The cheapest hotels within walking distance, in the S-Bahn area, and less than an hour away.

It's hardly surprising that hotel prices can soar to unprecedented heights during Oktoberfest. However, the fact that you can stay overnight for less than €70 within a radius of less than an hour by train might surprise many. We've looked at a few bargains that are still available in August 2025. We only considered hotels with at least good ratings and only rooms with private bathrooms. We chose the relatively affordable September 28th to October 2nd as our travel period, which also fits well with the expected crowds. While we aren't affiliated with any of the hotels, we do receive a commission if someone books there. In this respect, this article is advertising.

Within Walking Distance of Theresienwiese

Staying overnight near Theresienwiese is a luxury that many appreciate. Accordingly, the prices of hotels, mostly located south of the main train station, are high. Our map of the 58 hotels within walking distance of Oktoberfest provides an overview. You won't find anything under €300 per night in this location – except for a dorm room. Hotel Margit and Meininger Hotel at least come close to €300.

Near An S-Bahn Station

If you don't mind using the S-Bahn to get to the Oktoberfest, you can save quite a bit of money. At the Maseven, one of the reliable bargains in eastern Munich, near the exhibition center, you can still stay for less than €150 per night. The hotel is within walking distance of the Riem S-Bahn station. The fact that it's served by the S8 line has the great advantage of frequent service – until late into the night.

Less Than An Hour Away

If you don't want to spend much more or even less than €100 per night, you can certainly do so, but you'll have to accept a travel time of up to an hour to stay within walking distance of a train station. Rosenheim can be an attractive option for this, but the hotels near the train station in Landshut are even cheaper. We were actually surprised that the B&B Hotel and the Ibis Budget there can be booked for around €70 per night.
