Vaihingen an der Enz Holidays from £135

Staff was extremely helpful

The sauna was great!

We loved how easy it was to take the S Bahn and walk across the path to the hotel. It could not be easier/shorter distance. Nicely maintained hotel. Lovely proximity to walk down Main Street of Echterdingen. In general the room was clean and comfortable with general amenities. Except the AC was not working and it was roasting in our room. We called the front desk as soon as we checked in and they told us just to wait, it takes time…we sweated through the night. The next day a German friend we were visiting called the front desk when she learned we had no AC. They told her they had some technical problems and would put a fan in our room for our second night. Somehow the AC in the lobby was working. In a hotel that size, were there really no rooms to move us to with functioning AC?

The spa was a nice surprise, great pool. The rooms was huge, but no aircon, so very warm in the summer. The bar was never attended, so difficult to get beverages at any time. The food was limited in choice and average quality. But the location is stunning.

was really pleased with myself finding an excellent rate for this hotel which to be fair is a basic hotel but more than adequate and importantly clean. I wasn’t however very popular with my family who report having the worsts night sleep on account of the heat experienced at the moment and the hotel not having any air conditioning. Even in the dead of night the temperature registered as being 31 degrees in the room. They did have a little desk fan in the room but the hot air was just stagnant and it didn’t spilt well between the 3 of us. In hindsight I should have spent that extra £50 and had one of the neighbouring hotels that do have air conditioning to guarantee a good nights sleep. That said it is a great little place and I wouldn’t discount in it winter months (they have heating!) but it’s not very comfortable when it’s hot. As mentioned the rooms were basic but are a good size and ideal for families with young children. Clear instructions were given for arrival after 2pm when the reception desk then becomes unstaffed. It’s in a great location with free parking. Bottles of water were appreciated only there was only one fridge to share on our whole floor located in the main hallway which was full of people’s food. Breakfast was included but wasn’t great to be honest and apart from orange juice we didn’t have anything. Staff we encountered were friendly and the hotel has a very laid back vibe.
