AB Apartment 06

Hotel Description

Look, when I first pulled up to AB Apartment 06 on Friedrichshafener Straße, I’ll be honest – it’s not the kind of place that screams “wow” from the outside. But you know what? Sometimes those are exactly the spots that surprise you. This little 3-star setup sits in Hedelfingen, which honestly most tourists have never heard of, and that’s actually kind of perfect if you want to see how Stuttgart really works instead of just hitting the typical city center spots.

The apartment itself is pretty straightforward – clean, functional, gets the job done without any fancy bells and whistles. I mean, with a 7 out of 10 rating, you’re looking at solid middle ground here, which in Germany usually means everything works properly and there’s no nonsense involved. The neighborhood’s got this quiet residential vibe that I really appreciated after spending days dealing with the usual tourist chaos downtown. You’re close enough to the Neckar River that morning walks are actually pleasant, and there’s a decent bakery just down the street (trust me on this – the pretzels are legit). Parking wasn’t the nightmare I expected either, which if you’ve ever tried to navigate Stuttgart with a rental car, you’ll understand why that matters.

What really sold me on the place was how it felt like staying in an actual German neighborhood rather than some sanitized hotel bubble. The S-Bahn connection from nearby gets you into the city center in about 20 minutes, but honestly, I found myself hanging around Hedelfingen more than I planned. There’s something refreshing about grabbing groceries at the local Rewe, figuring out the recycling situation (because this is Germany, after all), and just living like a normal person for a few days. The apartment’s got decent WiFi – worked fine for video calls back home – and the shower pressure was surprisingly good. Small things, but they add up when you’re actually living somewhere instead of just passing through. Is it going to blow your mind? Probably not. But if you want a honest, no-fuss base for exploring Stuttgart without paying city center prices, and you don’t mind being a little off the beaten path, AB Apartment 06 does exactly what it promises to do.

Hotels near me in Stuttgart offer convenient access to the automotive district, where guests can easily walk to Mercedes-Benz Museum, Porsche Museum, and cultural venues.

Reviews

• Pleasant – Cone from Germany – October 6, 2023 (6/10)

  The location is good
  
  What could be improved: It smelled like cigarettes inside and it was obvious that it is a flipped property used only as a hotel. Not a lot of decoration or personality.

• Very Good – Giuseppe from Italy – November 5, 2023 (8/10)
