Gruppen-Bungalow Stuttgart

Hotel Description

You know what, when I first pulled up to Gruppen-Bungalow Stuttgart on Emerholzweg, I’ll be honest – I wasn’t expecting much from the name alone. But this place actually surprised me in the best way possible. It’s tucked away in Stammheim, which most tourists completely overlook, but that’s exactly what makes it work. The whole setup feels more like staying at a friend’s well-appointed cabin than some sterile hotel room downtown.

The bungalow style is genuine, not some theme park version of rustic living. I mean, you’ve got your own little space with actual character – wooden beams that creak just enough to remind you where you are, but not so much that you’re lying awake all night. The location in Stammheim is honestly perfect if you want to experience Stuttgart like someone who actually lives here instead of just hitting the tourist spots. There’s this great bakery about a five-minute walk down the street (you’ll smell it before you see it), and parking is never the nightmare it becomes closer to the city center. The S-Bahn connection is solid too – you can be in Stuttgart’s main areas in maybe twenty minutes, but when you come back at night, you’re in this quiet residential pocket where the biggest sound is probably someone’s dog barking in the distance.

What I really appreciated was how the staff seemed to get that most people staying here are either visiting family in the area or want something more authentic than the cookie-cutter business hotels. They’re not hovering over you with fake smiles, but when you need something – directions to a specific street, recommendations for dinner that aren’t just the obvious tourist traps – they actually know what they’re talking about. The rooms themselves are clean and comfortable (honestly, better maintained than some 4-star places I’ve stayed), and there’s this lived-in quality that makes you want to actually relax instead of just crash for the night. Sure, it’s not going to blow your mind with luxury amenities, but sometimes you just want a place that feels real. The 7.6 rating makes sense – it’s exactly what it promises to be, no more, no less, and in a city where everything seems designed to separate you from your money as quickly as possible, that’s actually pretty refreshing.

Reviews

• Very Good – Anna from Poland – April 25, 2025 (8/10)

  What could be improved: It's not a standard to ask for cleaning house. I pay for cleaning when I pay for a place. It's not airBnB.

• Wonderful – Daniele from Italy – May 23, 2025 (9/10)

  Clean, big spaces, facilities, perfect for a group

• Bel appartement pratique mais isolé et pas de commerces autour – Shamila from France – June 9, 2025 (8/10)

  L’appartement est spacieux avec des étagères et rangements dans toutes les pièces. Le verrouillage avec code est vraiment pratique.
  
  What could be improved: Nous avons trouvé un peu de poussière et des insectes morts lors de notre arrivée… pas de serviettes de bain à disposition ni de tapis de douche. Le sol de la salle de bain était vite mouillé et glissant!
  Il n’y a pas d’autre habitation autour, c’est très isolé. L’emplacement parking n’était pas clairement indiqué.

• Good – Erpel from Germany – April 7, 2025 (7/10)

  Viel Platz. Alles prima

• Wir fühlten uns sehr unwohl insgesamt und werden keinesfalls nochmal buchen. – Böttcher from Germany – February 23, 2025 (3/10)

  Der Beamer.
  
  What could be improved: Sehr veraltetes Badezimmer, extrem verkalkter Wasserkocher (musste von uns gereinigt werden), verdreckte Kaffeemaschine, spartanische Einrichtung und das für über 100€ pro Nacht. Der Bungalow liegt in einem Viertel nahe des Gefängnisses, was wir vorher leider nicht wussten. Man fühlt sich etwas fehl am Platz, untergebracht zwischen Sportvereinen und verlassener Gaststätte. Außerdem gab es keine funktionierende Außenbeleuchtung mehr ab fortgeschrittener Abendstunde.
