“Classical Place in Stuttgart - Great Food (avoid rooms facing Main Street)”

Steigenberger Graf Zeppelin

4 of 5 stars
London, United Kingdom
Jun 17, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

The Zeppelin has a few features that make it a good place to stay - HOWEVER, you should avoid a few weaknesses - then it will be a great place for a stop in Stuttgart.

Here is my advice -

1. LOCATION
This is a "+" and a "-" in one:
Its opposite to the Main Station (Hauptbahnhof); its next to the Koenigstrasse, main shopping area; its close to everything in the inner city you might like to do, opera, parks, etc, and the subway train is right underneath.
THE BIG MINUS is the 8-lane main road infront of the hotel; you can MITIGATE this by asking for a room to the back!
Over my last stay I was booked to the front rooms and there is a clear policy at the front desk to hand out rooms to the back First! So it took some negotiations, and it meant I traded down into a single room, with a weak mattress. But I slept well.

2. RESTAURANT
There are two restaurants - one is called Zeppelino, nice, Swabian food - very well done, great Maultaschen (dumplings).
The HIT is the the restaurant called OLIVO; if you stay overnight, you should find dinner time there; the head chef is quite famous but the restaurant is never fully booked, as the locals are quite tight on the money! Here you can eat very very good Italian food, he holds a 1* Michelin - well deserved and reasonably priced. good winelist, too.

3. OTHER SERVICES
All-in-all a friendly staff in this old-style Hotel; clearly, the breakfast room would deserve some refreshing furniture, but the buffett is quite ok. Try the local Brezels. The Bar downstairs is sometimes used for car-dealings into Eastern Europe - a bit of a turn-off. The Spa/pool has some lovely ladies working there, charges are modest and the openings are till late in the night, not bad for a stressed business traveller.

SUMMARY
Avoid rooms to the front to the street; Go to Olivo, Get a massage at arrival, and book the hotel via the internet, you get a decent price below 150 Euro, this is great value.

Ps: Drop me a mail if you have comments. Thxs

“Well located and clean hotel”

1/1 found this review helpful

This hotel is located right opposite the Stuttgart main train station. Just walk out the train station, look across the road to the right and there it is. The rooms in the hotel are very spacious and clean and modern looking. Have no complaints at all about the hotel. Would definitely stay there again if returning to Stuttgart.

“Ugly outside, beautiful inside”

Steigenberger Graf Zeppelin

4 of 5 stars
Alexandria, VA
Dec 19, 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

I stayed here on business for 4 nights in mid-December. Other reviewers are right when they say the outside is not attractive, but the inside is lovely. The lobby and restaurants are nicely decorated. This is a great hotel for a conference—the hotel provides good support. The location is perfect—across the street from the main train station and around the corner from the pedestrian shopping area and the Christmas markets. The rooms were decorated in a simple Scandinavian style and were clean and well maintained. Plenty of room for suitcases, generous closet space, a well-lit desk. The bathrooms were spotless, bright, if a bit small. The only real complaint I have was with the bed. The bed was close to one wall, so that the side facing toward the room was the side everyone must have sat/slept on because it was noticeably lower than the other side. Makes one feel like they were going to slide off the bed. The comforter was warm, but did not extend over the sides, so if you are large or if there is more than one person in the bed, it probably wouldn’t cover you completely. The front desk staff was always pleasant and helpful.

“Reasonably priced hotel in a great location”

Steigenberger Graf Zeppelin

4 of 5 stars
Leeds & Germany
Nov 16, 2007
3/3 found this review helpful

Stayed for 2 nights for a Take That concert and got a rate of €125 room only (breakfast would've been a further €21 per person but we didn't partake).
Room was fine and had all you need. Bed was comfy, bathroom was nice and the TV had English channels. Bar in the lobby was inviting and the barman multilingual and friendly. Location is great -- just opposite the main station and 5 minutes from the main shopping drag on Königstrasse. The hotel may look like a concrete box from the outside but it is fine inside.

“expensive, comfortable, and outstanding breakfast”

Steigenberger Graf Zeppelin

4 of 5 stars
Portland Oregon USA

3/4 found this review helpful

We had a most pleasant stay at the Graf Zepplin. The hotel is directly across the street from the main rail station so it took very little effort for our jet-lagged bodies and minds to reach the hotel. Our room was large, oddly-shaped, and recently remodeled. The bed and ammenities where all good. My wife had a very relaxing massage in the hotel spa which helped with her travel related stress. Stuttgart is a modern cosmopolitan cities with many foreign business travelers. Remarkably, it is difficult to find a traditional german restaurant in the central city. The Zepplin-Stube restaurant on the street level is a good choice for sampling local cuisine. The maultaschen soup (bavarian style ravioli) was especially tasty. The big treat was the amazing continental breakfast. It was clearly designed to meet the requirement of the numerous international travelers who frequent this hotel. Overall, this hotel is expensive, very comfortable, and has a great location.
