“Accommodation fine, but not enough provided to justify the expenses of the rooms.”
Great location for sightseeing as near the old town centre, and good for work as just a 5 minute walk from main transportation centre. Rooms spacious and fairly modern - good bathroom, air con but no fridge.

We enjoyed our stay and would recommend the hotel to friends and family. The town of Esslingen is a lovely place to visit, and the hotel is very well situated to both the old town and the railway station.

The hotel is in an incredible location for the Christmas market. It was a great size and the bathroom had a bathtub which was a huge bonus. The staff were very friendly and we really enjoyed our stay.
