BEYOND by Geisel

非常好的位置和景觀

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.

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.
