I very much enjoyed my stay at Motel One Stuttgart. This cute little hotel was perfect for our one…read morenight stay in town, and I found it comfortable, welcoming, and affordable. I would absolutely stay here again if I returned to the area.
The hotel is located within a 20 minute walk of the main train station. This is Motel One Stuttgart-Mitte, NOT Motel One Stuttgart-HBF so pay attention to the locations. They're fairly close to one another.
The hotel is also accessible via an underground tunnel that connects directly to public transport and the train station, which would be so nice in bad weather. Note that the tunnels are very, very twisty and confusing, and it's way too easy to get lost trying to navigate them. For this reason, we always opted to walk "above ground" when going to and from our hotel and the train station.
I found a great deal here by booking directly with the hotel, and I was impressed with the pre-arrival communication. I had plenty of clear, detailed e-mails from the hotel about my check-in and other processes well beforehand.
When we arrived, our room was ready. The front desk clerk was very kind and helpful, and she spoke good English. It's a challenge to communicate in German sometimes, but we did our best. The lobby is very nice with a bar and restaurant that felt swanky yet comfortable. We were also offered complimentary fruit-flavored water upon check-in.
Our room was a standard one, and it was sparse but very clean and comfortable. We had a double room that had two twin beds pushed together to make one "big" bed (typical in Europe). Each bed had crisp, white linens and an individual duvet which was so nice! There was a small open "closet" area as well as a desk and chair. I was excited because our large windows opened so we could see the street below. The room had a ballet theme with photos of dancers on the wall and thoughtful reading lamps by the headboard. The hotel designer certainly made the most use of the space available. The bathroom was my favorite: clean, modern, and user-friendly. We had a full bathroom en suite, so no walking down the hall!
The hotel is located in a bustling business district, so there was tons of activity day and night. I never felt unsafe walking around, and there was always somebody nearby. We even walked all over the city from here (the largest Christmas market was about 15 minutes away on foot). Depending on what you are in town to do and see, this would be a terrific location for just about anything in Stuttgart proper! There are shops and restaurants steps away, too.
I highly recommend this hotel! It may not be luxurious or fancy, but it's very comfortable, friendly, and affordable.
