79%Hotel Espenlaub

Was more of a hotel then a hostel really. They have WiFi access (pretty cheap), but you have to ask, they don't tell you about it.

Nice place to stay for a solid price. Only stayed one night, but didn't really have many complaints, except that there seemed to be too few bathrooms.

Hotel located in a bit of a dodgy area (red light disctrict?) but clean, quiet room and friendly staff and a great breakfast for the cheap price. Easy access from main train station using the U-Bahn. Great for the backpacker budget.

Great hotel for the price paid. Small yet clean and comfortable rooms. Clean bathrooms. Easy to get to (either by walking or a couple of stops on metro). Fantastic breakfast. Friendly staff. Highly recomend staying here.

Breakfast is nice and very convenience to get on train.And excellent position that you can walk to center of Stuttgart within 10 minutes.If you choose single room shared bathroom, you will find that there are only two rooms to share this bathroom actually! However, the only disavantage is that a little noisy at night because rooms are just by the street. You should close windows.close

The elevator doesn't get the 5th floor, where our room was. The breakfast is quite good. The internet connection cost 2,5 eur/hour The shared bath of 5th was clean.

Everytime when I come back to hostel, there is staff available to give me the room key, this's excellent but a little suggestion is that if a proof of the room ownership (for example a card) can be issued to guest and everytime the guest should present this proof to get the key.

There's a train stop directly in front of the hotel and about 3 stops away from the main station. So great location. Though simple, but very clean and comfortable rooms too.

Really close to the Hauptbahnhof (only about a 15-minute walk or a 4-min U-Bahn ride) and the U-Bahn station is directly in front of the hotel. Great value for money, really clean and everything looks new, and much better than I thought it would be for so cheap!

It was a great hostel, but not much happening in terms of atmosphere. The staff were awesome and gave great directions and were alot of help. It was a great place to chill out in your room.

Really shady entrance but the rooms were alright. Could not sleep long, as the curtains do not prevent the morining light to bright up the room at 8 o`clock in the morning.

We booked a triple and got put on the 5th floor, where the lift doesn't even go to. I think it was some old area of the building they don't use much because after popping to other levels to use the bathroom, they are all a lot nicer. Just don't book the triple, I think the experience would be a...

She wasn't even ATTEMPTING to be quite!! We'd just start to dose off and she'd be back doing it again! After 4 times i went out and told her to be quiet coz we were trying to sleep but it made no difference. She was even slamming the door! Obviously she needed to get to the cupboard but she didn't have to be so loud!! Ppl pay to SLEEP in hotels! After that i can't be bothered saying anything nice about the place.close

It is a great value for price deal. Hostel is 10minutes walk from the center. It is clean and quite and staff is very helpful. it is not a backpacker type of hostel so do not expect parties in the common rooms.

The rooms on the top floor need renovation, and the shared bathroom looked like it hadnt been cleaned in quite a while. Other floors looked new and much cleaner. The staff were really helpful and the location was great. There was a good variety for breakfast.

The lady at the front desk was really nice and helpful. She called around to a bunch of other hostels and helped us find one. Although when we arrived they claimed that no one had called and reserved a room.

I made a mistake in the day of my reservation and didn't stay in this hostel. But, even if i canceled it two days before, they charged me the half of the price in my credit card bill. I've sent an e-mail to them, complainig about it many times, and they just didn't answered. I am very disappointed

Nothing to brag about, but good location and clean. There's also a mini "red-light" district nearby, but we stayed on a sunday night and I think the commercial sex industry takes the sabbath off too. Good luck!

While our bed was a little flimsy, the sheets were clean and there were plenty of towels. The shared bathroom was exceptionally clean as well. The only negatives were the mustiness of the room itself as well as the light entering the room at night from the street below.
