Freihof Hotel Stuttgart

The hotel is good for business as well as privat short stays. There is a parking lot in the underground garage, which is quit difficult to park because of the tiny space, but with patience it will do. The reception is friendly. The room was clean and good size with good and free wifi. The bathroom had only one sink and a shower (and toilet). Shower came with a curtain which I don't like so much (you probably know why). Beers and refreshments available at all times, just write down your room number and pay in the morning. The breakfast was great; intercontinental ... everything in place. Good coffee :-). One minor, with open windows, you hear the metro passing by, even with a room on the backside of the hotel. Close the windows is the message.

Stayed 1 night in late Jan 2018. The location isn't close to the city center, around 30min tram from it. It is alright since the tram station is ard 8min walk. Stuttgart hotel is pretty expensive and this one its price is reasonable. The reception opens a limited time, so please do inform them your expected check-in time so they will instruct you the self check-in procedure. However the passcode they provided for us didn't work, we contacted the staff through the "ring" at the door. After communicating for several times (which they seem do not understand what I am saying), the staff were unwilling to come down/show up. After 20min back and forth conversation, they provided us a new passcode to get the roomkey so we were able to get in. We got the room on the top floor, which you have to walk 1 floor stair up because the lift doesn't reach the top floor. The room is spacious with 1 double bed and 1 single bed (which I booked 1 double bed only). The room is clean and tidy. Got heater but not AC. We informed the hotel we will store the luggage after check out and will come back at 1pm through email after booking, and got positive reply from them. However, on the check out day, the staff told us it was impossible because the reception is closed from 12 - 4. After neogitation, luckily, they were willing to stay for one hour more at the hotel for us. In general the hotel is a decent and budget one. There were few troubles during the check-in and check-out, apart from that everything went smooth.

I stayed at this hotel on July 9 and found it on Booking.com. The special Sunday night rate was £34 on the internet. Instead of booking it on line I went to the hotel direct thinking that by booking it direct I would get this price and the hotel would get a better margin. The hotel was fine and whilst the Reception didn’t open until the evening I gained access to the room via a call on the telephone. I was charged €47 or the equivalent of £43. By helping the hotel I got a worse price, The guy on Reception must have thought I was a fool. If I had booked on line then he would have got less than £34. I didn’t complain but obviously I won’t stay there again. Still cheap i know but it was a small hotel in the suburbs.
