Frommer's Review
A 10-story, government-rated four-star member of the Arabella chain, this hotel is personalized and intimate. The midsize to spacious rooms were last renovated in 1996, but are still well maintained. Bedrooms come in three different grades, prices based on altitude (the higher, the more expensive), decor, and the presence of robes. The more expensive rooms evoke a country-house aura in decor. The cheaper rooms are on the lower three floors and are the most timeworn, but are sufficiently comfortable. The location on the western side of Munich is near the fairgrounds where Oktoberfest is staged. The steel-and-glass structure is a bit too institutional for our tastes, attracting E.U. business clients and a lot of tour groups.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
