Hotel Schwanen Stuttgart-Airport Messe

Maybe not for leisure but a lot of business people stay here. The rooms were basic but more than good enough for my 2 night stay, lovely and clean and brilliant powerful shower. Typical German breakfast, I enjoyed it a lot but can imagine some people would want more choice of cooked foods. Only hot food was scrambled eggs. Staff were really nice and the hotel was in a great location from where we wanted to go. Not far from the airport and also the Italian restaurant and the pub at the back were just brilliant. Would definitely return again for a short visit.

The rooms are very clean and comfortable. Despite being close to the airport there is no noticeable noise from airplanes landing and taking off. However, there can be noise from a church clock that chimes on the quarter hour and there is also noise from traffic on a nearby main road. The breakfast is excellent and there is good choice of free newspapers, including the Herald Tribune. There is a bar area, but it is characterless. Trains run very half hour during the day to the centre of Stuttgart. There are several places to eat around the hotel, the best choice being a lovely pub that brews its own beer and offers substantial meals.

Hotel is conveniently located - just 3,5 km from Stuttgart Airport. Interestingly, no roaring planes, during take off, can be heard. However, on occasion, you may be disturbed by roadside traffic - main (small) city road goes just under the windows of hotel. Hotel staff is inconspicuous and rather not frequently spotted. Ladies at the front-desk make impression being programmed robots rather than friendly and welcoming personnel. Waitress during breakfast time are not very helpful, seemingly being everywhere but helping just a little. Rooms do not stand out from other three star hotel rooms. There is nothing special inside, neither decoration nor equipment. One can find there: a small fridge with refreshments (at not exceptionally high price), 32" LCD (with quite large number of channels, mostly German ones), a teakettle (with couple tea / coffee bags). Beds are too stiff as for my taste and a duvet along with a pillow seem to be made cheap and not too comfy. WiFi in the room is free of charge (and working fine, do not expect too high transfers), however there is no cable connectivity available. Buffet breakfast is quite decent, but as it was already mentioned waitresses are a bit lost, when the number of guest exceeds 10 - it is difficult to count on a mug of coffee or refill. The biggest disappointment was the information that gym is under renovation... it was the only place to relax in the area (obviously you may do it in a bar or nearby brewery). Although there are no nearby attractions and hotel does not provide any excitement - price for a night with a breakfast is quite fair. However the competition (namely NH Stuttgart Airport) has much more to offer for the same price.

The hotel is a standard hotel, Rooms are clean, beds are comfortable, with nothing special. Hotel is quite close to the airport, which is very convenient (not a lot of traffic to go to the airport, at any time of the day). Taxi reservation has not been managed when I was there with my clients (the taxi has not been ordered on time by reception, then we had to wait 15 more minutes to get a taxi, without any apologies from the people at reception). I adivse to double check if you book a taxi at reception. The italian restaurant near the hotel is good, with medium prices (20-25 euros/person).

I have stayed at this hotel several times during the past several years, always clean, staff friendly and not far from the airport and exhibition centre. Swabian and Italian restaurant just around the corner offering excellent food and beer.

I slept in this hotel for 1 night in september 2011. The hotel is located just behind the airport but no noise from my room durino the nigth! In the room i found a welcome bottle of water..this simple present is apreciated, breakfast is good and the staff of the hotel very kind. Negative:no wifi connection available(there is the possibility to have plug in connection ) and the cost of the park..10€/night
