Historical Traveler Reviews of Le Meridien Stuttgart
Worth every penny
from MaryJq
I went here with my boyfriend and it was fantastic! The rooms were beautiful and quiet (even though on a busy main road) and there are several U and S-Bahn stations within 5 minutes walk, which will take you right into the centre of Stuttgart. The swimming pool and spa were difficult to find, but gorgeous once you got there. The breakfast was delicious (especially the pastries) and the coffee was the best I've ever tasted! I would recommend this to anyone.
Wouldnt recommend this hotel
from sigurros2
Very dissappointed, we arrived at the hotel at 5 pm coming from another European country by flight. At the front desk we were told that we couldnt get a room because we were so late!! We booked the hotel by phone and email 2 months in advance, we were never asked for a creditcard but got a very nice email that the manager were looking so much to see us in september. Upon arrival we were told you should have given us your creditcard numer! After lot of discussion we got a room for 1 night but we had booked 2. The manager and the clerk were very unprofessional and at the hotelbar we found out that they had, had a problem with the booking so we were not they only couple in trouble. The girl at the front desk even told us "we have never had so many people at the hotel before"
If you are going on a business trip I would recommend that you stay elsewhere in Stuttgart. The location isnt that great you have to walk through a public garden and trainstation to get to restaurant/shopping area by foot.
Fabulous concierge
from caroline427
Have just stayed at the Meridian for 4 nights with a trip to Heidelberg midway staying over night, this was no problem for The Concierge who kept the bulk of our luggage safely and ensured it was deposited in our new rooms on our return. Hotel facilties excellent, indoor pool mostly empty, fabulous breakfasts , obliging staff, no complaints whatsoever. Welldone !
Great rooms/location/price
from A TripAdvisor Member
We got a nice rate here from Expedia - requested an extra bed for our 5 year old - no problem (and no add'l charge). This hotel is like a Westin in the USA - modern, great bed, hi-tech. Flat screen TVs in rooms, great a/c, very nice bathrooms. Location is fantastic. Highly recommended.
Also, there's a great bakery behind the hotel - easy walk for breakfast. Go up the stairs, then take a soft right on Urban Strasse. A few doors down on the right.
Expensive but worth it for the spa alone
from A TripAdvisor Member
This hotel is across a park from the train station. If you are travelling Europe and have time for a rest from heavy sightseeing, this is the place to go. The pool, jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, showers were superb. The breakfast buffet included champage and fresh squeezed orange juice--for mimosas if you like. There were 5 kinds of honey, huge selection of meats, cheeses, fruits, breads etc. The rooms were large and comfortable. Expensive but worth it.

Fabulous!
from A TripAdvisor Member
First I received a very warm and friendly welcome. My room was not large, but very stylish, a beautiful design and also very functional. For a rate of Euro 125.00 breakfast was included - and it was fabulous, choices galore! Food is very good in the restaurant and room service, too. The spa is even better than the pictures look. I loved it! The gym is nice, new equipment and a spacious room - and downstairs the pool and the whirlpool are decorated very zen... what a treat!! I doubt that anywhere in the US you can find such a beautiful hotel for such a great rate! ( Or even double the rate!) And in additon you are a 5 minute away from the castle and the center of town.
If I ever go back to Stuttgart, I know I'll be back in the Meridien!
Still Working Out the Kinks
from SReh
This will be a great business option in Stuttgart when they work out some of the problems they are having, many of which can be attributed to the fact that it has been open only for a few months. I stayed on the executive club floor in March, 2005. The facilities (rooms, spa, business center and restaurant) are very nice and the location is very convenient. The concierges were very good. Some problems were: room service, wake-up call reliability and housekeeping. Twice my breakfast card was not taken from my doorknob. Twice I received a jar of jam with breakfast that had been opened and half eaten(!) I booked three spa treatments and one had to be rescheduled to a later time and one had to be cancelled (by them!) Housekeeping did the bare minimum and would not accept the tip I kept leaving. Most of the staff were cheery and friendly, but some were sullen. Despite this, the hotel has a lot of promise and offers good facilities and a nice restaurant at reasonable business rates.
Great Hotel!
from A TripAdvisor Member
We went there just 5 days after its been opened (Previously an Intercontinental Hotel). Staff there were very friendly, polite and helpful. The room we had was excellent, very stylish, minimalist and modern. We liked the French Restaurant there, the food and service was always first rate. We highly recommend their Sunday Brunch which is very good value. You get a wide selection of food which is on par to top restaurants, you can also choose from a wide variety of drinks (included in the price) including champagne.
The only down side to this is the spa treatments. The health spa wasn't fully running when we went and the beauty therapist was a bit inexperienced. Although the massage was good, it wasn't exceptional (compared to similar spa treatments).
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel to other visitors to Stuttgart.
Excellent Location
