Most of the hostel reviews I've read for places in Munich say there's an age limit of 26. Anyone know of a good hostel or other option for someone a few years older than that?

The Euro Youth Hostel doesn't have an age limit.

Only the YHI hostels in Bavaria have age limits - it´s a requirement to get government subsidies.
Privately run hostels (such as Easy Palace, Euro Youth, Meininger, Wombats, etc don´t care about your age. They´re much better anyway.

"The Euro Youth Hotel doesn't have an age limit."
I've stayed there, and it was really clean, nice and fun. I liked it so much I bought a t-shirt. I would definitely go back.

Have you checked out Wombat's? I don't know the age regulations, but I sure can vouch for their greatness  (Coming from a girl who got a free trip from them heheheh it's kind of korny, but hey, they're just great and so fun and cooperative!) |

LOL, commie. Don't worry - the age limit is only for YHA hostels, and I read recently that if there is space available, they will take us over-26 people. But there are many non-YHA options you can choose instead. (Oops, I guess Santa Klaus said that above.)
I've found that in other cases, where governmental rules aren't an issue, is that if a hostel does have a purported age limit (often 35), they will waive it if you promise not to complain. I haven't been to one of these, but some party hostels apparently are afraid that if they let older people in, all the fun will dissipate.
