비욘드 바이 가이젤

We were very disappointed with our recent stay at Beyond by Geisel. The concept of the hotel is interesting in the form of a small modern boutique hotel located on the 5th and 6th floors of a building right in front on Marienplatz. In term of location it’s as good as it gets, very central within walking distance of most sites in central Munich. The entrance is a little difficult to locate however and is in a shared entrance on a side street, you have to locate the buzzer and go through a small unseemly corridor to get to the elevator. Unfortunately the concept of this hotel is also its main problem, all the rooms are directly connected to the common area and although the doors are heavy it’s extremely noisy. I’m actually amazed that no reviews are mentioning this issue because it’s major it’s pretty much a stay-ruining issue. You don’t hear a few louder noise YOU. CAN. HEAR. EVERYTHING. AT. ALL. TIME. Other reviews were pointing out that the street noise was effectively cancelled, that is partly true, however, it matters not since the street noise is completely drowned out by the noise coming at all times from the reception, kitchen, salon, library. I’m a light sleeper and I prepare accordingly but I was disturbed even with 35 db earplugs. Serious improvements need to be made in order to correct this issue. Other than that, the rooms are decently sized and comfortable and the furniture and floor are fitting with the decor and overall ambience. The bathroom is also of decent sized but in our deluxe room the shower was very small and since there’s no door on the shower the water was often soaking the shower mat. The breakfast service is quite redundant even with the gourmet menu it gets quite repetitive and their pastries are not great with croissant being consistently undercook. Service is attentive but can be inconsistent. Some of the personnel was very helpful and attentive other were courteous but nothing more. Overall I would say the service was adequate for this type of hotel but could be improved also.

This was our fifth stay at Beyond by Geisel and hopefully it won’t be my last. This great hotel has the best location in Munich, facing and 1 minute walk to the Marienplatz area where you will find historic landmarks, restaurants and shop all around you. What makes this hotel different is the team led by the wonderful lady (Maren). They will go out of their way to serve you with pleasant and welcoming smiles. Special thanks go to Jana and Tobias. The pleasant atmosphere that the team creates in this hotel is even contagious to hotel guests. Now, a description of the hotel. It is a small hotel with only 19 rooms on 2 floors (5th and 6th floor of a building). All rooms are modern and comfortable. If this is your first stay at the hotel then you need to coordinate with them in advance to help you reach the restricted hotel entrance. If you already know the door to the hotel, then you can press the button near the door to allow you in, then you can take the elevator to the 5th floor where you will be met by the reception. Once checked I, you can use you room key for the restricted entrance door. The breakfast is not a buffet style. But I would advise to have it included in your booking because it includes most of what you need, and it is really of a high quality. For the other meals, I would suggest the many restaurants around the hotel, and the staff will be pleased to suggest some and make bookings if needed. The hotel a can also arrange for transportation to Munich Airport (euros 115) each way. Because it is a small 5 star hotel, you will feel at home. We are already looking forward to our next stay at the Beyond.
