City Hotel Fellbach

For the price, this place is excellent, and the helpful, polite staff provide good service. Rooms are clean, well-kept and roomy enough for one or two people. The toilet and shower are smaller than most, but adequate. It's roughly between two U-Bahn stations. Breakfast is good, unlike at the nearby Best western hotel, which doesn't offer it. I'd recommend it for return visits.

The room was so small it was hard to move around the bed. I've tried a few rooms, and they all had the same issues: wall fittings like the toilet-paper holder and towel rails were falling off, and wooden furniture had loose parts. Those things should be easy to fix. Breakfast was below what I expected. There was only instant coffee, the bread was stale, and some of the fruit and cheese seemed to have been there for days. I also had no hot water in the shower in the morning, and they neither fixed the problem nor moved me to another room. One warning about payment: I paid on the hotel's website, but that card payment couldn't be used at the machine outside the building when I went to get the keys. I had to pay a second time. I'm still waiting for the prepayment to be refunded, almost a month later. That's unacceptable, especially when the amount is large.

The cleanliness here made me happy. The standard of hygiene is so high that this hotel should be an example for others, even five-star places. The room and shower are small, but enough for a night or two. The staff are friendly and breakfast is good. I recommend it 100% and would come back. Thanks.

The automated key is handy if you're delayed, since you can always get in. Breakfast was actually very good, and while there's no restaurant on site, some pretty good ones are a short walk away. Just a warning: most of them close on Tuesday, their Ruhetag. The Italian place virtually next door was the only one open, with extremely good pizzas but rather slow service. The rooms are rather small and my bathroom was tiny. Still, it's good value and perfectly adequate, so I'd recommend it.
