67%Pension Lugano

We arrived and were told there were no double bed rooms, so we were given a room with 3 twin beds, a broken door, and no soap in the bathroom. Easily the worst lodging experience I have ever had.

Room was fine with ensuite. Location OK but in the red light area. No atmosphere. Average staff but good room. Fine for a place to sleep.

Pension Lugano is just a place to sleep. They have high prices according to a pension.I have stayed in much better places in lower prices. And if u dont leave the room at exact time 11:00 if you are even 5 minutes late a man can go in your room with a key for cleaning! You can go there if u...

Room gets quite hot, forcing you to open the window, which makes it too noisy. Location is close to the station and a short walk to the town centre, however it's surrounded by strip clubs, and feels like you're in the ghetto. The room is okay considering the price, however isn't really somewhere... more Room gets quite hot, forcing you to open the window, which makes it too noisy.

The room is okay considering the price, however isn't really somewhere to take your girlfriend. The few surrounding restaurants are poor, so I'd advise grabbing breakfast from Haupbahnhof, then eating before you come back for the night!close

The staff were as nice as any hotel staff can be and the location is good. Price wise you dont get much for your money, but maybe thats Munich in genernal.i thought it was worth around 50 euros only.

Although thankfully the following day when I taked to the Pension staff I was informed that they had made a mistake in my room allocation and to compensate for the mix up where moving me to a double beded ensuite room (with added security) for the remainder of my stay. Otherwise everything was fine, even though the Pension is located in one of Munich's more colourful districts.close

The hostel is only two blocks from the main train station. This is very convenient. However to get there, you had to pass several adult stores and strip clubs. This was very off putting. Therefore we spent very little time there.

We were very impressed by the cleanliness of the shared bathrooms particularly - often a concern in hostels! A low fun rating is actually an advantage for us as we are only interested in SLEEP at hostels and high fun often equals high noise, so give me peace over fun any day!

The shower handle was also broken off and having a 1kg shower handle attempt to fall on your foot at 6am isnt very fun. It took 10 minutes for the hot water to actually run. There is no elevator to get up to any of the rooms so if you have heavy luggage this isnt recommended.The carpet was dirty and filled with grit, there were handprints in dirt on our walls. The beds were nice and comfortable and that was a good thing about the room.The sheets were also clean. The actual location itself is a different story. We were stuck in the "Red Light" discrict, surrounded by strip clubs, sex shops and prostitutes at night. That caused us to not sleep well due to us waking up at 3am to the clicking of some girls heels EXTREMELY LOUDLY. I would not reccomend this room to anyone honestly. It was 42 degrees and not at all a comfortable stay. There was no air condition nor fan at all. THE HOST WAS VERY VERY NICE keep in mind. He proudly fixed and accomodated everything for us.close

The one thing the maid here cleans is the bed linens, so at least I could sleep without my skin crawliing the whole tiime, but this is one of the worst places I have ever stayed and the room price was a complete ripoff.close
