Hotel Espenlaub

At first glance I was a little worried that I had made a huge mistake. We’re only in Stuttgart for 2 days so not a huge issue but it’s actually a pretty quaint place. No frills but that’s ok. It’s a room, a bed, and a bathroom. We don’t need much else. There’s no parking at the hotel so parking is about a block and a half away. Be careful though, the garage was closed on Sunday when we were leaving and luckily someone was coming out so we could get our car! We dropped the bags off inside the reception area, took our rental car to the garage and walked back. There’s a lot of small restaurants and cafes close by for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Room was warm but they have a portable evaporative cooler and a fan so it didn’t take long to make the room somewhat comfortable. . Outside noise is a lot due to the train stop right there. I would recommend a stay here for a couple or single for a day or two. The staff was very nice and the hotel and room very clean.

Perfect location to find all Buses and Trains to travel in Stuttgart. Just across the Street is the Metro Station and few min.away a Bus stop. Stuttgart Airport is max.30 minutes with the metro that you find just opposite the Street. Hotel room is clean, the mattress was very comfortable too. They were also very flexible and helpful when I asked to do a Checkout at 3 p.m although checkout is at 11 a.m. This of course as it was manageable with no booking of the room after and at a very good price. We stayed 5 nights in this Hotel and if I come back to Stuttgart I might come to this Hotel again.

My first surprised was the private bathroom, it turned up to be a shared bathroom. Though the room is spacious but we can hear the door closed when other occupants closed their room door and shared toilet door. Lastly, one can only access fifth room (highest floor) is by staircase from forth floor because no button can be found inside the lift to fifth floor. But we can go down from fifth floor via the button found outside the lift ..strange! Overall, it was a disappointment for us.
