About Holiday Inn Express München City Centre

Located in charming Au-Haidhausen, this hotel offers something most budget options don't - a genuinely local neighborhood feel. Every morning, you'll grab that included breakfast alongside Munich residents heading to work, which I find refreshingly authentic. The S-Bahn connection to Hackerbrücke puts you at Oktoberfest's back entrance in minutes, avoiding the main crowd crush at Hauptbahnhof.

Getting to Oktoberfest

Holiday Inn Express München City Centre is 2.2 km from the Theresienwiese. The best way to reach Oktoberfest is by U-Bahn or S-Bahn. The journey takes about 11 minutes by public transport.
