Hotel berhampiran Reformationsdenkmal an der Hospitalkirche, Stuttgart

I do not normally advise others to completely avoid a hotel, but in this instance I do. I was disgusted by the quality of the product and standard of customer service at Motel One Stuttgart-Mitte. To begin, my welcome to the hotel was a tea and coffee machine roped off and taped up (pics attached). What a horrible way to, in the first moment of arrival, make your ‘guests’ feel unwelcome and disrespected. It is common practice at hotels all around the world to offer tea and coffee facilities in the room. If not offered in the guest rooms, hotels/hostels/motels etc offer these facilities in the common areas of the hotel (Hub by Premier Inn for instance). When I asked about this upon check in I was informed “you can pay” and collect tea from the bar. Whilst styling itself as a ‘budget hotel’ this accomodation cost over €80 per night, for that price I expect tea and coffee to be included…..as it is at a €30 hostel down the road. How dare you price gouge your guests in this manner. I asked to speak to the hotel manager (who it later turned out was not the hotel manager as he was apparently in Frankfurt). She reiterated that accessing the tea and coffee machine was “not allowed” however I may request boiling water from the bar….I accepted this solution. That night I requested a cup of boiling water and was met with a strange look and questions, I was forced to explain that the hotel manager said I could have boiling water. As I waited I got a tea bag from the tea/coffee station which was met with absolute horror by the reception staff who berated me and told me off for taking the tea bag. So as it turned out I was allowed boiling water but not a tea bag….how petty can you be? What an appalling way to treat ‘guests.’ I would have been happy to pay the 5-10 cents for the tea bag as it appears motel one count every last cent. Not to worry I had a spare tea bag in my bag….that’s an extra 10 cents for the motel one brand. Another example of the complete disregard and disrespect shown to the needs of their guests can be seen through their refusal to turn the air conditioning on!!!!! As has been remarked on by other guests on this forum. It is summer in Germany, the 2 days of my stay were above 25 and with the sun glaring in the room the room itself was above 35, as such, I had 2 wrestles, sleepless nights which affected my time in this wonderful city. When I asked about the air conditioning it was made clear that it WOULD NOT be turned on. I asked what I should do, I was told to open the window. Open the window to music, partying, car noise, car horns, airplanes, trains….and worst of all the construction work by the hotel itself….the hotel I am PAYING to stay in!!….all of which can be heard throughout the day and night. At this point I realised that all motel one care about is how much money they can make out of each guest….why pay for the electricity of the air conditioning system when the guests can have an uncomfortable and disruptive sleep….the comf

We referred to this hotel as our 'cruise ship' experience. The room was about the same size as an inside room on a cruise ship, and when you walked out of the hotel in the morning, you were right in the middle of the action! The location can't be beat- you are literally right at the train station for Boblingen. On the other side of the train station is the main plaza area with lots of shops and a mall. The mall is 3 stories and has a grocery store in the bottom as well as several restaurants. One block in the other direction is MotorWorld. There is a nice park on the other side of MotorWorld with a great playground for kids. On the weekend, the park also had an amusement park with a huge ferris wheel. The hotel itself is very no frills. We had the family room which had bunk beds for the kids and a double size bed for the adults. There wasn't much room to walk around and we bumped into each other when we were trying to get ready to go anywhere. The TV didn't have any channels in English that worked. All in all, this was a functional hotel room and met our needs. But, it definitely didn't have any frills. In addition to a cruise ship room, it could also be compared to a Motel 6 in the US. Parking was 8 Euros a day (even if your reservation said it was complimentary!) and the parking lot was easy to navigate.

Een kop (zelf te zetten ) koffie op de kamer had ik wel op prijs gesteld, echter beneden waren voor 1,30 euro ( is niet te duur) warme dranken te verkrijgen. Personeel was vriendelijk. Service was goed. Het was erg warm in Stuttgart maar gelukkig was er ook airconditioning. Vrij rustige kamer, al hoorde je wel de trein voorbijkomen, echter niet al te hard. Schoonmaak van de kamer zou wat mij betreft iets meer aandacht mogen hebben. Overal: prijs kwaliteit is goed, ik ga er zeker weer boeken de volgende keer dat ik naar Stuttgart ga.

We did a pit stop here to take kids to Mercedes’ museum. It was not a big event weekend so the area was really dead. Hotel reception was friendly but only 1 person manning the desk so it always seemed busy with queues. Bathrooms are functional and clean but given 4 people were staying in the room, body wash and loo roll ran out as they don’t fully replenish items. I understand the whole green thing but at least put enough toiletries in there. Simple little things like this should not require us to have to chase and ask the staff for these. Especially for a Hilton brand. The other odd thing is the toilet has its own room at the hotel room entrance. That’s great, but there is no sink. You have to walk around the whole room to get to the bathroom to wash your hands. We also had dinner at the restaurant downstairs. It charges silly money for every item on your plate. Literally a single portion of salmon is 15 euros (maybe 150g) with nothing else on the plate. If you want a side, you have to pay for that. Same with the schnitzel. Every single item you add to your plate is an additional cost. Staff was fine but the pricing system was ludicrous. We stupidly followed the tripadvisor reviews for the restaurant and the place was pretty dead. We should have eaten at the sports bar outside which was outdoors and has more ambience for possibly the same level of food. Who knows. The only redeeming feature is we got some discount back from this restaurant because of our club member status. We only stayed here for one night so it was sufficient as a clean functional hotel.

Das schlechteste und mieseste Hotel in dem ich je war!!!! Gebucht direkt über die Homepage. Und damit fing es auch schon an!!!! Nach der Buchung bekam ich KEINE Bestätigung via Mail zugeschickt. Erst nach 2 maliger Aufforderung an die angeführte E-Mail Adresse. Angekommen im Hotel wurde uns mitgeteilt, dass es kein warmes Wasser gibt aufgrund diverser Probleme. Das Schwesternhotel wurde uns angeboten, jedoch waren wir schon den ganzen Tag unterwegs und erschöpft und wollten einfach nur auf unser Zimmer. Das Schwesternhotel wäre ca. 30 Minuten weiter entfernt gewesen. Habe dann das Wasser getestet, es war kalt/lauwarm. Zum schnell abduschen für uns ok, allerdings nicht für den vollen Preis. Die Rezeptionistin bot an 1 Frühstück gratis, ich stimmte nicht zu und wollte den Chef sprechen. Der wäre nicht da und auch nicht verfügbar. Ich hätte sonst bis 18:00 Zeit dann verfällt die Reservierung oder ich soll mir halt ein anderes Hotel suchen!!! Wahnsinn das ganze und sowas von unfreundlich! Dann ging sie mit dem handy für einige Minuten weg. Nach langem hier und her einigten wir uns auf minus 50% auf die 2. Nacht. War ok für mich. Dann ging die Diskussion aber weiter. Die Rezeptionistin hatte keinerlei Informationen über meine Buchung bzw Preis für 2 Nächte und wollte mir dann einen höheren Preis das Frühstück nochmal extra dazu rechnen!!! Irre war das und einfach nur eine Frechhheit!!! Zeigte ihr dann meine Bestätigung der Buchung für 2 Nächte inkl. Frühstück. Aber rechnen konnte sie trotzdem nicht! Das Frühstück war ok, mehr nicht. Brot teilweise vom Vortag, Joghurt mit eingetrockneten Rändern! Sonst kaum Auswahl und sehr überschaubar. KEIN Safe im Zimmer!!! Auch darauf hatte die Rezeptionistin keine Antwort! Zimmer war sehr spartanisch eingerichtet. Bad mit Dusche und vertrecktem Duschvorhang! Alles in Allem: furchtbarer Aufenthalt! Dringend davon abgeraten!!!

was cheap compared to central Stuttgart and if you like Porsche you will love the location plus train 5 min walk away. Great vending machine really reasonable and could get coffee and snacks. Reception very polite and took decent size though I could smell sewerage in the bathroom often. I didn’t like the fact it's absolutely no where near any coffee shop, bar or anything apart from offices and a gorgeous bakery only open Monday to Friday Sieffels. just around the corner plus at weekends trains are every half hour not great when you are tired. Few times had to close the window at 6am as people in the courtyard talking real loud. Check out is 12 noon however this guy cleaner opened the door to our friends bedroom as they were leaving One last thing don’t even think about UBER taxis or taxis they are megga expensive cost is 40 euros for a 6Km journey plus 88 euros from the airport to this hotel.

Ein gutes Hotel um in aller Ruhe eine Flugreise am nächsten Tag anzutreten. Die Zimmer sind recht gut und ein sehr gutes Frühstück wird auch angeboten. Es sind gerade mal 2 Stationen mit der U Bahn zum Flughafen. Einziges Manko, es gibt am Abend keine Möglichkeit irgendwo in der Nähe Essen zu gehen, auch nicht im Hotel, für uns schlecht.

On arrival at reception I was welcomed by a delightful gentlemen called Marcus. He was extremely helpful and spoke excellent English (a great help as my German consists of counting to 10, please and thank you) I had booked two rooms for one night. Both rooms were clean and nicely laid out. Although the hotel is located right by a train line of some sort, we couldn’t hear any of the outside noise and several trains passed during the time we were there. The selection of items on offer in the morning was amazing. We would certainly be very happy to stay here again.

das ”neue” leonardo ist sehr schön geworden. alles sehr modern und ebenso geschmackvoll gestaltet und eingerichtet. die zimmer sind geräumig und bieten alles, was man erwartet. wir hatten ein zimmer zur straße und (aufgrund der schalldichten fenster) nichts davon gehört; im sommer wird das (bei geöffnetem fenster) sicher anders sein. das bett hatte leider eine durchgehende matratze und (nur eine!) decke; manche mögen das mögen, für uns war das nichts! bad ok, internet-empfang ausreichend. frühstück vielfältig und gut. aus dem benachbarten öffentlichen parkhaus (13 € pro tag) kommt man - trockenen fusses - über den fahrstuhl zur reception. personal freundlich und zuvorkommend. uneingeschränkt emfehlenswert!
