BEYOND by Geisel

Super service in THE BEST location. We had Room 1 - a spacious suite with a view of Marienplatz, the glockenspiel and the beautiful Christmas market. So atmospheric and a great vantage point. The windows are well insulated & there was absolutely no noise from the square below. The hotel occupies the 5th floor of a modern building and the entrance is a little unusual and out of the way. But once inside, the hotel is wonderfully stylish and chic. A great bar area for tea coffee & snacks and some of the best breakfast omelettes we’ve ever eaten. Special thanks to Sarah and Gertrude for all their help with restaurant bookings and taxis. We would heartily recommend to anyone wanting a luxurious central location in Munich.

Great location, very kind staff and homey look and feel with amazing view if you choose one. Only negative is probably the entrance and way to access the hotel. Need to rethink the entrance for this price point. It was also hard to find the entrance.

From arrival, the staff were amazing. Our taxi dropped us at a nearby street and it was a very short walk to the hotel. The hotel was well signed posted and we were greeted at the door (by chance) and shown up to reception. (You will need to buzz to gain access). The staff helped with our bags and gave us a welcome drink while checking us in. The room (#5) was clean and comfortable and just off a seating area. There was minimal noise from fellow guests and outside throughout the night. Breakfast was delicious with a lot of a la carte choices. Overall, a great place to stay.

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.

What a wonderful place to stay, the team at Beyond By Geisel are amazing. They are warm, friendly and they really make you feel at home. We stayed in the junior suite with the Marienplatz view and it was amazing. Each day you have a direct view of the Glockenspiel. Maren, Dennis, Corina and the rest of the team are amazing. If you love high end service with a spectacular view, this is the hotel for you.

This is a unique hotel. The location right on the Marienplatz is amazing. The rooms are comfortable and the staff outstanding. It’s a small intimate hotel but it provides all the amenities of a five star hotel, including excellent room service. I hesitate to recommend as I want to keep this secret all to myself but they have earned more than five stars. Photos are of Junior suite with Marienplatz view. Well done to everyone at the hotel, danke!!
