Firstly, what you need to know about this hotel is that it is right in the middle of the late-night party scene in Munich with loud noise going on till the early hours of the morning.
However, the worst aspect of our stay was the fact that the AC did not work or, more likely, was restrained as there is not enough capacity for the building. The first 2 nights it was unbearably hot in the room with just a trickle of cool air coming out of the AC. You HAVE to open the windows or you will boil and then you have to contend with the noise from the streets (and we were on the 11th floor).
And, the next part is somewhat surreal, just after the noise from the streets subsides (around 3 or 3.30), at first light (4am) a cockerel starts loudly announcing the dawn and goes on for hours. We discovered after being very confused that there is an urban farm on the roof of an adjacent building.
After the second night of no sleep we discovered that the fan in the AC only kicks in at exactly 7am, so it is obviously on a timer. I suspect they prioritise AC for the various bars and restaurants in the building.
We, of course, complained and were moved to a different room on the opposite side of the building. The AC still operated the same (fan comes on at 7am) but this was a cooler room and was just cool enough to sleep in.
