Short answer
If your Munich hotel laundry service does not suit your budget or schedule, compare a self-service laundromat, a local drop-off laundry, and an external pickup service. Each has a different trade-off between your time, travel, clothing care, and return date. Ask the hotel about its own rules first; an external collection from the property depends on address availability and an agreed handover.
Compare the three common routes
A hotel service is convenient if its terms match your stay. A laundromat gives you direct control but takes time. A drop-off laundry or pickup provider does more of the work, subject to its coverage, opening hours, and terms.
Calculate more than the sticker price
Ask whether the hotel charges by item, whether an outside service charges by weight or item, and whether a minimum order or separate pickup fee applies. Add transport and waiting time if you choose self-service. Avoid assuming one route is always cheapest.
Plan around the return date
Check when your clothes will actually be available, not just when they are collected. If you leave Munich soon, do not book a slot that returns the bag after checkout. Ask your accommodation how it handles external deliveries.

Is a laundromat always cheaper than pickup?
Not necessarily. Compare the full monetary cost and the time you spend travelling, washing, and drying.

No. Ask your specific hotel which options are available during your stay.
Can I use an outside provider at a hotel?
You need both a serviceable address and a handover that the hotel permits.
