We were in Munich for Oktoberfest. This was a nice facility but was about 45 minutes via bus and train to Munich. It took us a little bit to figure out the bus and train schedules, but once we did it was easy to get to and from Munich.

A beautiful small town. Easy walking distance to the castle & it's gardens (beautiful & worth visiting) as well as the site of the concentration camp (sobering but definitely worth the visit) Also very scenic country walks. Just be aware many places are closed on a Monday!

Dachau is too small to stay in for the night or nights ... Tour of the prisoner camp was usefull ... Tour guides are distorting the facts making Germany alot worse .. it was a prisoner camp .... during wars ... facts no more or less. Touring children or students is not a good idea ... it is a horrible idea to be introduced to violance at that age ... ... The castle was a great spot ... the old town ... need better infrastructure ... Food was merely to meet the hunger ... busses are available ... routes are confusing in such a small place . One time visit is more than enough.

Dachau is the place where the very first Nazi Concentration Camp has been built. It was an example camp for all other concentration camps within Nazi-Germany. I think every person should once visit Dachau or a different concentration camp city to understand in what luxury we live today and how cruel humans can be during times of war. And of course also to pay respect to all the victims from the Nazi era. What I also liked was the public transportation within Dachau. It is simple to get around. Especially the proximity to Munich is great.

Dachau is a historical town on the suburbs of Munich and is easily reached by public transport. Like virtually every German town it is clean and safe. I would recommend a visit to the Altstadt and the memorial to those who lost their lives in the concentration camp.

Unfortunately the owners of the restaurant in the front of the same building as the pension do not like the owners of the pension. So we got an earful twice by them because we were asking them questions. Olympia owners were not on site and left no specific guidelines for us/the guests. It was dark when we arrived and there was no sign outside to tell us where the pension was. So we asked the restaurant owners. They are sick of all the questions from people about the pension since they are not the owners of the pension. We finally saw that there was an 8 x 10 piece of paper on a door at the back of the building identifying it as Olympia. So we went up the steps and saw that there were numbers on doors and keys hanging in the doors, but we had no clue which one was ours. And, calling out for someone got no response. So, we started opening doors & found one that fit what we requested, so started to settle in. About 20 to 30 minutes later someone knocked on our door who could barely speak English and had no clue why we were there. She never identified herself but appeared to possibly be a cleaning lady. She got a man to help with English, which was only some better. They placed a phone call to the owners, whom we had tried to call three times - from the number in our confirmation email. We found out that the number was for the restaurant, & they just said “wrong number”. The phone resulted in us being told we were in the wrong room & they moved us. It was frustrating and unnecessary for two travelers who were already very weary from a long, long trip. We did get food at the Hot Spot restaurant at the front of the building, and it was very good. The people were kind to us but very vocal and unhappy about the owners of the pension. The bus line was close and worked for us. We were only in Dachau to spend the night and keep moving.
