We opted to stay here during our visit to Stuttgart because of its proximity to the Christmas Markt. The property was not nearly as bad as implied in the previous review - albeit it does compare with a basic USA Holiday Inn. Nothing fancy; just clean, safe, convenient and a fairly priced for the downtown area. Frühstück included scrambled eggs and while the overall selection was not the best we have ever had it was satisfactory.

It is a 2-block walk to the S-Bahn and a 4-block walk to the main shopping street - Königstraße. On a future visit we would probably opt for something closer to the Hauptbahnhof if the price were affordable.

Was booked in this hotel by an unknowing business colleague. A few observations:

- Hotel is located on a quiet street off of a main thoroughfare - it's impossible to find and navigate the one-way streets surrounding it.

- The staff is rude and incapable of helping -- e.g. room has sign instructing on internet hook-up - front desk provides a telephone cable for hook-up -- then claims it's the only cable they have...

- Lobby has computer with internet access - unable to connect throughout my two day stay there.

- Breakfast - usually the saving grace of any Eurpoean fleabag hotel is dissapointing.

- Single room incredibly small, even by Euro standards.

- The photos available at expedia are laughable. Don't imagine that there is any real connection between the photos and the facility.

Can only imagnine that staying here in the summer would be torutre - with no air conditioning.

Save your money - go somwehere else.
