Chose this hotel because we were visiting the Mercedes museum, and this is very close by. However getting in and out of Stuttgart by public transport was much more of a faff than I’d thought. There is a U bahn station close by but it only operates for big games at the adjacent sports stadiums, so that leaves you reliant on either the bus, the S bahn which is quite a long and boring walk, or the U bahn at Schlachthof which is a good 20 minute schlep over the river. It’s okay but not ideal, especially with luggage. Avoid travelling to/from Bad Canstatt which is a pretty unpleasant walk.
The rooms were okay but nothing very special, and were stuffy. The AC didn’t work very well and had a bright green light on the console which kept us awake at night. In fact the worst thing about staying here was the poor quality sleep I had every night. The TV had loads of channels, but only about ten of them actually worked. The bathroom was nice though. I paid about €130 a night and I thought that was too high a price for the quality and location.
I would recommend staying elsewhere. The hotel is in a rather strange area which is often quite dead, and not particularly pleasant or convenient. It can also be quite loud after an event.
