Clean and spacious with bathroom in rooms, not down the hall like most hostiles. Had laundry room though a bit inconvenient.
On the first day they gave a terrible room which was dirty and next to the door. Very loud in the night bathroom has a smell. But we informed them after the first night and Tanvi the staff was very polite and gave us a better room which was very clean

Give it a swerve...
The service is terrible. They are over charging tourists, pure scam. Its 7 euros for 50cl beer, yet they charge 8 and don't tell customers it is a 1 euro deposit for a plastic glass. I stayed at a&o vienna and the staff and service was fantastic....if this is a franchise, your team at Munich Liam are really letting the brand down....extremely disappointing!
The place is not in the center that was the only negative thing about the hostel. The employees are really kind and when we had any problem they helped quickly. Making check in-out processes are really easy and fast. The room was clean and also after checking out we were allowed to leave out luggages till 9 pm.

Disliked: Amenities
Small rooms, hot without a fan windows opened but would open toward the patio downstairs where people smoked and it would all come into the room, but without the open window it was hot in the room. Loud in the halls at night and the door kept rattling whenever someone down the hall would open their door. Kept us ipyat night. Otherwise it was a convenient location for travel
What we expected for a hostel. Clean room, decent breakfast, helpful staff. No issues.

The room was enough comfortable. A bit noisy. The bathroom was essential. A bit expensive for the services offered.
More like a prostitution place the a motel or a hostel. No parking, no air conditioning, infestation of insects. Great cold water though! Not a good place for family.
We didn’t sleep the two days we stayed and left a day early. The hotel is on the entry to the main train station. You can’t shut the window as there was no ventilation. Your given one small hand towel, beds are awful.
Only positive is the breakfast staff was very friendly.
We had to make our own beds up - on the bunk beds. There was very little air circulation and it was hot. We had to pay a deposit to get a fan for the room. But the staff was kind, friendly and helpful.
This is my second time staying here and I have to say, a lot has changed and not for better. Rooms are good, we had a private room and it was clean. The noise was manageable, however, at around 4 am a guy kept banging on the door of the dormitories opposite to us because he had "forgotten his key". One of us talked to the guy and told him to go to the reception to fix this issue but the guy wouldn't listen. Which brings me to a bigger concern... How is it that one can enter a building and go into any floor without ever needing a key??. major safety concern here!
But the worst thing wasn't this incident with the guy. Upon my arrival, the check- in machines were not working properly. After communicating this to the staff, a very rude guy insisted saying that it was "the way to check in". The Expedia code the one that begins with 7 and the one that the "machine asked for" wasn't working, and the guy handed a "new code" to us... I keep asking myself, if the process doesn't work with the machine, shouldn't the staff then do the process manually?? I'm totally disappointed in the check-in experience at the A&O Hostels. First in Berlin and now here at Laim in Munich.
That being said, the guy that processed our check out was totally fine.
Since it's more of a lottery regarding professional and competent staff I'm not sure if I would stay here again.
Very nice facilities. Super nice for groups or families because you have your own space with bathrooms. Very high quality hostel and close to the train station.
