As a city of beer, Munich sees its fair share of young philanthropists looking to aid the local industry. With that, of course, comes a proliferation of clean and reasonably-priced hostels smack in the city center. The impeccable and convenient public transportation also makes it easy for those looking to stay at cheaper and quieter accommodations elsewhere. The outrageously high demand for rooms during Oktoberfest means that you should probably book months (up to a year) in advance, and beware that rates do increase 10-20% during those 16 magical days. The summer months, crowded with vacationers, will also see rises in demand and price, so again make sure to book days in advance.
