Stayed in January this year with family for one night. Some things were very good especially for the price - staff were helpful and friendly, rooms were decent size and clean.

Some things could improve though - primarily breakfast was not great. Quality of the food was average at best.

Do also be aware that the hotel is out of the central city. Very handy though to the Mercedes and Porsche Museums.

Parking is also a bit of a walk. You can drop your bags off, but then they charge for parking and it is a bit of a walk to get to and from your car.

The hotel is also right beside the football stadium so I would not like the be staying there on a football day (unless of course I was staying to see a football game).

We were really impressed with the room in the hotel as for the price we paid (€135 for a family room incl breakfast) we were expecting it to be much more "economy" like. OK, the facilities probably aren't as extensive as a more expensive hotel but the room was VERY roomy for the four of us. The double bed and the two singles were split by a divider containing the TV which gave it an almost suite like feel. There was plenty of rooms for seats, an office area and a huge cupboard area for our luggage. There were automatic external blinds which stopped any light for anyone who needs a good sleep the next morning.

A great feature for us was the sauna in the bathroom. The bathroom itself was a lovely Villeroy and Boch suite and there was a full size sauna that we could all fit in. Make sure you don't press the big red button whilst in the sauna otherwise you'll be getting a call from reception within a few seconds to check everything is OK :-)

The beds are really comfortable. They've got some kind of air pockets in them that can be adjusted and I have to say I slept really well that night although that could have been due to the drive down from Calais.

Predictably breakfast was great as well. The egg, bacon, sausage etc was as good as I've ever had outside of the UK and the continental looked good with a lot of choice too. They even had a waffle maker where you could cook your own from scratch.

The underground car park was secure in that there are barriers to stop people driving away but it is is possible for non guests to walk in so I wouldn't have felt comfortable leaving my luggage in there with the tell tale foreign number plates. There were also dark areas with lights off when we arrived which couldn't be activated although I did notice the next day that the same areas were now working.

The luggage wasn't a problem though with the Receptionist happy to get a trolley take it to our room even though it was approx 2300 and he even came back ten minutes later with my daughters mobile phone that she had managed to drop in the corridor.

The only downsides I can think of are the wireless reception was very sporadic but it is free so can't complain too much. Also Reception was clearly understaffed when we checked out with only one person serving and three parties waiting. However it was only a few minutes so nothing much to complain about there.

I would recommend this hotel if you need to go to this area of Germany. I am not sure how convenient it is for the city centre and I don't think there is a huge amount to do in Stuttgart but as a stopover on the way from Calais to Garmish Partenkirchen it was ideal and, if there was more to do in the surrounding area, I would have loved to stay for longer.

What was cool about this place was that there were complimentary drinks waiting for us, and also that the staff made a courtesy call to see if there's anything else that they could do to help once we had checked in, that was great.

Negative for me was that their beds were the most uncomfortable I've stayed on in our entire trip to Europe. Their beds are on wheels in the rooms as you'd expect, and both the beds were different heights... Thus the 2 beds made into 1 made sleeping a bit uncomfortable. Our room A/C's cooling function didn't work, so we were hot all night which was disappointing. Thought the Breakfast wasn't that great either, but hey, it's a cheaper hotel. Bathroom could have been cleaner. Some dude's (or chick's) beard stubble was on the Toilet Paper.

Also at the end on our checkout the staff member at the front desk asked how our stay was, and she kind of seemed offended when I told her the things I just told you... I didn't want to come across as rude I just said what I didn't like. Come on, if you aren't prepared to hear about the bad experiences then maybe don't ask?

Our experience wasn't bad overall, the real saver is how cool the staff were - mostly. It's a Business Hotel after all. Just stayed there for proximity to Merc Museum. Probably won't go back unless it's for a TPS reports convention or something.

Some distance from Neckar Park S Bahn station, about 15 minutes at a fast pace.
Hotel very modern, really close to Mercedes Benz Museum and the football stadium, too.
Room fine, breakfast ok.
The wifi was awful. It just would not work with my iphone, despite all the work arounds they offered me.
