We stayed at the Premier Inn München Airport Süd, expecting a convenient and comfortable base near Munich Airport. While the hotel is modern, clean, and well-maintained with pleasant facilities, two significant issues marred our experience.
First, despite “Munich Airport” in the name, getting to the airport is neither fast nor convenient. There’s no airport shuttle (which we knew before booking), but more frustratingly, there’s no direct bus. Your options are a costly Uber or taxi (~€30) or a cumbersome 40-minute journey involving a bus to Hallbergmoos station and then the S8 train to the airport. Ironically, staying in central Munich and taking a direct train might be quicker. This lack of connectivity feels misleading for an airport-branded hotel.
Second, there's no air conditioning at night. The room was cool in the afternoon, suggesting the facility has some AC functionality. However, at night, only a circulation fan operated (confirmed by the front desk). This left our room extremely hot and uncomfortable, especially for kids.
