Hotel 2-Star di Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany

We enjoyed the comfort and quietness of this hotel. It is an economical hotel close to Ulm's train station as well. The location is ok and it is about a 10 minute walk from the train station and Ulm Munster. There isn't much nearby but most spots to see in Ulm are about 10 to 20 minutes away and there are plenty of good restaurants throughout Ulm that aren't too far away from the hotel. This is a true economy hotel and it has standard offerings similar to other B&B hotels. They have a small table, a couple of stools, a small TV and some space to hang up clothes and put your things. The bed is comfy, the wifi is good, the room was clean, and the room was very quiet at night. The temperature was easy to control for our room with the AC unit that blew plenty of heat in December and quickly warmed up the room. We also learned during this stay that you could borrow a kettle at the front desk but you need to pay for the tea bags. The bathroom was good and the shower offers good pressure and the temperature is easy to control. You may want to consider bringing your own products because they have an all in one body cleanser here. One thing we thought could improve the hotel is a better means to access the hotel if you arrive early because they don't always leave the door open/unlocked as we found out when we arrived to drop off our bags around 11 am. Not all staff here speak English either but they were good when we checked in. They do have a self check in kiosk outside the lobby but it didn't seem to be working when we visited and we would be slightly concerned if we came very late to check in because it seems their front desk is not always manned. They use a code to access the hotel after hours but you need to check in first and that same code is used to unlock your room's door. The hotel has street parking nearby as well as a parking garage underneath. The hotel offers a discounted breakfast if you use their application and there may be a membership to get a free breakfast during your stay. They have drinks, snacks and pizza available at the front desk too.

Amazing location and such a warm place to stay, Cleanliness is clearly a top priority here! The location couldn’t be better: the old town and the castle are right outside the door, and you can even see Heidelberg Castle just by looking up. It’s about a ten-minute walk uphill to the castle and less than ten minutes to the bridge. There’s also a bus stop downstairs with a direct connection to the main train station. I truly love this place. It’s my first choice in Germany, and honestly, I would come back to Heidelberg just to stay here again.  The owner and staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, and everything is spotlessly clean. The guests are friendly, respectful and quiet, which makes it easy to meet people while still feeling relaxed. Every bed has its own power socket, there’s a female-only bathroom and shower, fresh bed linen, lockers, a spacious kitchen and a cozy common room. I especially loved the photo wall, the guest book and the world map with pins. Free coffee and milk , hair dryer available. The heating is great, the view outside the window is beautiful, and there’s even a small balcony garden. In the cold German winter, this place truly warmed my heart. It’s honestly my favorite hostel. I really hope to come back!

Good management from the A&O Stuttgart branch. Good housekeeping. Facilities are complete in a compact building. Great location, just within minutes from Milchof station. Alles gute! Some suggestions, it will be better if there is a notice to the guests regarding drinking water directly from water tap, assessing to guest kitchen and laundry room. The receptionist seems to be overwhelmed by all those minor enquiry, which could be improved. In overall, a great place to stay!

Perfect location to the city center Rooms OK and very clean. Breakfast selection OK, but not enough seats when the hotel is full. Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio was not right, as was the very unfriendly service from the stressed lady at reception!

The station in Stuttgart is under construction and is difficult to understand. When you get off the train, take the railroad track with your back and go to the right. If you go left, you will make a detour to the front exit. The room is large enough for one person. I was just in trouble because there was no refrigerator. The wiring of the TV was peeled out and I was able to laugh at a great diagonal. I think it is good for those who want to stay cheaply near the station. Sometimes I forget to collect garbage. Be careful because the surroundings are quite dim at night.

Unfortunately, the stay began with an irritating greeting at the reception. In the sense it was said that a holiday in Freiburg at this season is not worthwhile and a bad idea. This statement was not very invited and I therefore did not visit the reception again. The bedrooms are very small and are not adequately equipped for hostels. There was a particular problem with cleanness: There was clearly visible dust on almost all surfaces, so you didn't want to put anything on. The bed linen also showed a stick that strengthened the impression of lack of hygiene. The conductive water had a very unpleasant smell in the first seconds, which was also irritating. The sleeping comfort left over a lot of desires. The mattresses are very thin and are only on simple wooden plates instead of on a lattice rust. Releasing sleep is hardly possible under these conditions; back pain is almost pre-programmed. The prices for drinks are much above the usual level and are about twice as high as in the supermarket. The fact that a company has to work economically is understandable, but the amount of the surcharges does not seem appropriate anymore. Positively emphasise the central position and the optical design of the plant, which is attractive at first sight. Unfortunately, it is a sense that the focus has been strongly placed on the outer appearance, while fundamental aspects such as cleanliness and sleep quality have been neglected. In general, the price-performance ratio is not in my view correct. Unfortunately, an attractive optical approach cannot compensate for the above structural and hygienic deficiencies.

Nightmare checking in - checked in after the desk was closed (which i did let them know in advance like they said). the self check in did not work so I called the emergency number they gave, to which a drunk man in a bar answered. He was useless, kept telling me he couldn’t find the booking and so I had to repeat the number so many times, kept hanging up saying he’d call me back in 5 mins but never did, clearly drunk in a bar. Took over an hour to get through to him and finally get my room number and code, by which was 1am.

It’s just a bed to sleep in everything is basic. EV charging is a great addition to a convenient location to everything you need.

The Hotel is one of those self-check in types, without a reception. We hadn’t received the code at all, so we had to phone the service number. Person on the phone was good and gave us the code. Very comfortable bed and large room, excellent for the price we paid. In a pretty quiet area surrounded by office buildings, and business parking. Very close to Train station, but not too much around. Cons: Could have been a little bit cleaner, there was hair in the shower drain for example, and a few things didn’t work: a lamp, heated towel rail, the shower door was also missing.

The check in time is a bit inconvenient especially for such a motel/hostel located in the mountains. But I can understand this is the daily routine of the owner’s family-owned business. The owner is passionate and welcoming that he forgave me for checking in outside the stated period. But the room’s cleanliness and design is no more than what you should have expected from the rent. Also there are very few choices for dining inside or around the hostel. Bring your own food to cook or drive to the nearby towns before 9 otherwise you will starve yourself until next morning.
