Review of Hotel Ochsen
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 16 Nov 2017
This older building has nice, large, beautifully decorated traditional rooms. The hotel has an elevator and parking. Our double bed was two twins pushed together with lovely cotton linens and great storage space. It is conveniently located close to light rail and buses as well as freeway access. There were no wash clothes but all else was provided. The hard working staff was very helpful and efficient. The food is fantastic! This restaurant is known throughout the city for traditional regional food with very generous portions. Make a reservation because it fills up with local families. I had my first goose and it was spectacular. The breakfast buffet is wonderful with the best scrambled eggs, lots of meat, salmon, cheese, fruit, vegetable and juice choices and the fabulous European breads, croissants and cakes. Ask for espresso drinks. There is a grocery store down the street and a bakery and butcher shop. Walking in the neighborhood, you can see the Wurtemberg Kappelle in the distance.

Reviewed 3 October 2017

The room was relatively modern. The bed comfortable. The bathroom was clean with a large shower area. The restaurant was good with a good selection of food and drink to choose from. The décor in the restaurant was of a Bavarian style with wood panelling. The tables were all covered with table cloths. The restaurant staff were attentive and quick to serve. Food presentation was good with large amounts served. Restaurant prices were reasonable. On the negative side, the hotel claims ample on site parking, but this was not evident. Once there are about 6-8 cars, then there is no space available. Street parking can also be difficult to find close by.

Room tip: Avoid the front of the hotel as it is on the main road and can get noisy in the morning

Visiting Stuttgart for the first time we really hit lucky with this establishment. Easy to find in a quiet area, free off street parking, and a really friendly and helpfully informative welcome. Very nicely appointed room- good decoration, facilities, fruit, en suite, mini bar, TV, toiletries, towels, comfy bed with nice linen, plenty of lighting options, easy-to-open windows (we hate sleeping without external ventilation) and decent seating and storage space. Common areas similarly well appointed with nice little touches and there is also a lift which is useful if carrying heavy bags or a lazy and unfit Brother. Enjoyed an extremely good breakfast with a wide range of options and also ate in the hotel restaurant/bar which similarly did not disappoint with its choice of food and drink. The staff and owners clearly take a pride in their establishment which my Brother and I witnessed at breakfast when looking out of the window and seeing no less than three people vigorously sweeping the pleasant outside dining area. Good value. Really good and helpful staff. Well done all round and good value to boot. We hope to return.

I'll start by admitting that I'm breaking my own rule by posting another review, but this hotel in consistently so good it's justified.
I've been visiting the area for work every month for over three years, and unless they're full I stay at this lovely, family run hotel.

The staff are great - very friendly and helpful. The rooms are comfortable, well appointed and nicely furnished, and there is a lift in the main part of the hotel for easy access if you have any movement restrictions, or lots of luggage.
Breakfast is very nice with a good selection of fruit, meats pastries eta.
The main restaurant has a broad menu with some great local dishes, and a nice bar area.
I'm back for a short visit next week - I must be approaching my 50th stay all told, and have not had a bad experience in all that time.. well done to all at the Ochsen!

Keep it to yourself otherwise it will always be full and we won't be able to get in!

I had given up hope for German hotels ( odd exceptions see my other reviews for 1907 and Banhof Busch). Too often they're dour, boring, depressing, and uninviting.

So in an industrial part of the city I wasn't holding out much hope when I drove To this hotel.....

So imagine my surprise when I opened the door and found a cosy restaurant and bar full of warmth and merriment. Lovely staff at check in were quick and efficient. Quick hop step up to my room expecting the normal German boring drab basic room..... But no yet more surprises.... Great beds, fluffy pillows, lovely bathroom WITH TOILETRIES (Germany not usually this considerate), full mini bar, great mirrors, plenty of wardrobe space, and lighting that was useful in all the right places ( you'd be amazed at how many hotels underestimate the value of a bedside lamp!)

Food and beer fantastic, breakfast lovely too.

Am I going back .... You bet .... Already booked for my next business stay! 😀
