Hotel Schmales Haus

This is so much more than a hotel. It's an experience in a landmark. We had a warm welcome at the reception. And as requested we had our room at ground level. The room was beautiful and very light and was bigger than expected. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom had everything you need and the shower was heavenly. Breakfast is on the second floor and has a lovely view of the houses along the small river. Breakfast was amazing. There is a lot to choose from and everything is fresh. The freshly baked bread is amazing. The staff who works at the hotel are all very nice and give you the feeling of a home away from home. As the hotel is in the old quarter it doesn't have a parking. But that's not a problem. At the end of the street is a parking garage (Fischerviertel). As the hotel has only six rooms I advice you to book your room in advance, as it will be an experience you don't want to miss. We would love to come back!

I loved everything about this place. The location was great, the staff was friendly and super helpful, the rooms were spacious, and the view (at least from Room #1) was a dream. Let me go into more detail.||LOCATION: The location is in the Fischerviertel, which in my humble opinion is a very scenic, historical part of Ulm that connects to other very scenic, historical parts of Ulm. You can get to the Metzgerturm, cathedral, Marktplatz, and main streets full of shops, all within 10-15 minutes. You're also a bridge away from Neu-Ulm, if you want to try more modern fusion restaurants. It's about 15 minutes from the train station by foot, but there's a bus that drops you off closer.||STAFF: Very friendly staff that makes you feel at home. They assist you with everything the best way they can. We had a minor injury during our stay, and the receptionist was very kind and responsive. Definitely helped! They also cooked fresh eggs (sunny side up or scrambled) for us. It's supposed to be upon request, but they ask you proactively, which takes away the awkwardness of having to ask yourself. Just really wonderful folks.||ROOMS: For such a "small house," the rooms were pretty big. We had a view of the water and bridge. The room was complete with safe and wi-fi, with furnishings that made it look charming.||Please note there is no elevator (I wouldn't even know where they would put it, to be honest). Also note that it's an old house, so the windows aren't double paned. Which, since our room was next to the river, got very cold! By the time we came back to the hotel, the staff was gone for the night, so we couldn't get extra blankets.||TIP: Make sure you ask for extra blankets unless you're visiting during the peak of summer, or in the middle of a heatwave.

What a cool place to stay in Ulm! The room and the view was stunning! The staff were very friendly as well. We arrived after they had closed for the night but they have a key drop box so you can still get in. Breakfast was absolutely out of this world! We had a nice plate of fresh delicatessen and they made us fried eggs. We ended up parking at the fishing village parking garage a few blocks away and walked with our luggage. Minor inconvenience but to be expected in an old town like this.

A great little and narrow (Schmal) hotel in the middle of the Fischer vierten of Ulm. The breakfast was very good with a large variety of breads and cereals to choose from. I even gluten free options. Scrambled or potched eggs were also on offer.

What a gem!! In the very hart of the old Centre of Ulm. It might be ‘small’ in name, however our room - direct under the rooftop - is spacious!! And clean and modern, though the room is as we hoped it would be. Historical with its wooden beams. |I read something about ‘small stairs’. I believe they are wide enough. And easy to climb. Even for a 75 year old. |Can highly recommend this place!

Great location in the Fischerviertel Ulm. 5 minutes away is also Parkhaus. The apartment is very clean, modern and comfortable. Room had also a little kitchen. They offer a delicious breakfast with a view on the cathedral.

We arrived on a Sunday and a day on which there was a rather large festival in the town. The hotel had informed us of this in advance via SMS and told us that the city center would be closed to cars and advised us to park at the Parkhaus Fischerviertel. It was a fairly short walk from there to the hotel. The streets are cobbled and rolling luggage can be a bit jarring to manage. ||We had been informed that the hotel would not be staffed and were given a PIN to get our keys from the lockbox out front. Although the street was very noisy, none of that could be detected from our room (#1). That room is a few steps down from the entry and has window that open out to a view of the river. The beds were comfortable, the shower delightful and everything was immaculately clean. ||In the morning we went upstairs for breakfast and found a nice selection of breads and cheeses. There were also eggs and, unlike other reviewers, we found 2 members of staff ready to assist us. There was someone on staff at checkout as well.||Our stay was lovely and a wonderful start to our holiday. While some might not like a hotel with very limited staff, everything was to our liking and we found it quite convenient. The hotel's own parking could be better explained (it was not an option on the day we arrived), but the public option is nearby and fairly inexpensive. The city is lovely for a short stay and I would recommend this hotel without reservation although not for people with mobility problems (stairs).

Inside the old town of Ulm, at Fisherman neighbourhood, several water channels built to feed mills in Middle Age are creating a micro-Venice. In the middle, there is this very nice hotel having some rooms in the main building, some other spread around 100 m distance. Overall environment sounds magic! Inside both the manin building and the rooms are an extraordinary mix of modern technology perfectly married with old original pieces. On top, very kind people welcoming you and very good breakfast
