Based on the 4points out of 5 Tripadvisor rating, based on over 140 reviews, I think it's either: - The Westin Grand Muenchen Arabellapark: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g1...ia.html#REVIEWS or - Hilton Park Munich: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g1...ch_Bavaria.html neither of which are in the immediate city centre. The Westin Grand Muenchen Arabellapark is located very near a subway station and it's 9 minutes by subway to the city centre (although during Oktoberfest times it isn't that bad, it's on the direct line to the Oktoberfest, a 15 minute ride away). The Hilton Park Munich is located near Munich biggest park, but it's in an awkward place if you have to use public transport, you have to take a bus to reach the subway (6 minutes), and from there it's 7 minutes to the centre, so including the walk to the bus station it's about 20 minutes.

Sorry, somehow the dates got cut off in the title line. The stay is 8th to 12th of November 2009. I know I could have probably got this hotel cheaper if I booked just 1 week ahead (HOTWIRE has it at $105 for Nov. 1-5) but I didn't want to risk.
