The hype
Travelers consistently praise the immaculate cleanliness and friendly staff, but warn about the summer heat.

Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Unbeatable location 7 minutes from the Hauptbahnhof
- Surprisingly effective soundproofing for a city center hotel
- Budget rates that leave room for extra Swabian pretzels
Hurtig oversigt: A hyper-functional transit hotel that trades air conditioning and elevators for unbeatable proximity to the trains.
Anmeldt af @Solotraveler: I stayed here for a quick stopover in Stuttgart. It’s super close to the station, which saved me so much time. The room was tiny and the 4th-floor walk-up is a workout, but for the price and that hearty German breakfast, I’d honestly do it again.

Reality check
The 'small bathroom' complaints are real—showers are tight, and water often splashes onto the floor due to design quirks.
- You have an early morning train to catch
- You prioritize cleanliness over luxury amenities
- You are traveling light and can handle stairs
Renhed & Vedligeholdelse
8.1
- Housekeeping: Daily cleaning is consistent and praised; rooms are 'spotless' upon arrival.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally excellent, though grout and drains are older. Main issue is water splashing on the floor.
- Maintenance: Functional but aging; reports of exposed wires or loose fixtures are not uncommon.
- Linens & towels: Fresh and clean, though towels can be on the thin/scratchy side.
- Odors & scents: Neutral to fresh; no lingering smoke smells reported.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål og skjulte tips
Alt hvad du gerne vil vide før du booker.
Is there air conditioning?

Yes, extremely. It's about a 5-7 minute walk from Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof, though the last stretch is uphill.
Is breakfast included?
Usually not. It's available for a surcharge (approx. €15), but many guests suggest grabbing a cheaper bakery breakfast at the station.
Is there an elevator?
Yes, there is a lift inside, but you still have to navigate stairs at the entrance to get into the building.
Are pets allowed?
No, pets are generally not allowed at this property.
Does the hotel have parking?
No private parking. You must use public street parking or nearby garages (approx. €15/day).
Insidertips

- ✨
Ask for a room facing the back courtyard for a significantly quieter night.
- ✨
The hotel has a vending machine for late-night snacks since there's no room service or mini-bar.
5 ting du bør vide før du tager af sted
💡The shower design is flawed; water easily floods the bathroom floor.
💡Exposed TV wiring is a common quirky sight in the rooms.
💡The 'Souterrain' rooms are technically basements—great for sleep (dark), bad for vibes.
💡WiFi is surprisingly fast and reliable for a budget German hotel.
