Schwan Locke

This Aparthotel as great. Well furnished, great layout. You get more than a hotel room but not quite a full apartment but with all the ammenities like a small kitchen, living room and bedroom combined. Surprisingly it worked. There is also a shared laundry space which is welcome. The staff are very friendly, speak English and eager to help. Clean, comfortable, recommended.

I visited Munich for work from May 1-11, 2025 and stayed at Schwan Locke for the entirety of my trip. As a late 30’s woman traveling alone and to Munich for the first time, I wasn’t always sure what to do or how to navigate the city. The staff at Schwann Locke were so incredibly helpful, with everything from figuring out how to navigate things in my apartment that were new to me (laundry, lighting, towel rack), to finding restaurants, to purchasing train tickets, to helping me figure out what souvenirs I might being home as gifts. They were kind, patient, and knowledgeable about the city. While everyone on staff helped, I also want to single out a few members of their team who were especially supportive. First, Stefan and Demis were often present in the afternoons and evenings during my trip. Their level of hospitality cannot be matched, and I’ve never stayed anywhere in my years of international travel where I experienced such a high level of courtesy and care. In addition, Dejan, one of the staff members who regularly worked overnight, was equally hospitable and made me feel very safe staying there. Like Stefan and Demis, Dejan was also incredibly thoughtful in his recommendations and conversation. Schwan Locke has someone in the lobby area 24 hours a day, so if there is anything a guest needs or any issues, someone is there to help. From my experience, Dejan was there most evenings. While I didn’t frequently come home late, I did have some very early mornings and I was always pleasantly greeted. I also got help arranging an early morning taxi ride to the airport. Throughout my stay, I spent a decent amount of time in the lobby area and also saw the Schwan Locke staff interact with lots of other guests. They were always polite, professional, patient, and helpful. In other words, I don’t think my experience there was unique compared to other guests, and yet, it was incredibly unique to me when compared to other places I’ve stayed. Rooms were also wonderful.

Room had bright, modern decor, comfortable separate sitting area, good Wi-Fi, good soundproofing windows, adequate cooking and washing facilities. Location was very handy for subway station. We arrived early and asked to drop off luggage but were very pleased to be given access to room some hours ahead of normal check in time. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

I liked the modern design and comfort of the apartment. I slept like a baby, and it was really convenient for exploring the city. Additionally, the fact that it is quite close to the railway station was a bonus, as I had to travel to Nuremberg for a day.

Schwan Locke is in a very convenient location – just a 10-minute easy walk to Munich Central Station (HBF) and about 20–25 minutes on foot to the city center, while still being a peaceful place. It’s close enough to explore the city. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, featuring a kitchen for cooking, a cozy seating area, and everything you might need – including coffee and tea. The bed was also comfortable. Everything was very clean and well-maintained. We especially appreciated the large balcony terrace with the furniture and views over the city rooftops, and the building itself has a beautiful inner courtyard, adding to the relaxing atmosphere. The staff were friendly and accommodating. During our second stay, we arrived quite early, but we were kindly allowed to leave our luggage on-site. We were also upgraded to a better studio apartment than we originally booked for the second stay. It was great! The value for money was excellent. Still, we would highly recommend Schwan Locke as a great accommodation option in Munich Munich stay, I would definitely stay again.
