Good places to stay just outside of Munich

Hi there,

I'm spontaneously heading to Oktoberfest for some good healthy hedonism and need to plan...fast

I realise all the central hotels will be booked up (or insanely overpriced), so what I was thinking of doing was finding a place with a good rail connection just outside the city- a suburb perhaps that is not too distant. I'm driving to Munich from Cologne and would like to find a comfortable 3 or 4 star hotel where I can park my car, jump on a train and get to where the tents are with minimum hassle.

Can anyone recommend an area I should focus on for my hotel search?

Thanks!

I put people up a the ... yes ... Killer Gasthof - good place, recommended

About 5 km from Grünwald and the tram station, or in Grunwald search for hotels - the Alter Wirt is quite good (small but clean rooms)

Edit: if you don't want to drive - Alter Wirt is a better choice with the tram.

In the heart of Munich and still not dirtily expensive and 10 mins to the Wiesn by U Bahn @ 125 Euros per night http://www.accorhotels.com/accorhotels/fic...che_hotel.shtml

FYI available thru this weekend...bookmearly

Sorry...consumed for the weekend by the time I typed out the reply.

I always thought Paris or Rome where pretty nice places ( lots of hotels there), you may have to plan your taxi trip well in advance though!

I considered those but then got a better deal in Athens; 30 EUR per night.

My taxi driver is a former rally driver.

Have fun in athens, it was for the best anyway the rail is striking and it is a real pain in the ass getting in and out of the city right now.
