Staff, beautiful room, pool, great location. On the Saturday we requested the room to be cleaned when leaving around 1pm. Arrived almost 4 hours later and room had not been cleaned, had to request it again with tighter deadline as we needed to shower and go out for the evening. No water bottles were left in the room on the Saturday either, these had ti be requested.

the sauna, steamroom, pool and massage areas are only open until 8. If I am visiting Munich I am probably out shopping sightseeing and I will come back at lets say 7 p.m. So I would have only 1 hour to use the spa pool book a massage, that dissapointed me a lot. I ended up never using the sauna,pool areas. I booked this hotel because of their sauna and pool. :(

Vackert hotell med trevlig personal. Bra frukost och trevligt spa med stor pool. Bra att känna till att det inte finns särskilt många platser att jobba från om du behöver ta ett samtal eller möte utanför hotellrummet. Utöver ditt rum har du tillgång till det gemensamma och välbesökta området med soffor och fotöljer vid entrén.

Stay for two nights. Housekeeping: There was a sign in the room complimentary tea and coffee; however we only had coffee. I asked for tea and it came but the man asked me to pay for it. I explained and the problem was sorted. The next day more water was given but again no tea. Asked housekeeper who passed message on, but nothing turned up- no one appeared- bought some! Expect more from an hotel with this reputation. Additionally only one small shower gel and shampoo between two of us. I had to ask for more. I did appreciate the reception staff being extremely helpful and accommodating though. They organised and early check in as we had travelled over 48 hours and needed a rest thank you to them.

Dass Rocco Forte München (The Charles) ist ein ausgereichtes Spitzenhotel, das seinem Ruf und den sehr guten Bewertungen in jeder Hinsicht uneingeschränkt gerecht wird. Es ist eine Kleinigkeit: in den Fluren könnte öfter gelüftet werden.

The overall experience at this establishment was quite delightful, with a charming location and impeccable service that I would readily recommend to anyone. Upon entering our room, however, we encountered a minor hiccup as there was leftover food on the desk. A quick call to the front desk prompted an immediate and apologetic response. The staff was genuinely horrified and worked diligently to rectify the situation, providing a commendable effort to make up for the less-than-ideal welcome. While the staff's response was impressive, I did notice a lack of VIP access offers or room upgrade options during check-in. Despite having shortened our stay from two nights to one, we were assigned a classic room on the second floor with no notable view. Although I personally chose not to dwell on this, an upgrade with a better view would have been a welcomed enhancement to our experience. Nevertheless, the staff exhibited excellent training, contributing to an overall enjoyable short stay. My only qualm was the absence of any indication that this was a VIP access hotel, as no special offers were mentioned during check-in. It might be worthwhile for Expedia to cultivate stronger relationships with VIP access hotels to ensure that guests receive the anticipated special treatment that comes with such accommodations. Overall, a positive experience, but a more seamless integration of VIP perks would elevate the guest experience.

The first day we were put in a noisy room opposite a construction site and after complaining we were moved to another room the next day. Room is spacious and relatively clean. Unfortunately my sons AirPods disappeared from our room the night before we left and the hotel didn’t even have the decency to compensate our loss. Safe to say we will not stay there again. Breakfast was a good standard and service was ok. Concierge was very helpful and so were some members at the reception.

The staff makes this hotel. Super friendly and super professional. Many young people work here, it’s very refreshing to see. Great quality of food, especially the breakfast. Location is great. Very quiet, safe and you can walk to the city center. The design & look is not really up to date. It appears to be outdated and you also don’t get any nice or special views from your room or the restaurant.

Service is inconsistent. I had to call 3 or 4 times every time I made a request, be it from Room Service, Laundry, Etc. I had an incident with a rude waitress at the restaurant and requested to speak to the manager. He never acknowledge my request and simply sent amenities to my room (as if that solves anything). Overall, the experience was so negative that I decided to leave three nights before the end of my planned stay. This hotel definitely does not conform to the standards that you would typically find in other Rocco Forte hotels. Terrible experience.
