Responded sir.

Hi Mike,
 
I saw your post about your friends place in Munich for Octoberfest this year.  I’ll be in Munich for the 2nd weekend of the festival (arriving Friday the 26th, leaving Monday the 29th.  Any chance of your friend still having vacancies in that 100 EUR range?  Sounds like a great price to be right in the middle of the action!  Also, is it a hotel or a hostel?
 
Any other advice pertaining to the festival is also appreciated as it will be my first trip to Octoberfest (and Europe).
 
Much Appreciated!
Jeff

I will check into it, then send you a PM.

i didnt have any luck getting that number to work.  If anyone has any luck let me know.  Ive confirmed a place 5 miles out but would much prefer walking distance if i could.

The same family has owned that place, and the local tel. number has been the same for over ten years.  I will find-out whazzup..

Just booked beds in the tent hostel.  It may not be much of a place or very close to the center of the city but for 18 euro a night we are gonna be in Munich for the festivities.  Also, if anyone is still trying, they have a few private rooms at 4 you munchen at fairly reasonable prices

i think my friends and i got the last 2 private rooms at 4you for our dates (28th – 1st)! WOOHOO! seems pretty close to the festivities! has anyone stayed there before? any tips?

What about a Hostel for CHEAP close to the Fest grounds??

4UMuenchen is very close, located across from the Hauptbahnhof.  The Munich.de visitors sight has released a list of affordable options for young folks (Hostels, B&B’s, Pensionen) – so please check it out.
