- MGoHo (10/5): Freundliches Hotel direkt an der Altstadt - Das Personal war super freundlich, hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Die Zimmer sind schön und sauber. Das Frühstück war sehr gut. Das Hotel ist zentral direkt am Rand der Altstadt gelegen. Im Hof gibt es einige wenige, etwas enge Parkplätze, die sehr günstig genutzt, aber nicht reserviert werden können. Im direkten Umfeld sind aber auch öffentliche Parkhäuser vorhanden.

- Geng (10/5): - Wir kamen wegen dem Weihnachtsmarkt nach Esslingen und das Hotel war ja fast neben dem Mark. Sehr nettes Personal. Super leckeres Frühstück. Sehr sauberes Zimmer. Leider war das Bett kein DOPPELBETT. Es waren 2 Betten aneinander gestellt. Als Paar nicht sehr praktisch. Es ging immer auseinander.
- Myriam (10/5): Super Lage! - Super Lage und sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter:innen. Der Parkplatz ist ziemlich eng und vom Platz her limitiert, wurde aber vom Personal so gut wie möglich gehandhabt.
- Jeremy (7/5): - Excellent location for the old town/Christmas markets No tea and coffee making facilities in the room
- Marco (8/5): Alles in allem in Ordnung. - Lage sehr gut, direkt im Zentrum! Freundliches Personal und saubere Zimmer! Ausstattung in Ordnung, alles was man benötigt. Frühstück nicht in Anspruch genommen. Sehr wenig Parkplätze und die Parkhäuser in der näheren Umgebung überfüllt (speziell Samstags). Musste daher einen weiteren Fussweg in Kauf nehmen.

- Steven (5/5): Parking terrible. Hotel ok - It was close to the medieval market The parking was ridiculous. Layered the cars to where you could barely get in and had to wait for people to move their cars before we could move ours. The vinyl on the bed frame was peeling off.

- April (5/5): More like an English bed and breakfast than a hotel . I get the impression it was typically German - It was very clean . Little dog to welcome us in the morning . Very friendly lady in the morning with tea and coffee and breakfast . Lovely bread and cake for breakfast . Very good position . Nowhere to get any refreshments except for in the morning during breakfast service . Very small not particularly comfortable lounge which was often in use. Strong smell of smoke in foyer .

- Bernard (8/5): My October 2025 Stay at Hotel Am Scheltzor - The location of the hotel with respect to "old town" Esslingen was nice. The room was comfortable and clean.
The breakfast was OK.
- Mark (10/5): - Very pleasant hotel and friendly helpful staff. The breakfast was quite nice. Esslingen is a jewel if you like an old medieval town that extends beyond belief. We did great hikes in the local vineyards. Thanks.
- AIMILIA (8/5): Comfy hotel in the center of Esslingen. - Nice, clean hotel room, friendly staff at convenient location. The hotel is in the center of Esslingen and very close to cafes, bakery's, bars and also very close to the train station. We were a big group (20 people) that went for a festival and booked multiple rooms in the hotel. We chose this hotel because it wrote that there is available parking. Once we booked we also called to verify this and they said that yes there is available parking. However a few days before the stay they sent us an email saying that parking spots are limited and cannot be reserved. As a result some of us had to park in a external parking and pay 15 euros per day. We also called and asked if we can double park some cars so less people would pay and they agreed. But then the next morning they asked us two times to move the cars even though they were not blocking anyone. Finally, when they entered to clean the rooms they lost one of our festival wristbands that was on the table and they could not find it. That was a big problem for us.
- Kenny (6/5): -
- Uli (7/5): -
- Barbara (8/5): - die zentrale Lage und das sehr freundliche Personal
- Jean-Pierre (8/5): -
- Roland (9/5): - Die zentrale Lage ist sehr gut, mitten in der Altstadt und es ist vieles zu Fuß zuerreichen
- Johan (8/5): - Onbijt voldeed.
Gelegen vlakbij het oude centrum, en zeer rustig. bij het ontbijt waren de broodjes niet altijd even knapperig. De koffie was naar onze smaak ook minder.
De badkamer was klein met een smalle douche
- Renato (3/5): Das Hotel wäre OK, wenn die Teppiche in den Zimmern durch Parkett ersetzt würde. - Das Zimmer war bereits bei der Anreise morgens verfügbar. Das die Zimmerausstattung ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Das schlimmste war jedoch, dass das Zimmer nach altem Rauch roch. Sehr wahrscheinlich wurde früher darin geraucht. Man müsste unbedingt die uralten Teppiche rausreissen und durch einen hygienischen Belag wie Parkett ersetzen.
- Leitsmueller (10/5): - Großzügiges Zimmer
Hotel gleich bei der Altstadt. Preisgünstiger Parkplatz
- Dal Cin (9/5): - Hotel a un passo dal centro storico, camera grande e pulita un po' datata ma tutto alla perfezione,colazione buona e camera ben sororrizata. Parcheggio piccolo ma comodo dietro l'hotel. Niente da dire.

- Ute (7/5): Geht so - Nette Lage, parallel zum Aufenthalt gab es ein Weinfest auf dem Platz. Sehr verwinkelt und die Ausstattung ist schon in die Jahre gekommen. Im oberen Zimmer waren die Jalousien schwer zu schließen. Das Zimmer war auch nicht schön eingerichtet.
- Pieter (7/5): Goede basis voor tussenstop in een leuk stadje. - Ligging vlak bij het centrum van het gezellige stadje.
Vriendelijke ontvangst en verzorgd ontbijt.
Kamer brandschoon en prima bed. De airco was te lawaaiig om ‘s nachts aan te laten staan.
Geen koffie- of theevoorziening op de kamer,
Receptie vanaf 18:00 uur onbezet.
- Magdalena (8/5): - Das Hotel liegt perfekt zur Altstadt.
Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es wäre besser, statt Aufbackbrötchen frische Brötchen zum Frühstück zu servieren.
- Niels (10/5): Central placering - Bare en overnatning på den videre tur
- JUNJI (9/5): ロケーション最高で快適なホテル - ロケーションとフレンドリーな対応。
駐車場とエアコン完備で快適でした。
朝食も美味しいかったです。 冷蔵庫、コーヒーメーカーがあれば最高!
- Mika (10/5): - E-bookers had a bug in reservation concerning price of breakfast. Hotel managed it well and we didn’t have to pay extra and got even free parking. Great job and service!
- Ansell (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location and lovely staff
- valeriebU3138NF (4/5): Nightmare. Stay anywhere else. - Horrible place. I couldn’t wait to leave. It felt dirty and smelled like cigarettes. The front desk lady’s dog was chained up in the lobby barking and growling at everyone. Very small room. Outdated and dirty. I was afraid to walk on the filthy carpet. A total nightmare. Only good thing was the location in beautiful Esslingen.
- Mustafa (6/5): - Oda da buz dolabı diş seri terlik traş seti v.b hiç bir ürün yok. Otele giriş de ağır bir koku var.çift kişilik yatak olması gerekirken 2 tek kişilik yatak birleştirmesi ile yapılmış.
- Kenneth (10/5): Eßlingen and this hotel turned out to be two of the best decisions of my recent European trip - Everything about this simple, family-run hotel pleased me. Not just the well-stocked breakfast and the fast internet, but the simple things that often go unnoticed: the instant hot water, the fully functional shower head (the handheld ones often have broken wall mounts, but not this one), hooks on the walls (why is this so rare in hotels these days?), and real hangers (not the kind where they can only be used in the closet) so I could do a little sink-laundry and hang my t-shirts and socks to dry near the window. The location was also a real plus: a few hundred meters straight up the street from the train station and right on the edge of the Altstadt. And what an Altstadt Eßlingen has to offer! It was my first visit to this lovely little city, but I will return, and when I do it will be to the Hotel am Schelztor. Oh, and did I mention little Max, the friendly little pup who "guards" the reception area in the morning?
- Heli (8/5): Very good - Excellent breakfast for a hotel this size, really good location, easy to reach with car and next to old town centre. Parking lot behind the hotel tiny and unorganized. Elevator only for one person, which actually wasn't problem for us, since travelling light with small bags, just fyi.
- Reinhard (10/5): - Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt
- Olga (3/5): Not more than one night - Close to the city center Old fashion. No reception open after 16:00. Much too expensive breakfast. No children discount
- Jeffrey (8/5): enjoyable, lovely town. - close to town centre. bit cold in breakfast room.
- alexander (6/5): - Das einzige was mich gestört hat, dass der Fitnessraum die woche nicht verfügbar wa.
- Stuart (7/5): Good -
- Jane (9/5): Great hotel - Location to the Xmas market N|a
- Dena (10/5): Exceptional -
- Christina (7/5): Good -
- Josip (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect.
- Margrit (8/5): Very good - Great place all round, I will come back There was one single white bun to choose from for breakfast, it was fine on the following days
- Linda (10/5): - Location and staff was super friendly.
- Mary (8/5): - Right off the main pedestrian area and a short walk to the cathedrals. Great little hotel. Comfy beds, decent room size and clean. Furnishings a little worn but still good. Staff is fantastic friendly and helpful. Close to dining and shopping. I would definitely stay here again
