Evangelische Diakonissenanstalt Stuttgart

Hotel Description

Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first pulled up to Evangelische Diakonissenanstalt Stuttgart on Rosenbergstraße – the name alone is quite the mouthful. But you know what? This place completely surprised me in the best way possible.

It’s tucked away in Stuttgart-West, which is actually perfect if you want to experience the city like locals do rather than being stuck in some touristy bubble downtown. The building itself has this understated, almost institutional charm that grows on you – it’s clean lines and no-nonsense architecture, but there’s something genuinely welcoming about it once you step inside. The staff immediately made me feel like I was staying with people who actually cared, not just going through the motions. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward, and they seemed to know the neighborhood inside and out, which came in handy more than once.

What I really loved about this spot is how it sits right in the heart of a proper residential area. You’ll wake up to the sounds of actual Stuttgart life – people heading to work, kids walking to school, the occasional tram rumbling by in the distance. There’s a bakery just down the street that locals line up at every morning (seriously, follow the smell of fresh pretzels), and you’re within walking distance of some genuinely good restaurants that haven’t been discovered by every travel blog yet. The rooms themselves are exactly what you’d want from a solid 3-star place – nothing fancy, but everything works perfectly and it’s spotlessly clean. I mean, the beds are comfortable enough that I actually slept through my first alarm, which never happens when I’m traveling.

Parking can be a bit tricky in this neighborhood, but honestly, you don’t really need a car here anyway. The public transport connections are excellent – you can get to the city center or the main train station without any hassle. What struck me most was how quiet it gets at night, despite being in such a central location. You’re close enough to everything that matters, but far enough from the late-night party zones that you can actually get some rest. The whole experience felt authentic in a way that a lot of hotels just… don’t. It’s the kind of place where you end up having actual conversations with other guests at breakfast, and you leave feeling like you’ve discovered something that wasn’t specifically designed for tourists. For the price point and that solid 8 rating, it really delivers on being a genuine Stuttgart experience rather than just a place to crash.

Reviews

• Good – Christian from Germany – June 22, 2025 (7/10)

  It's very good value for the money.
  
  What could be improved: There's a loud church bell every day at 8:25. You will wake up 😄

• A good memory – Shariat from Switzerland – November 19, 2024 (8/10)

  The breakfast was great. The staff were friendly. There was a spacious kitchen with fridge and other stuff.

• Peaceful and well-kept accommodation. Easy to find a great location. Safe, economical and comfortable. – Stephen from Australia – May 24, 2024 (9/10)

  The property is part of a re-purposed elderly people’s residence. My room was for a single person, and it was very basic, but perfectly as described in the description. Therefore, it is an honest representation of what you actually get. This is not a hotel, it is a religious community. It is run by sisters from this community so do not expect hotel type accommodation. You will find this very comfortable. There is a communal kitchen near the rooms here. You can cook your food if you wish. The breakfast room is on the ground floor and is a simple breakfast but perfectly fresh and very good for the price range. If you just want a clean, safe and easy to manage stay at an economical price, this is a very good option. There is also tranquil park area in the building’s precinct. You can find a peaceful spot there and relax. Great access to transport. Take a 42 bus straight to the main train station. Really easy to get around and accommodation is in a very safe, tidy area.
  
  What could be improved: Because the accommodation is not a hotel, the hours of service are business hours. So if you lost a key or did something like that, it would be confusing to be able to get some service after hours, however, I had no issues, and if you are a quiet and well organised traveller, this would not be a problem for you. The rooms themselves do not have kettles, ironing facilities, etc. You need to use the communal shared area for these types of things. It would be nice to have a kettle and little fridge in the room to make yourself a tea privately, however, the shared kitchen is excellent, and very accessible with everything you possibly need. This is not a negative comment. This is just really a suggestion because the description of the room was accurate.

• Good – Fosam from Luxembourg – December 30, 2024 (8/10)

  The calmness of the facility
  
  What could be improved: The parking

• Good – Sergii from Ukraine – July 1, 2024 (7/10)

  – Location;
  – Big room;
  – Friendful staff (can't estimate their English, as we communicated in German, but the latter was a bit of a problem for me, as for B1 holder, who lives in Switzerland – I must admit, that Schwäbisch is not that comfortable for me)
  
  What could be improved: – A pretty unusual place, sort of a dorm for elderly people, with earliest check-out time I have ever met before (9:00 AM!)

• Exceptional – Plusbillion from Croatia – July 27, 2025 (10/10)

  Peace
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Exceptional – Sebastian from United States – April 25, 2024 (10/10)

  Value for money is unmatched. This place is pretty nice, super comfortable, close enough to the central train station, includes breakfast, etc.
  
  What could be improved: Check out is slightly earlier than normal, but no problem for me at least.

• Very Poor – Fuad from Israel – July 12, 2025 (2/10)

  What could be improved: Closed at 10 pm, hot room without conditions

• Pleasant – Evgeny from Israel – August 18, 2024 (6/10)

  What could be improved: There was no explanation of how to get the key, when i came nobody was expected me, to get the key is a complicated way for a tourist with luggage

• bon rapport qualité prix et très calme – Olivier from France – June 5, 2025 (8/10)

  What could be improved: Très important : si on arrive en dehors des heures d'ouverture, il faut aller chercher les clés à l'accueil de la clinique située à 100m : un panneau écrit en anglais et en allemand apposé sur la porte serait plus simple (celui qui est sur place est très mal expliqué et seulement en allemand).
