Hotels Near Terra Australis in Stuttgart

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. 

Pros- Funky hotel in a central location. You can walk to the city center. Very close to U6 tram which goes directly to the airport. Stay at room 520 for for nights. The room was spacious with bright lights. The bed was big and comfy. The staff is young and energetic. Cons - breakfast lack varieties. Send message to staff via tablet/ipad provided in the room but no response. The fridge was not working.

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.

It's a nice hotel, located behind the main station, about 10 minutes by walk from the station to the hotel, but the hotel is not close to the King street. The breakfast is good, especially supplied the whole cooked Salmon everyday, that's great.

when we arrived, hardly any reception staff on duty. When we saw our room, we were shocked, it was small and gloomy with a display case (bizarrely) showing snacks! The light to the display case is joined to the room lighting so can be switched off separately. Reception advised nothing could be done, so we said we would leave and I contacted a hotel we had stayed at the start of our holiday, the stay in the Steigenberger was our last night in Germany. Reception then said we could be upgraded, by this time it was late and very heavy rain. The upgrade room seemed OK but when we used the TV, it kept switching itself off! Breakfast was abysmal, a dreary pub overlooking the entrance to an underpass. Initially, we didn't know where the food was and no staff around to direct us. When we found the food, it had clearly been sitting out for some time, there was a huge quantity of food considering only one person was there when we arrived and only 2 others came as we were leaving. We stayed in this hotel some years ago when the breakfast room was upstairs and there were lots of guests and staff who were interested in providing good service. It was disapoointing to see how lacklustre the hotel has become and difficult understand how it has kept its star rating, the hotel is not to the usual Steigenberger standard.

Das schlechteste und mieseste Hotel in dem ich je war!!!! Gebucht direkt über die Homepage. Und damit fing es auch schon an!!!! Nach der Buchung bekam ich KEINE Bestätigung via Mail zugeschickt. Erst nach 2 maliger Aufforderung an die angeführte E-Mail Adresse. Angekommen im Hotel wurde uns mitgeteilt, dass es kein warmes Wasser gibt aufgrund diverser Probleme. Das Schwesternhotel wurde uns angeboten, jedoch waren wir schon den ganzen Tag unterwegs und erschöpft und wollten einfach nur auf unser Zimmer. Das Schwesternhotel wäre ca. 30 Minuten weiter entfernt gewesen. Habe dann das Wasser getestet, es war kalt/lauwarm. Zum schnell abduschen für uns ok, allerdings nicht für den vollen Preis. Die Rezeptionistin bot an 1 Frühstück gratis, ich stimmte nicht zu und wollte den Chef sprechen. Der wäre nicht da und auch nicht verfügbar. Ich hätte sonst bis 18:00 Zeit dann verfällt die Reservierung oder ich soll mir halt ein anderes Hotel suchen!!! Wahnsinn das ganze und sowas von unfreundlich! Dann ging sie mit dem handy für einige Minuten weg. Nach langem hier und her einigten wir uns auf minus 50% auf die 2. Nacht. War ok für mich. Dann ging die Diskussion aber weiter. Die Rezeptionistin hatte keinerlei Informationen über meine Buchung bzw Preis für 2 Nächte und wollte mir dann einen höheren Preis das Frühstück nochmal extra dazu rechnen!!! Irre war das und einfach nur eine Frechhheit!!! Zeigte ihr dann meine Bestätigung der Buchung für 2 Nächte inkl. Frühstück. Aber rechnen konnte sie trotzdem nicht! Das Frühstück war ok, mehr nicht. Brot teilweise vom Vortag, Joghurt mit eingetrockneten Rändern! Sonst kaum Auswahl und sehr überschaubar. KEIN Safe im Zimmer!!! Auch darauf hatte die Rezeptionistin keine Antwort! Zimmer war sehr spartanisch eingerichtet. Bad mit Dusche und vertrecktem Duschvorhang! Alles in Allem: furchtbarer Aufenthalt! Dringend davon abgeraten!!!

Nice hotel. The breakfast room is spacious and bright. The location is in the center. It is very convenient. Next to it is the rewe supermarket, which meets the needs of daily necessities. The ubahn berliner platz is convenient for travel. The hotel staff are very polite. It is a pleasant trip.

Very satisfied with this new hotel with high cost performance, design, comfort and location. The room is large, with a very high floor height, harmonious colors, user-friendly design and reasonable layout. It's very convenient to go anywhere. This is the only hotel in this trip that gave me the room type I booked without any negotiation. Because I found that in Europe, as long as you are Chinese, you will usually be downgraded to a smaller or worse room type if you pay extra for a good room type. In the end, you have to go to the front desk to negotiate to get the room type you reserved. This hotel is the only hotel that didn't bully me this time and directly booked me a room type. It must be rated as five stars! Another tip, if you don’t speak English well, when booking a room in Europe, book a basic room. Don’t pay extra to book a different room type, because if nothing else, they will definitely give you a worse room type. This is based on my experience. , this time I booked a 1-1 night stay, but there were only 3 attempts to change rooms without re-negotiation, which made my stay very frustrating. On other days, I have to negotiate at the front desk every day, which is very tiring!

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.
