Hotels near Umfeld Arche, Stuttgart

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.

I had a one night stay at this property and it was a mix bag.  Some highlights  - staff in general were friendly  - accessibility to the hotel is good - via public transportation and if you have your own car, there is street parking available and in the shopping centre.  Parking in the hotel's garage is on the expensive side of 17.50€ per night - rooms were spacious and clean - water pressure and temperature was good Some improvement points - bathroom size was on the small side, also found that the location of the towel cabinet in the bathroom to be quite dangerous/harzadous as it's placed within a small space area opposite the toilet bowl which if not careful you can potentially hit your head while getting up at the corner of the cabinet - zero recognition or care as a HHonors elite.  This has to be one of the first property in Germany or anywhere that matters, not offered any complimentary bottle of water in the room.  When I went to request for this after check-in at the reception, they initially was happy to bring me one, but later informed that I had to pay for it as I had the points as the option.  I find this pretty sad as it does not even cost €1 for a bottle. - again like a lot of other properties, no minibar in the room and the temperature control in the room was not the best when wanting to cool down the room. The only reason I would return to this property is because of the location, but if I had a car, I would most probably stay back at the Hilton Garden Inn Neckkerpark property which I had much better experience. 

We had preciously stayed at the Aloft in Munich, and were impressed enough to choose the Aloft chain again for a recent short visit to Stuttgart. We were not disappointed. The hotel is conveniently located a few steps from the UBahn (one stop from the Hauptbahnhof and a couple of stops away from the main centre) and is part of a new shopping complex with a range of stores and eating outlets. Facilities are modern, clean and well appointed, with spacious rooms and comfortable beds. We were especially impressed with the helpfulness of the reception staff, all of whom went out of their way to look after our needs. One of our party was without vital medication, and hotel reception took the trouble both to identify the best local medical centre to obtain a prescription and to give detailed directions for finding it. We would certainly stay here again for future visits to the city.

We were only staying here one night and chose this hotel as it seemed to be in a good location for visiting the Mercedes Benz and Porsche Museums. We had stayed at other Adina Hotels and enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately, can't say the same about this one. For a start it was difficult to find. Our GPS was giving us the runaround. Finally, we saw a temporary banner displayed indicating the Adina's location. There were roadworks and an excavation site opposite the entrance. At reception we were given instructions on where to locate the parking. Adina had their own allocated car spaces at the adjoining shopping centre's car park, so it was not straightforward. Finally, we got to our room which was fine, and the beds were quite comfortable, however we noticed there was only half a roll of toilet paper with no other spare in sight and only one bath towel. On calling reception regarding the missing towel, I was told I could pick one up from reception. As it was late, I asked if it could be dropped to our room and was told they would do so, however that never happened. We declined breakfast as we thought it was far too expensive even though reception did offer a discount of 20 euros each. Apparently, it is cheaper if prebooked online. On the upside, on checkout we asked for some advice on directions and the receptionist went to some trouble and he emailed a link to us which was quite helpful.

The hotel is quite decent, at the level of a chain hotel. The rooms are large, right on the roadside, very close to the train station, and can be reached on foot. The hotel has an underground parking lot, which requires an extra fee.

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 front desk brother is very humorous. The sanitation facilities in the room are quite good, the room is large, but there is no shelf for baking clothes. And the toilet and bathroom are separate, and it is a bit troublesome to open and close the door. Breakfast is good, but lunch and dinner are not provided, pizza and drinks are available. There are supermarkets and football fields nearby. The traffic is not very convenient, the bus station has to walk a few hundred meters, and the light rail station has to walk one kilometer. Parking is available at the entrance of the hotel.

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.

Very satisfied and cost-effective new hotel, the design comfort and location are very high. The room is large, and the floor height is very high, the color is very harmonious, the design is very user-friendly, and the layout is reasonable. It is very convenient to go anywhere. This is the only hotel in this trip that I gave according to the room type I set without negotiation. Because I found that in Europe, I want you to be a Chinese. The good room type booked with money will generally be downgraded for you and give you a small or poor room type. Finally, you have to negotiate at the front desk to give you the room type you booked. This hotel is the only hotel that did not bully me this time, and directly booked the room type for me. It must be five-star praise! There is also a warm reminder, if English is not good, set a room in Europe to set a basic room, do not add money to set another room type, because no accident, they will definitely give you a poor room type, this is my experience, this time set 1 1 night accommodation, there are 3 times that there is no re-negotiation to change the room, Living is very aggrieved. For other days, I negotiated at the front desk every day, tired!

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
