and has its own beautiful sports
complex where guests can work out. Ground floor rooms open out onto a beautiful
green courtyard. Rooms on the next two floors have their own balconies.

The breakfast buffet at the Hotel Rothof
probably offers the best selection I’ve encountered at the many hotels
I’ve stayed at on four continents. There were at least fifty different
selections, including seven custom egg dishes, pastries, rolls, breads,
yogurts, cereals, fruits, cheeses, cold cuts, hot sides, vegetables, juices,
teas, coffees, etc. The eggs selections included a delicious Bavarian omelet
(with sausages, of course). In pleasant weather, you can enjoy breakfast
outside. I get hungry just thinking about it.
The hotel offers regular rooms and
apartment-style rooms with kitchenettes. The rooms were recently renovated.
Mine was kept spotlessly clean. The bed in my room was more comfortable than my
bed at home. Like most hotels these days, free Wi-Fi is included.
The hotel is about a five-minute walk
from the Richard-Strauss-Straẞe subway station , which is five stops away from
Odeonsplatz in the heart of the old city of Munich. Near the subway is a large
Aldi’s Süd supermarket. Every Thursday, there’s an interesting outdoor market at
Rosenkavalierplatz, about a five-minute walk from the hotel. The market stands
have beautiful selections of fruits and vegetables, meats, seafood, cheeses,
olives, etc. It’s worth a visit to see a shopping option that’s available to
locals. The hotel has its own restaurant and there are others a short walk
away.
Key
staff members speak fluent English, and all staff members are friendly and
professional.
