Staff was very friendly the rooms were modern and clean. Good breakfast fast easy check in and out. Close to a park, restaurants, ice cream and fruit market. Didn’t love the bed pillows but that is a small detail. I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel was in an excellent location and rooms very clean. My husband and myself were both ill during our stay and the staff were very accommodating and helpful.
We weren’t able to enjoy the beautiful surroundings but if we are fortunate enough to return we would definitely stay here.

The hotel and staff did not disappoint! I went just for an overnight stay but enjoyed even this short time. The location is perfect with walking distance to the heart of the city. The room was clean with updated interior.
Checkin/out was super easy and the staff very friendly.
It's a 3x thumbs up from me :)

The location is just perfect!
The location was perfect as this hotel is literally in the heart of the city and no far from public transportation, landmarks, restaurants and shops. The room has air condition so hot summer temperatures were not an issue. Breakfast was not included but it was not really needed because there many great places to eat around the hotel.

This hotel is very close to the downtown/shopping area. There is a small park across the street. Everything is withing walking distance.
The bathroom was small but clean and the breakfast was adequate with very good coffee. The beds seemed to have newer mattresses and were comfortable.
We tried to sleep with the window open but the street noise was loud and someone was smoking just below us.
If you have large luggage you will need to carry them up a few stairs into the main lobby.
Overall a good one night stay.

Location was my favorite part about this hotel. In the center of Esslingen, easy walk anywhere. Nearby restaurants are good and stay open late. The staff was very polite and helped me with my German when I asked for words/advice. The beds we're a little hard, and the AC was a little noisy, but I still loved the hotel and will come here again if I get the chance.

Business stay was ok
Wifi was out one night and advertised air conditioning but did not work. I asked front desk and they said they could operate from their office but never did. Also phone did not work and asked for extra hangers but never brought them. Breakfast was really very good and location in center of Esslingen and by train station was perfect.
