"Really welcoming little hotel, very central to train station, good selection of local bars, cafes etc, very clean, great WiFi coverage and a lift for less mobile guests which was really great."

"An un-planned two-night stay here, necessitated by the temporary failure of Lufthansa, was a pleasant experience as the hotel offered a large and comfortable room with great heating and good (if older) ensuite amenities."

1St Creatif Hotel Elephant - A Family-Run Munich Hotel in Art-Rich Maxvorstadt with Free WiFi

Located in Munich's cultural Maxvorstadt district, the 3-star 1St Creatif Hotel Elephant occupies a quiet side street near four Pinakothek art museums. This Munich hotel, established in 1970, contains 43 rooms equipped with hardwood floors, European wood furniture, flat-screen TVs with SKY channels, safes, and free WiFi. A continental breakfast buffet is served daily from 7:00 AM, and the hotel partners with a nearby restaurant offering guests a complimentary glass of house champagne. The 24-hour front desk provides multilingual staff service, luggage storage, and assistance with theater tickets and sightseeing tours. Safety features include fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and first aid kits. Creatif Hotel Elephant stands 2132.5 ft from the Stachus pedestrian area and within walking distance to landmarks including Karlstor (0.5 miles), Old Town Hall (1 mile), and Deutsches Museum (1 mile). The Hauptbahnhof station, offering bus, tram, underground, and city rail connections, is located nearby.

Pros

Situated in Munich's university district with direct access to four Pinakothek museums

Eight restaurants and cafes within 984.3 ft, including VI VADI Cucina Italiana and Cafe Kosmos

Multilingual staff available 24/7 for tour booking and travel assistance

Cons

25 miles from Munich Airport

1 mile from central attractions like St. Peter's Church and Church of Our Lady

“This family-run hotel strikes me as a practical base, especially for those arriving by train, given its proximity to the station. I noticed the free coffee/tea machine, which is a thoughtful touch, and the comfortable, generously sized rooms appear to offer good value; for me, this hotel balances convenience with a welcoming atmosphere.”

The breakfast buffet was amazing! There was a great selection of eggs, ham and cheese, not just jam and butter like budget hotels.

The main train station location is WONDERFUL. The person at reception greeted us very kindly and helped us.

The hotel is older. It appears somewhat poorly managed.
