I stayed in this hotel for three nights.
This was my first visit to Stuttgart and I selected this hotel based on previous reviews and due to a good experience I had in another Meridien Hotel. I wanted a hotel that was centrally located and within walking distance to shops, bars, restaurants and most importantly the Christmas Markets.
The staff throughout the hotel from the reception to the bar were helpful, courteous and friendly. The check in was hassle free. The rooms were not ready but they stored our suitcases which allowed us to head off and explore the city for the day. It was raining heavily so they provided us with a large umbrella for the day.
The rooms were spacious and spotlessly clean.
There were no tea and coffee making facilities in the room but you could avail of free takeaway tea and coffee from the restaurant.
We didn’t have breakfast included in our room rate so instead we went to one of the many bakeries and cafes in the streets along the main shopping street. This was within easy walking distance. There is a main road outside the hotel. To cross the road you take the stairs outside the hotel door and then use the foot bridge to cross the road into the park. You then walk through the park to the main street. It is about a five minute walk.
The hotel bar while a tad on the small side considering the size of the hotel is very pleasant and relaxing. It has an excellent cocktail menu and all the cocktails are expertly made. The staff in the bar were fantastic. Really friendly and fast. There was one girl in particular who mixed amazing cocktails and at the speed of light.
We also ate in the bar one night. The Portions were a good size and the food was excellent especially the burger.
The hotel pool was a good size and free to use to guests of the hotel. One thing to note is you need to wear a gown and slippers down to the spa. These are provided in your room.
When I return to Stuttgart I would try and stay at this hotel again.
