Hotel berhampiran Vedic culture - Hindu Temple, Stuttgart

Das Hotel ist zwar in die Jahre gekommen und geschwitzt habe ich trotz dem eiernden Ventilator und den zugezogenen Vorhängen im Zimmer an einem sommerlichen Abend/Nacht in Stuttgart, aber dafür war das Hotelpersonal super freundlich und hilfsbereit, stets für Fragen offen, das machte alles wieder wett! Mein Zimmer und das Bad war sauber und geräumig, zudem war ein großer Schreibtisch und eine Minibar vorhanden. Das Kennenlernen und Schlendern der Stadt konnte sofort beginnen, denn das Hotel liegt unweit von Einkaufstraßen, Museen und dergleichen. Bus- und Bahn in der Nähe und der Hbf knapp über ein Kilometer fußläufig erreichbar. OK, die zentrale Lage hat nur einen Haken, ein ”bisschen” laut war es stellenweise abends durch Leute, Autos auf dem Weg zum nächsten Club...

We enjoyed our stay! There is a small selection of vegan options available at breakfast, which is great :)

Positive things first : - Fast elevators - Big Room - Lots of seating possibilities in room - Bathroom with shower separate from Toilet - Big bed - Nice lightning - Lots of storage Now the negative things: - Can't close the curtains properly - so it's quite light ( especially as the building in front of us had the lights on... ( maybe add some clips on the wall where we could clip the curtains in ). - Very soft pillows ( like really soft xD ) - It wasn't mentioned anywhere that the Parking is NOT in the same building. Really inconvenient as you have to walk over a high speed big street, then 2 floor down to find your car - not really ideal if with Luggage or if you have difficulties to walk. Otherwise it was a great stay :)

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

Different. Very relaxing ambience, not brightly lit. The young staff are all very pleasant and can speak to you with a warming smile. Lots of seating in foyer and if you can play the guitar there’s a couple there for residents. The bedroom are different but everything there that is needed. Our first night was very peaceful but on the second night we were awakened @ 1.30 am to the sound of a French couple who stormed into their bedroom next door to us arguing and shouting at each other very loudly. I put up with it unto 1.45 and then thumped the adjoining wall quite loudly when they quietened down a little, for a while. The room has no phone so I couldn’t ring down to inform them. The bed and pillows were clean and comfortable . We didn’t have any food so can’t comment on that. Lovely wee spot and very central.

十分滿意且性價比高的新酒店，設計感舒適度地理位置都非常高。房間很大，而且層高非常高，色彩很和諧，設計很人性化，布局合理。去哪裡都很方便。這是此行唯一一個沒有交涉就按我定的房型給我的酒店。因為我發現在歐洲，衹要你是個中國人，加錢訂的好的房型一般都會給你降級，給你小的或差的房型。最後要通過去前台交涉才能給到你預定的房型。這個酒店是這次唯一一個沒欺負我，直接給我預定房型的酒店，必須五星好評！還有一個溫馨提示，如果英文不好，在歐洲定房間就定基礎房，千萬別加錢定別的房型，因為不出意外，他們肯定會給你差的房型，這個是我經驗之談，這次定了1 1晚的住宿，衹有3次是沒有重新交涉換房間，住的很憋屈。別的幾天，天天都在前台交涉，心累！

I had a one night stay at this property and it was a mix bag.  Some highlights  - staff in general were friendly  - accessibility to the hotel is good - via public transportation and if you have your own car, there is street parking available and in the shopping centre.  Parking in the hotel's garage is on the expensive side of 17.50€ per night - rooms were spacious and clean - water pressure and temperature was good Some improvement points - bathroom size was on the small side, also found that the location of the towel cabinet in the bathroom to be quite dangerous/harzadous as it's placed within a small space area opposite the toilet bowl which if not careful you can potentially hit your head while getting up at the corner of the cabinet - zero recognition or care as a HHonors elite.  This has to be one of the first property in Germany or anywhere that matters, not offered any complimentary bottle of water in the room.  When I went to request for this after check-in at the reception, they initially was happy to bring me one, but later informed that I had to pay for it as I had the points as the option.  I find this pretty sad as it does not even cost €1 for a bottle. - again like a lot of other properties, no minibar in the room and the temperature control in the room was not the best when wanting to cool down the room. The only reason I would return to this property is because of the location, but if I had a car, I would most probably stay back at the Hilton Garden Inn Neckkerpark property which I had much better experience. 

Das Hotel liegt am Rand eines Wohngebiets an einer befahrenen Straße. Es belegt einen Teil eines größeren Geschäftshauses. Personal ist sehr freundlich. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut, das Zimmer sauber und ansprechend eingerichtet. Leider gibt es nur Vorhänge und keine Gardinen, so dass man am frühen Morgen Sonnenlicht nur bekommt, wenn einem der ~6m entfernte, über Eck im gleichen Gebäude befindliche Büroarbeiter ins Zimmer schauen darf. Die Schallisolation der Wände ist gut, die Zimmertür lässt leider ziemlich viel durch. Schlecht, wenn morgens ab 6 umtriebiges Klappern im Gang einsetzt. Zusammengefasst: Für früh aufstehende Geschäftsreisende in Ordnung.

The hotel location: It has direct access to main road which runs through train station and towards stuggart. So not a problem in finding it. About 1.5km from train station. For grocery shopping there is kaufland on street backside of it for which you could also access a 2min by walk pathway in front of tesla office (yes they opened one). The room: The room I opted was double bedroom without kitcehente. The room was small but still spacious for one person, with a TV, window opining for fresh air and sunlight, the bathroom is ok, the shower area much bigger than other hotels (where you would otherwise have struggled to move your hands around in other hotels). Only difference to other rooms which had option of kitcehente is that the entry area near door is bit wide in those rooms (though it's just wash sink and one microwave for the sake of kitcehente) One thing which I didn't like was that the bed was actually joined by 2 wiggle beds, made the sleep uncomfortable, would have preferred one queen/king bed. Service/Staff: Had opted for room including breakfast in the price. So was expecting that they charge total bill amount in all and don't charge separetly for breakfast in bill (treat as complimentary in that room price), but staff didn't understood and did separate charges for room and for breakfast. Was a bit inconvenience. General view: The hotel has a bar at reception, breakfast area is big and worth price to pay extra except for vegetarian as nothing apart from juice and fruit/joghurt. Good ambience, enough free space outside. Overall satisfied with my stay, except that it's little away from train station and the breakfast billing (not a deal breaker for me).

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!
