Hotels near Streichelzoo Höhenpark Killesberg, Stuttgart

Due to the pandemic we had to cancel other New Year's Eve plans and chose to stay a bit closer to home. This was an excellent choice! Unfortunately I can't attest to the salon, spa, or pool (all are off our to-do list until Germany's numbers are down), but everything else about this hotel was amazing. Everyone spoke excellent English, were very accommodating, and the restaurant requires a review all its' own (magnificent!!). If we had to find anything that didn't deserve a five-star rating, it would be the streaming service (lost Netflix connection frequently), however, everything else at this hotel made up for that. You couldn't ask for a better location; it's across the street from the Hauptbahnhof, and one block away from more shopping than you can do in a day! Every hotel in the world should offer an ”Olaf”! Olaf is the most outstanding of this hotel's very service-oriented staff; he is everywhere you need him to be right when you need him there!! If we owned a hotel chain, we would be trying to hire him away from the Graf Zeppelin - he's that good!! This hotel also has an elegant cigar bar. Although I'm not into cigars, it's so elegant that I did not mind accompanying my husband there. My husband's exact words were ”this place has the very best cigars I've ever tried, and an exquisite class of whiskey!” And thanks to Olaf, our preferred table was reserved in the restaurant and in the cigar bar every evening; We will definitely return to this hotel! Oh, I forgot to mention.......we've traveled a lot and have been in a lot of hotels; this was the first that offered a WALK-IN closet with ample storage storage! The two sinks in the bathroom, both a tub AND a shower were also a plus....comforts of home! (We were in a junior suite)

I do not normally advise others to completely avoid a hotel, but in this instance I do. I was disgusted by the quality of the product and standard of customer service at Motel One Stuttgart-Mitte. To begin, my welcome to the hotel was a tea and coffee machine roped off and taped up (pics attached). What a horrible way to, in the first moment of arrival, make your ‘guests’ feel unwelcome and disrespected. It is common practice at hotels all around the world to offer tea and coffee facilities in the room. If not offered in the guest rooms, hotels/hostels/motels etc offer these facilities in the common areas of the hotel (Hub by Premier Inn for instance). When I asked about this upon check in I was informed “you can pay” and collect tea from the bar. Whilst styling itself as a ‘budget hotel’ this accomodation cost over €80 per night, for that price I expect tea and coffee to be included…..as it is at a €30 hostel down the road. How dare you price gouge your guests in this manner. I asked to speak to the hotel manager (who it later turned out was not the hotel manager as he was apparently in Frankfurt). She reiterated that accessing the tea and coffee machine was “not allowed” however I may request boiling water from the bar….I accepted this solution. That night I requested a cup of boiling water and was met with a strange look and questions, I was forced to explain that the hotel manager said I could have boiling water. As I waited I got a tea bag from the tea/coffee station which was met with absolute horror by the reception staff who berated me and told me off for taking the tea bag. So as it turned out I was allowed boiling water but not a tea bag….how petty can you be? What an appalling way to treat ‘guests.’ I would have been happy to pay the 5-10 cents for the tea bag as it appears motel one count every last cent. Not to worry I had a spare tea bag in my bag….that’s an extra 10 cents for the motel one brand. Another example of the complete disregard and disrespect shown to the needs of their guests can be seen through their refusal to turn the air conditioning on!!!!! As has been remarked on by other guests on this forum. It is summer in Germany, the 2 days of my stay were above 25 and with the sun glaring in the room the room itself was above 35, as such, I had 2 wrestles, sleepless nights which affected my time in this wonderful city. When I asked about the air conditioning it was made clear that it WOULD NOT be turned on. I asked what I should do, I was told to open the window. Open the window to music, partying, car noise, car horns, airplanes, trains….and worst of all the construction work by the hotel itself….the hotel I am PAYING to stay in!!….all of which can be heard throughout the day and night. At this point I realised that all motel one care about is how much money they can make out of each guest….why pay for the electricity of the air conditioning system when the guests can have an uncomfortable and disruptive sleep….the comf

The location of the hotel is excellent, the hotel is neat and clean, the staff was friendly and helpful at all times and the breakfast was excellent. But: When charging the electric car, a blocking fee is charged, which was not mentioned anywhere. In addition, the hotel charges a parking space fee. This does not meet my expectations of fairness and transparency.

The hotel has had some recent renovations but unfortunately they used direct stick carpet which made the floor very hard. It's fairly close to everything, local train will take you into the town center, approximately 15 minutes. The room was a reasonable size and the bed comfortable. Bathroom was OK but the shower was small. It was unusual to find that the bar and restaurant were both closed . However, close by there is a supermarket where you can buy just about anything. There are also many local restaurants withing walking distance. The gentleman on the afternoon shift was extremely helpful with directions and suggestions. Another positive note, is that the hotel is walking distance to the Porsche Museum, which is a must see.

The hotel is located on the edge of a residential area on a driven street. It is located part of a larger business house. Personal is very friendly. Breakfast is very good, the room is clean and attractively furnished. Unfortunately, there are only hangs and no gardens so that early morning sunlight is only when one of the ~6m remote office workers in the same building can look into the room. The sound isolation of the walls is good, the room door unfortunately leaves quite a lot through. Bad when it uses from 6 incisive clips in the morning. Summary: Please for early business travelers.

The hotel is in a super location, you are very fast in the city. Room is clean, staff very friendly. Only the choice for breakfast could be a little better. So there are different breads , Croissant, egg , sauce , cheese , mushrooms , bread lifts, a fruit basket Since I very much like vegetables eat I missed this a little, there were small cups with a cherry tomato and 2 curry cucumbers, there had to take 20 cups to eat ” sufficient ” vegetables. But that should be just a small point! If you are not a hash and you like to have carbon hydrates for breakfast , you are here well lifted :)

It was the most traumatizing stay I ever had! The receptionst lied to me about being able to stay the next day even it was booked out on booking. She said they still have rooms and it’s still enough time to pay the next stay. I trusted her words! At 11 am when I was still asleep suddenly the housekeeping aggressively knocked on my door even the don’t disturb sign were out. They yelled in front of my door telling me I have to leave immediately!! I quickly put on some Clothes and told them that I already extended my stay. Of course I thought this incompetent receptionist blocked my room when she guaranteed me my room for the next day?! But instead those cleaners said it’s not possible to stay bc they are fully booked!! I first still thought it must be a misunderstanding, telling them what the receptionist told me the other day. She than even showed up herself. But instead of being apologetic she showed a total different face and even threatened me in an bossy tone that I have to leave by 12 pm which were in 40 min (!!) otherwise they would call the police!! 😳🤷‍♀️ I was SO shocked and disappointed but her super f*ed up behavior. I already extended the room on booking for another five nights (!!) bc she were so nice before! Everything were paid in advance!! I felt so fooled & trapped. I got only 40 min left to shower, dye my hair and to pack all my stuff!! When I just got out the shower like 20 min later and still in time (!) it started knocking on my door again. I was like wth 🤦‍♀️ When I opened the door in a towel, I couldn’t believe my eyes : IT WAS THE POLICE! like why? for what reason?? I totally didn’t get it! I was the one who got crazily trapped and degraded as never before and they are doing this to me? like why?? I calmly explained the officers what happened and Im pretty sure they themselves were thinking like what the hell are we even doing here.. I also told them that, of course I won’t return after everything what just happened and that I except to get a refund. The receptionist agreed. I promised to be out at 12 if they would let me go now to keep packing. The police left. I was never as stressed as I was in that moment! I even offered the staff some chocolate the day before..I really couldn’t believe this all just happened.. Bc I was rushing everything like crazy, I didn’t pack things properly as I normally do, so it was a challenge to close my suitcase. When it turned 12 p I was panicking like never before! I couldn’t close my suitcase.. It turned 1 after 12 and the terror immediately started again, knocking on my door/ yelling.. I just kept focusing on my suitcase. At 2 after 12 I finally got it. I went down to the front desk and were expecting my invoice and the refund as discussed before with the police. BUT, the same narc receptionist suddenly acted like she never told me so and refused to give me my money back. They obviously tried EVERYTHING to provoke and punish me for .. what exactly..? 🤷‍♀️ I asked for the manager. He called

The Ruby Hanna hotel is in a great location close to many restaurants and shops, convenient to the train stations and near several taxi stands. The room was bigger than we expected and had a practical layout with a nice sized closet (which actually had room for a suitcase!) a shelf and hooks for coats, bags etc. The bed was comfortable and located as far away from the door/hallway as possible which meant it was quiet. Despite our stay coinciding with the first weekend of the Euros, and the hotel being quite busy, once we were in our room, we did not hear other guests. A nice touch was the Nespresso machine in the room for a quick coffee in the morning. The hotel bar is beautiful and spacious. We enjoyed sampling several cocktails from their extensive cocktail menu and chatting with the staff and other guests. The breakfast was in the bar area, but we did not try it. (There are coffee shops and bakeries very close by if you want other breakfast options.) The hotel and bar staff were all very friendly and fun and definitely added to our experience. Overall, a great stay and we will definitely be back!

On arrival at reception I was welcomed by a delightful gentlemen called Marcus. He was extremely helpful and spoke excellent English (a great help as my German consists of counting to 10, please and thank you) I had booked two rooms for one night. Both rooms were clean and nicely laid out. Although the hotel is located right by a train line of some sort, we couldn’t hear any of the outside noise and several trains passed during the time we were there. The selection of items on offer in the morning was amazing. We would certainly be very happy to stay here again.

das ”neue” leonardo ist sehr schön geworden. alles sehr modern und ebenso geschmackvoll gestaltet und eingerichtet. die zimmer sind geräumig und bieten alles, was man erwartet. wir hatten ein zimmer zur straße und (aufgrund der schalldichten fenster) nichts davon gehört; im sommer wird das (bei geöffnetem fenster) sicher anders sein. das bett hatte leider eine durchgehende matratze und (nur eine!) decke; manche mögen das mögen, für uns war das nichts! bad ok, internet-empfang ausreichend. frühstück vielfältig und gut. aus dem benachbarten öffentlichen parkhaus (13 € pro tag) kommt man - trockenen fusses - über den fahrstuhl zur reception. personal freundlich und zuvorkommend. uneingeschränkt emfehlenswert!
