Hotel Ochsen

A very pleasant family hotel in a regional style, located on a quiet, charming street in a peaceful suburb. Clean and cozy, with a decent breakfast — nothing extraordinary, but good, including pretzels. The receptionist and staff were dressed in traditional regional outfits. The only downside — on the first night, the door lock wasn’t working, so we unknowingly slept in an unlocked room and only realized it after breakfast. We were apologized to and moved to another room. However, after such an unpleasant incident, I expected a gesture of goodwill, like a complimentary dinner, coffee and cake, a fruit basket, or a bottle of wine in the room — but unfortunately, that was missing.

Very nice hotel. Easy to reach it. Not so far from city center. Good breakfast and wide room.

Nice hotel for the price, but it's a bit old and the beds are hard as bricks. The hotel is conveniently located near to the Mercedes museum. It's a 5 min drive or a 25 min walk from the museum - we walked with kids no problem. Getting into Stuttgart centre is easy, as the train is just a few minutes walking away. There is also a supermarket just up the street. The hotel staff is very friendly and speaks English. The room looked and felt dated and cleaning could be better. They didn't change the sheets during our two nights stay, and the carpets looked a little dirty. The bed was made up of two separate mattresses, but these were not held together. From our room there was a nice view of some trees and windows that could be opened. The breakfast was fine, but nothing special. It was cheap, so not a bad deal. There is a restaurant located in the hotel, but it's a separate business. The food was very good, the prices fair, and service very child-friendly. The hotel also offers free parking.

My overall experience throughout my stay was just excellent. I loved the surroundings/atmosphere of the property and staff.Thy were all very supportive and helpful.

It was just amazing. we enjoyed our stay it was safe and sound.

This older building has nice, large, beautifully decorated traditional rooms. The hotel has an elevator and parking. Our double bed was two twins pushed together with lovely cotton linens and great storage space. It is conveniently located close to light rail and buses as well as freeway access. There were no wash clothes but all else was provided. The hard working staff was very helpful and efficient. The food is fantastic! This restaurant is known throughout the city for traditional regional food with very generous portions. Make a reservation because it fills up with local families. I had my first goose and it was spectacular. The breakfast buffet is wonderful with the best scrambled eggs, lots of meat, salmon, cheese, fruit, vegetable and juice choices and the fabulous European breads, croissants and cakes. Ask for espresso drinks. There is a grocery store down the street and a bakery and butcher shop. Walking in the neighborhood, you can see the Wurtemberg Kappelle in the distance.

The Hotel - staff were friendly, the room was comfortable (I was in a single), great shower, comfortable bed (except the pillow which was very small and flat & the breakfast was good.||The Restaurant - staff were friendly and the service was very good. We were in a group of 13 people and everyone’s food came at the same time and was really good!! One of the best fillet steak with green peppercorn sauce I’ve had.||The reason I only gave it 4/5 is because I got a sore neck from the above mentioned pillow and had a sore neck for 4 days afterwards.

The room was relatively modern. The bed comfortable. The bathroom was clean with a large shower area. The restaurant was good with a good selection of food and drink to choose from. The décor in the restaurant was of a Bavarian style with wood panelling. The tables were all covered with table cloths. The restaurant staff were attentive and quick to serve. Food presentation was good with large amounts served. Restaurant prices were reasonable. On the negative side, the hotel claims ample on site parking, but this was not evident. Once there are about 6-8 cars, then there is no space available. Street parking can also be difficult to find close by.
