We stayed in 2 rooms of this Ludwigsberg hotel for 4 nights in mid-December when we were visiting Stuttgart (2 adults, 2 teenagers). It is a 15 minute local train ride from Stuttgart, and we chose it as a way of being out of the main city, but still with good access. The rooms were apparently fully refurbished in summer 2014, and it shows. The rooms and bathrooms are extremely clean with all we needed. Spacious enough for us all without feeling as though we were tripping over each other. Breakfast was very good, with plenty of choice for everyone - meats and cheeses, selection of cereals, pastries and croissants, several different breads and rolls, various condiments, a couple of hot (egg, sausage, bacon, baked beans), fresh fruit & fresh fruit salad, yoghurts, juices, hot drinks. We found all the staff very friendly and helpful. Wifi was excellent too. Easy walking distance to main shopping area and Christmas market (which we liked better than Stuttgart - more of a local feel and great atmosphere), and easy walk to train.
