We were able to spend 2 nights in this beautiful hotel. We were particularly impressed by all the staff, without exception, who were always friendly and very attentive.Our room was fantastic with a great view. The room service tidied up our room with attention to detail (e.g. a bookmark on my book).The breakfast was one of the best I've ever had.Lots of choice and very high quality, including champagne and freshly squeezed orange juice.Everyone here is doing a great job.We'd love to come back.

Upon arrival in the city, we stopped by to drop our luggage first before walking around town and finding something to eat. To our surprise, our room is ready, and we’re allowed to do an early check in.The staffs are really friendly, like the one on night shift that helped us happily with our request of warm milk after a rainy day outside, and also the Spa team whom are always so informative and ready to give us a little tour of where is which.The staff on the breakfast are also really attentive, providing us with options of warm drinks/juices/water/breakfast champagne (upon arrival to our table) also they provide fresh waffles/pancakes/french toast/ Benedict Avo-toast alongside the various eggs options.It’s needless for me to talk about the quality of the items they provided, because I’m sure it’s already highly expected with Rocco forte hotels reputation.I’m just happy to be able to share this wonderful experience, and saddened of our short trip duration.Also my only tip would be for the Bar information hours to be provided somewhere, because upon arrival I mistake the Lounge GoogleMaps location as the Hotel Bar, and sadly we didn’t get the chance to visit the night bar because of the false closing hours I found.

A really great hotel in the heart of Munich. We were greeted extremely friendly and courteously on the day of our arrival. The reason for our two active trip was our wedding anniversary. The hotel upgraded the room and surprised us with champagne and a patisserie plate! The staff was extremely lovely and extremely accommodating. The attention to detail really becomes visible here when even the charging cables you bring with you are neatly secured on the nightstand with a Velcro cable tie. Our room was made up again every evening during dinner.The restaurant and breakfast are really unique. Here too, the staff can only be praised.We will definitely come back and can really recommend Charles to everyone.
