Brandneues Stadtglanz Apartment

Hotel Description

First Impressions

Walking up to Brandneues Stadtglanz Apartment on Bönnigheimer Straße, you immediately get that “this is going to be good” feeling. The building has this sleek, contemporary vibe that screams modern comfort without being pretentious about it. I mean, the name literally translates to “brand new city glamour,” and honestly — it delivers on that promise. You’re in Zuffenhausen, which might not ring bells for everyone, but it’s actually this perfectly positioned district that gives you easy access to Stuttgart proper while keeping you away from the tourist chaos.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s what I love about this spot — couples have been raving about it, and I totally get why. Zuffenhausen has this authentic German neighborhood feel where you can actually experience local life. The four-star property sits in what recent guests rated as an 8.5 location, which is pretty impressive when you consider how picky travelers can be. You’ve got the Porsche Museum just a short ride away (because, well, Stuttgart), and the S-Bahn connections make getting into the city center surprisingly painless. Plus, there’s parking included — and it’s free, which in Germany is basically like finding a unicorn.

The Apartment Experience

What sets this place apart is that you’re getting a proper apartment experience, not just a hotel room. The space feels genuinely lived-in but pristine — you know what I mean? There’s a full kitchen setup that’s actually functional, not one of those sad hotel kitchenettes with a broken coffee maker. I spent a morning making breakfast here, and it felt natural, like I was staying at a friend’s place rather than some sterile accommodation. The design is clean and modern without being cold, which is honestly harder to pull off than you’d think.

Neighborhood Vibes

Zuffenhausen surprised me — it’s got this working-class authenticity that you don’t find in the touristy parts of Stuttgart. There’s a decent restaurant scene within walking distance, nothing fancy but solid local spots where you’ll hear more German than English. The streets are quiet enough for a good night’s sleep, but you’re not stuck in the middle of nowhere either. I actually enjoyed the evening walks around the neighborhood, something I rarely do when I’m staying in city centers.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea — if you need to be in the absolute heart of Stuttgart’s action, you might feel a bit removed. But for couples especially (and the ratings back this up), it hits this sweet spot of comfort, space, and value. The free parking alone saves you a headache and probably 20 euros a night. You get the independence of an apartment with the reliability of a well-managed property, plus that satisfying feeling of discovering something that’s not on every tourist’s radar. It’s the kind of place where you actually unpack your suitcase instead of living out of it.
