- Randy· November 2nd, 2024We were there mid week Sep 24-25 at Hotel Senator with Max and team. They took really good care of us during our visit to the Oktoberfest Tents. We loved the close proximity to entrance and had a fabulous time with the entire group. The Thirsty Swagman is the best and takes real good care of your needs. (Oliverio grp)Show more
Thirsty Swagman commented on this reviewThank you so much Randy for your great feedback and review, this is appreciated! Your group, the legendary Oliverio group, was amazing - stay thirsty for beer!
Trip date: August 2024 - BLBill· October 20th, 2024I'm a Travel Agent and I brought a group of 11 to Munich from Florida and NY. We stayed at The Hotel Senator, the 3 star hotel. It was great. First, It was about a 5 minute walk to the Oktoberfest grounds and a 1 block walk to bus that takes you to all the sightseeing spots. The Hotel rooms were just fine. The ONLY thing that we didn't care for is that there was no A/C , but it was cool out so we just opened the windows. And if pillows are important to you, bring your own. The breakfast was very good. We did enjoy the Hotel bar as well. The Thirsty Swag Employees were wonderful. They met us each day in the lobby, made sure that we had what was needed and got us to our "tent" and reserved table. I was not aware that we all got vouchers for -2- liters of Beer, and a lunch or dinner voucher . That was a very good perk as each Liter of Beer was at least 15 euros plus tip. We had our own photographer taking group photos for us. The Representatives made sure that we had everything that we needed and were having fun (I think) right along side of us. The owner , Kenneth, was there as well ensuring that all was well and we were enjoying ourselves. I am already canvassing my clients to get them to go to Munich in 2025. If you are going to Oktoberfest, I highly recommend The Thirsty Swagman!Show moreThirsty Swagman commented on this reviewBill, THANK YOU so much for this amazing feedback and 5-star review, especially coming from a travel agent.

- KLKaren· October 10th, 2023The first real vacation we have taken in 49 years! It was fantastic. Kenneth was always great help if we had questions, answered quickly & completely. The Hotel Senator is a very nice hotel. It's small and maybe not as modern as some but very clean, the staff super friendly and the location is fantastic. We will return there in 2025.
