Pros: Massive room | Comfortable bed | Power sockets were in the right places | Window and balcony onto local area below | Kitchen including benchtop space and coffee| Westkreuz station at doorstep (though this is the side with stairs; the other side with the lifts is a further 5 min walk away with street crossings) | Shops (including groceries) and restaurants downstairs too

Cons: No reception at all on weekends except Oktoberfest (though there is an emergency phone number) - should have been notified prior to check-in | Old school key | Westkreuz station not quite as well serviced after hours like Pasing station

Staff super friendly, minutes from the s-bahn, I would return there anytime. Nothing fancy but good value for money

The reception staff were friendly and helpful.
Apartment was clean and everything worked. Had a corner room with a balcony and another window, was helpful to try to get a breeze through the room as weather was scorchio.
Parking under the hotel, reasonably priced.
For me the best part was the S-Bahn station right out the front.
With the doors/windows shut you dont hear the trains.

Transportation into the center of the city is two minutes away from the door. We arrived on a Saturday, when the desk was closed, so we had to figure out the procedure to get our key, but once we were in, it was a perfect stay.

Good location

Pluses - one minute from the S-bahn station where you can connect to everywhere; very spacious; great little kitchen

Minuses - the bathroom often smelled like sewage (maybe a drain trap problem); I arrived on a Sunday and the reception was closed, it took a half hour with hotels.com to find the code to open the key box

Very nice hotel, clean, good breakfast with excellent service. Close to train station, restaurant and grocery store nearby. I’ll stay in this hotel if given the chance to visit Munich for another October fest. Give the 5* rating.

Very close to train station

Was there for one night. The hotel is just outside the train station. About 15 min by S-Bahn. The hotel should put signage outside on road. It was a bit time consuming to locate it. The parking is on the road behind. The hotel should inform parking address in booking confirmation to save time.

Sehr schöner Aufenthalt

Wir waren begeistert vom Hotel. Die Lage ist einwandfrei, direkt an der S-Bahn, von der man aber nichts hört. Sehr sauber und sehr nettes Personal. Die Schlüsselübergabe am Wochenende bei geschlossener Rezeption ging einwandfrei. Bei Anreise am Wochenende unbedingt vorher kurz anrufen und einen Code für die Schlüsselbox vereinbaren. Ging alles super. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder. P.S. Lieben Dank auch nochmal an die liebe brasilianische Frühstücksbetreuung.

The Forum is always an excellent place to stay. I've stayed here many times over the past 10 years and is always an excellent experience. Always clean and a very helpful staff. The hotel is situated right next to a train station which is the transfer station for many lines, giving you the ability to travel anywhere in the Munich area with relative ease. Schiller's Bistro is right next door and is a great place to have a beer and good food. The Forum is highly recommended.

We would absolutely go back to this property. It was only a few stops (five I think) from the Central Station. You literally walked out of the subway and the building is right there in front of you. The ladies who work reception are so friendly! They will literally do anything you need to make your stay complete. We booked a suite -- it was literally six to seven times the size of your standard European hotel room. Large bedroom, nice den with couch, chairs, table to eat, kitchen with large fridge, stove and microwave, and large foyer with cabinet. The included buffet breakfast is great, and again the service is impeccable! Go to Gastehaus -- you will not be disappointed.

great place to stay, one of the best values in town. 15 mins S-Bahn ride to the central train station, clean and spacious rooms and generous breakfast buffet. The rooms have a kitchenette, so the place is especially suitable for longer stays. I have been going to the Gaestehaus for almost 30 years and I don't see a reason to stay in any other place in Munich

Great place to stay

Quick and friendly check-in (my son wanted the large bed in the bedroom so the sofa bed was set up for me in the living room - sofa was, to my surprise, comfortable.) The kitchen was small but more than adequate for our visit (we just made hot water and used fridge for beer and some meat/cheese).
There's far more to this extended stay apt. than a beer convenience rating, but for those curious what's readily available:
Oktoberfest beer in nearby pub 0.5 L for 3.2 euro
Basement beer machine 0.5 L for 1.5 euro
Aldi (2 block walk) good: 0.5 L for 0.80 euro + .25 euro deposit
cheap but OK: 0.5 L for 0.30 euro + .25 euro deposit

I stayed for one night during the Bauma Fair. The hotel is close to the station which is an advantage however I got a room facing the rail track so that was a bit disturbing. Everything else was good enough.

Nice and convenient hotel.

Stayed here 3 days for Oktoberfest, and really enjoyed the hotel. It was across the street from the train stop, and only 12 minutes from downtown. Our friends stayed downtown, and paid over twice as much - with no breakfast!

Både bra och dåligt.

Det mesta var bra, lätt incheckning, trevligt rum men synd med heltäckningsmatta i varma rum. Det var även gamla, halvtrasiga dörrhandtag på flera dörrar. Badrummet var fräscht och kändes nytt. Tyvär riktigt gammalt trött kylskåp och kaffebryggare saknades även om det stod att det skulle finnas. Läget var utmärkt, nära till butiker samt kommunikation.

Das Hotel Gästehaus Forum am Westkreuz zeichnet sich aus durch seine exzellente Lage direkt gegenüber dem Eingang zum S-Bahnhof. Im und um das Hotel herum war es angenehm ruhig. Alles ist in der Nähe, was nötig ist. Auch eine gute Gastronomie ist unmittelbar vor dem Hotel zu finden. Ein- und Auschecken verlief schnell und ohne irgendeine Komplikation. Die Frau an der Rezeption und die Frau, die für die Reinigung zuständig war, machten einen sehr guten Job. Ich habe sehr gut geschlafen und das geräumige Zimmer genossen. Bei Gelegenheit gerne wieder.

Charme der 70er-Jahre

Große Zimmer mit Kochnische Balkon, allerdings stark in die Jahre gekommen. Ein Ärgernis war der Fernseher. Sowohl Strom- als auch Antennenkabel waren herausgerissen, und der Apparat musste von Grund auf neu konfiguriert werden, was ich in knapp zweistündiger Kleinarbeit auch irgendwann hinbekommen habe. Pluspunkte sammelt diese Unterkunft vor allem wegen des außergewöhnlich netten Personals an der Rezeption, die leider nicht durchgängig besetzt ist.

In dieser gepflegten, sauberen Unterkunft habe ich mich rundum wohl gefühlt, ein wirklich tolles Appartement!! Besonders hervorheben möchte ich das etwas breitere Einzelbett mit einer super bequemen Matratze. Des Weiteren hat der Check-in ohne Anwesenheit des Personals ganz prima geklappt. Toll ist ausserdem, dass mann/ frau die S-Bahn direkt vor der Türe hat.
