Stuttgart's BEST Hotel? Premier Inn City Centre Review! – The Unfiltered Truth (and a Few Tea Bags)

Okay, alright, let's cut through the marketing fluff and dive headfirst into the Premier Inn City Centre in Stuttgart. Forget the glossy brochures; this is where I spill the beans. Consider this my personal, slightly bonkers, and utterly honest take. Prepare for a rollercoaster, because, well, that’s life, isn't it?

First Impressions: The Arrival & Accessibility - (or, "Where's the freaking ramp?!")

Getting to the hotel? Easy peasy. The location is BANG on, smack-dab in the heart of the city. Accessibility, though? Hmmm. Let's be real, navigating the cobbled streets of Stuttgart with a suitcase could be a Olympic sport. The hotel itself is pretty accessible, at least from what I could see, with a lift (essential!), but I didn't personally need to test it with a wheelchair, so I'll defer to the official accessibility details. Look, I'm just a regular travel blogger okay?

The Room: My Fortress of Solitude… with Free Wi-Fi!

The rooms. Ah, the rooms. Let's start with the good: Free Wi-Fi in all rooms?! YES! This alone earns serious brownie points. Because, you know, Instagram doesn't post itself. My room was clean, a bit on the compact side (standard for city hotels, I've come to accept) but perfectly functional. Air conditioning? Check. Blackout curtains? Double check. These are crucial for beating jet lag. Seriously. I am one sensitive sleeper. The bed? Comfortable. Not cloud 9 comfortable, but let's be real, I’ve slept on worse (a particularly bumpy bus ride in Peru springs to mind). I slept so well, I wanted to write a love letter to the mattress, but I didn't want reception to look at me funny. The bathroom was… well, a bathroom. Clean, functional, and the shower had decent water pressure. Crucial.

Things That Matter (to ME!):

Now, the nitty gritty. Things really mattered.

• Internet Access: Duh. Free Wi-Fi is amazing. I mean, I work from my laptop, so I think the access is great. There’s also LAN if you’re into that old-school vibe.
• Cleanliness and Safety: Hand sanitizer everywhere. You know, the usual post-pandemic precautions. Rooms seemed clean, and I felt safe enough.
• Services & Conveniences: Daily housekeeping was a lifesaver. I'm a disaster. There's also a 24-hour front desk – always a plus, especially if you're like me and have a habit of locking yourself out of your room.
• Available in All Rooms: Air Conditioning: Yep. Alarm Clock: Yep. And the all-important Coffee/tea maker: Double Yep! They provided tea. Actual tea! I'm a Brit, so this is non-negotiable. My inner tea-monster was appeased.
• Dining, Drinking, Snacking: The hotel has a restaurant. I actually had breakfast there, which was included in my rate. (More on that later.) There’s a bar, too, which, after a long day of sightseeing, is always welcome.

Breakfast: The Buffet Battleground

Breakfast. Ah, breakfast. This is where things get… interesting. The buffet – which is a nice touch – was, well, a buffet. Full of the usual continental suspects: pastries, cereals, cold cuts. The coffee was… passable. Look, I'm a coffee snob. I missed my local barista. But it did the job of waking me up. The hot food offerings were… adequate. I'm not gonna rave about it, but I'm not going to complain either. The staff were friendly, which always makes a huge difference.

The Fitness Center & Spa (Or, My Failure to Relax)

Okay, here's where my review takes a slight dip. I'm usually all over the fitness center, but I spent the entire trip being active in Stuttgart, not working out. And the Spa? I actually looked for it and couldn’t find a specific spa room or service, but I think there was one. I honestly didn't dive too deep into the relaxation offerings (or lack thereof.) My bad, truly. After a long day of exploring, I craved an ice-cold German beer and a good sleep.

The "Stuff" That Most Hotels Have:

• CCTV. Check. Always a good safety measure.
• Check-in/Out. Quick and easy. No drama. (Unless you cause it.)
• Luggage Storage. Convenient when you have a late flight.
• Business Facilities: If you need to print something or have a quick meeting, they seem to have what you need.

The Quirks, the Quibbles, and My Unasked-For Opinions:

• Soundproof Rooms: Yes, mostly. But, you know, sometimes you can hear the excitement of the city, which can be good or bad.
• Room Sanitization Opt-out: I didn't opt-out, so I can't tell you.
• Doctor/nurse on call: Glad I didn’t need to test it.
• Family/child friendly: Seemed like it. Though I did notice several Business Travelers.
• Couple's room: I didn't try it. (Single life, baby!)
• Pets allowed: Nope. Sorry, Fido.

The Verdict: Stuttgart's Best? Maybe NOT, But…

So, is the Premier Inn City Centre Stuttgart the absolute best hotel in Stuttgart? Possibly not. It’s more of a solid, reliable choice. It's a good value hotel, especially considering the location. I wouldn't send you here if you wanted to be pampered, but if you want a comfortable, clean, conveniently located base from which to explore Stuttgart, then absolutely go for it.

Here's the real, unfiltered truth: I'd stay here again. It ticked most of the boxes, the staff were friendly, and the free Wi-Fi was a lifesaver. Plus, having a good bath after walking around Stuttgart all day is so worth it.

AND NOW FOR THE GRAND FINALE: My Unbeatable Offer!

Look, I can't officially offer you anything. But, based on my utterly reliable (wink, wink) review, I'd say if you want a no-fuss, centrally located hotel with amazing free Wi-Fi in Stuttgart, giving the Premier Inn City Centre a look is a great idea. Check out the price and book it straight away if it's right for you.

Here's why you should book NOW:

• Prime Location: Seriously, you're right in the thick of it.
• Free Wi-Fi: Because, come on.
• Clean & Comfortable: Simple as that.
• Breakfast Included (sometimes!): Always a bonus.
• Fair price: Good for your budget,

So go on, book it. It probably is one of the best hotels in Stuttgart. And have a good cup of tea for me.

(Disclaimer: This review is based on my personal experience and subjective opinions. Your mileage may vary. I am not associated with Premier Inn. I just really, really like free Wi-Fi.)

Okay, buckle up buttercup, because this isn't your grandma's travel itinerary. This is the Stuttgart, Germany, Premier Inn City Centre diary of a mildly caffeinated, slightly bewildered, and perpetually hungry traveler. Prepare for a journey through my chaotic brain, complete with train woes, sausage reveries, and existential dread about whether I can REALLY handle another pretzel.

Day 1: Arrival and the Agony of the Train (aka "He Shoots, He Scores… Eventually")

• 14:00 - Arrival in Stuttgart, Main Train Station (Hauptbahnhof): Oh, the glorious, echoing Hauptbahnhof! It's a magnificent chaos of people, luggage, and that distinct smell of… well, a train station. My first impression? Overwhelming. Finding the Premier Inn from here, with my luggage, felt like navigating a particularly elaborate maze designed by a sadist. (Side note: Why are German train station signs so aggressively functional? No friendly fonts or whimsical illustrations here. Just… efficiency, which, frankly, intimidated me.)
• 14:30 - Check-in at Premier Inn: Ah, blessed air-conditioning and the promise of a proper toilet. The room? Standard Premier Inn fare. Clean, functional, and about as exciting as a beige sock. But the staff! Bless their hearts, they were patient with my atrocious attempts at German (I'm pretty sure I accidentally ordered a stapler instead of a coffee). And now for the important stuff..
• 15:00 - Reconnaissance Mission - Pre-Dinner Sausage Scouting: Right, I'm on a mission. A mission to find the perfect Wurst. I read somewhere that you can't truly experience Germany without stuffing your face with sausage. So, armed with a map I’d downloaded, I ventured forth. The first Imbiss (small snack stand) I found had a line snaking down the street. "Excellent," I thought, "This is a good sign." After fighting through the throng of hungry locals I got my first taste.
  • Verdict? Meh. A bit… rubbery. Perhaps I got the wrong kind. Or maybe my expectations were just too high. Deflated, I trudged back to the hotel, promising myself a more strategic sausage assault tomorrow.
• 18:00 - Dinner at a random restaurant: My map wasn't working. I was hungry and lost, and the prospect of another pretzel made me want to scream. I went to the first restaurant I saw.
  • Food report: The food was fine. The beer was great. The restaurant was loud. I felt… detached. I guess this is what being a solo traveler is all about.
• 21:00 - Early Night: Jet lag and sausage disappointment. Zzzzzzzz.

Day 2: Cars, Canals, and Culinary Redemption (aka "The Sausage Strikes Back!")

• 09:00 - Breakfast at Premier Inn: Pretty standard fare, but the coffee saved me. And the little packets of jam! Ah, the simple pleasures…
• 10:00 - Mercedes-Benz Museum: Okay, now we're talking. I'm not a huge car person, but the sheer scale of the Mercedes-Benz Museum is breathtaking. The history, the engineering, the gleaming chrome… It’s a testament to German ambition, and slightly intimidating. (Side note: I spent way too long trying to figure out how to open the doors of a vintage Mercedes. I now know I don't have the proper muscles.)
• 13:00 - Lunch & Canal-side Stroll: Found a nice spot to eat a Bratwurst with a roll, which was a big improvement, along a canal. I swear, the sun seemed to glint just a little more brightly, the sausage tasted a little more delicious, and the world felt… less menacing. A decent-looking pretzel. I caved. Don't judge. They're deceptively good.
• 15:00 - Stuttgart Art Museum (Kunstmuseum): Modern art is always a fun gamble, right? Some of it was utterly bewildering, some of it genuinely beautiful. I'm still not sure I understood the exhibit on… well, I'm not even sure what it was. But hey, at least I tried.
• 18:00 - THE SAUSAGE APPRECIATION CEREMONY: Armed with my newfound knowledge of Wurst varieties, I embarked on a sausage quest. I'm talking detailed research on local vendors, studying up on spices, the whole nine yards. And then…I found it. The perfect Currywurst. Spicy, smoky, with a sauce that could make a grown man weep with joy. Glorious.
• 21:00 - Beer Garden Bliss (or, My Attempt at Socializing): Found a lively beer garden. Made a valiant effort to strike up conversations with some locals. My German is still terrible. But the beer was flowing, and the atmosphere was joyous, so I pretended to understand. At least I think I did.

Day 3: The Market, the Palace, and the Dreaded Departure (aka "So Long, Sausage Dreams")

• 09:00 - Breakfast (Again!): Okay, I think I’m addicted to those little jam packets. Send help.
• 10:00 - Stuttgart Market Hall (Markthalle): What a sensory overload! Spices, cheeses, flowers, pastries… The market is a riot of color and aroma. I spent far too much time trying to choose a souvenir, and ended up buying a ridiculously expensive bottle of mustard. I regret nothing.
• 13:00 - Lunch at the Market Hall: I got a cheese and meat platter. The cheese was a revelation. I'll forever chase that flavor.
• 14:00 - Neues Schloss (New Palace): Beautiful! Like, seriously beautiful. It's a castle. What more do I need to say?
• 16:00 - Last-Minute Sausage Farewell: One final Currywurst. To toast to the good times. And to the sausage gods.
• 18:00 - Departure: Time to go. I feel… oddly sentimental. Stuttgart wasn't perfect. It's a bit… well, it's German. But I had some good times, ate some amazing food (that sausage, still dreaming of it!), and survived the dreaded German train system.
• 19:00 – Back to the Hauptbahnhof: One last look at the looming facade. Maybe. Just maybe. I'll come back. But first, I need to find a good Currywurst near my next destination!

Premier Inn Stuttgart City Centre: The Good, the Bad, and OMG, That Wall! (My Very Unfiltered Review)

So, is Premier Inn Stuttgart City Centre actually any good? Like, REAL good?

Okay, deep breath. "Good" is a tricky word, isn't it? For the price? Yeah, it's generally *okay*. You get a bed, a shower, the blessed wifi (thank the heavens), and a location that's pretty darn central. It's not going to blow your mind with luxury. Think of it more as a functional, affordable, and generally clean base of operations. Think of it more like a solid, dependable, slightly boring friend you can always count on, even if they aren't that exciting. But, and this is a BIG but... there were moments. OH, THERE WERE MOMENTS. Moments where I considered setting fire to a pillow. But we'll get to that...

The location... is it *really* as central as they say? Because Google Maps sometimes lies...

Alright, listen up. The location is actually pretty darn *spot on*. Seriously, it's a winner. Right in the thick of it. Walkable to the main shopping streets, the Schlossplatz (which is gorgeous, by the way, especially at Christmas with the lights... *sigh*), and public transport is *right there*. Like, you trip over a tram line on your way out. I mean, you could *almost* roll out of bed and land in a pretzel stand. (Note: I haven't tried this, but I'm tempted next time.) So, location? Absolutely. Big tick. Just be prepared for a bit of city noise at night. I’m a light sleeper, and let’s just say earplugs became my best friend.

Let's talk about the rooms. What's the deal with the rooms? Are they... prison-y?

"Prison-y" is a good starting point, actually. They're functional, but not exactly inspiring. Think minimalist. Very, very minimalist. Think, "Could I live in a pod?" and then imagine that pod, only slightly bigger, with a TV. The bed itself? Comfy enough. Clean? Mostly. (See below for the "mostly.") The bathroom is small but efficient. The shower pressure? Acceptable. But... and here comes the *but*... my room. My room was, shall we say, emotionally challenging. I chose a room on the lower floor (mistake number one). I looked out at... A WALL. A brick wall. Like, the wall of the building next door. I kid you not, I could have reached out and touched it. *That wall* became a symbol of my existence within that room. I named it "Ernst". We had ups and downs. Ernst and I. I felt trapped. But, the AC was amazing, and the bed was comfy, so, you know… Silver linings.

What about the breakfast? Is the breakfast worth it? Please, tell me the breakfast is worth it.

Breakfast. Ah, the breakfast. Alright, here's the thing. I'm a breakfast person. I *crave* the breakfast. And Premier Inn breakfast? It's... fine. Like, genuinely, it's edible. Scrambled eggs (which, let's be honest, can be a gamble), bacon (the holy grail), sausages, continental bits and bobs (bread, pastries, the usual suspects). It's all very… mass-produced. It's not going to win any Michelin stars. But, and this is important, it's *convenient*. You're already there, you're hungry, and it fills a hole. Is it worth the extra money? Well, if you’re on their website, check the price. It fluctuates depending on the day, the season, the phase of the moon. If it's reasonably priced: go for it. If it's extortionate, ditch it and find a bakery. Stuttgart has AMAZING bakeries. Especially the pretzel ones.

Anything else that wasn't perfect? Hit me with the downsides!

Okay, deep breaths. Beyond Ernst the Brick Wall (I'll never get over it!), there were a few other minor niggles.

• **Housekeeping:** One day, my room wasn't cleaned until late afternoon. I got back from a long day and felt like I'd be arriving at a crime scene.
• **The elevator:** Can be slow. Seriously slow. And you're sharing it with a LOT of other people. So, learn patience while you wait.
• **The air conditioning:** Can be a little... erratic. Sometimes blasting, sometimes not. That was a trial.
• **Noise:** As mentioned, city noise. Earplugs are essential!

And, yes, I did find a stray hair in the bathroom *once*. But in all truthfulness it wasn't too bad, I mean, the hair was probably mine.

Customer Service? Are the staff helpful?

The staff, generally, were lovely. Friendly, helpful, and spoke decent English (my German is, shall we say, *still* improving.) Whenever I asked for extra towels, they sorted it. They were genuinely trying their best and it's a huge deal. Smiles and helpfulness go a long way. And the service for breakfast was speedy, efficient, and always with a smile. I mean, give me a friendly face, and I forgive a lot.

Would you stay there again? Be honest!

Okay, total honesty? Yes. Probably. Despite Ernst (I'm still not entirely over it, okay?), the location, the generally decent price, and the helpful staff make it a reasonable choice. If I'm after a budget-friendly, centrally located place to crash while exploring Stuttgart...I'd consider it. But next time, I'm specifically requesting a room with a view. And maybe bringing my own sound machine. And maybe a tiny brick to throw at Ernst. JUST KIDDING. (Mostly.)
