EmiLu Design Hotel

From the lobby to the rooms, the hotel is laid out really well, and the lighting deserves a special mention. Staff were attentive, and you can get a glass of wine or beer any time, day or night. My room was thoughtfully arranged and had the best shower ever. The hotel sits among Stuttgart’s best restaurants, brewers, historic buildings and transport links. One of the best hotels I’ve stayed in, and I’d return in a heartbeat.

Breakfast is served in the morning, with a well-prepared buffet and à la carte egg dishes. This is a nice boutique hotel in central Stuttgart, within walking distance of the Rathaus and pedestrian area. The rooms are okay, but evenings can get a bit loud because of the surrounding area.

There are plenty of great restaurants in the area, which is also ideal for shopping and walking around. The hotel is modern, clean and really nice, with a very good breakfast. Staff were friendly and spoke English well.

The rooms, facilities and rooftop lounge are excellent, and the location is convenient for the center and public transport. But we stayed Friday and Saturday and got no sleep because of the noise nearby. Our room faced the side, almost directly above a fast-food shop open until 5 a.m., and the same street has a nightclub that runs until 6 a.m. or noon depending on the day. At the moment it opens Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Noise from the shop below and the club’s bass made sleeping impossible, and the club has very poor soundproofing. We’re used to city-center hotels, but this nearby nightclub really lets an otherwise excellent hotel down.
