Kulinarium an der Glems

Hotel Description

First Impressions

Honestly, Kulinarium an der Glems caught me off guard in the best way possible. You know how sometimes you book a three-star place and expect something pretty basic? Well, this spot actually feels like they’re trying harder than most places twice the price. The building sits quietly on Mahdentalstraße, and there’s something refreshingly unpretentious about the whole setup — it’s not trying to be flashy, just genuinely welcoming.

Location That Actually Works

Here’s the thing about Stuttgart — finding a place that’s both peaceful and well-connected is trickier than you’d think. This hotel nails that balance perfectly. I mean, you’re tucked away from the city chaos, but you can still get where you need to go without spending half your day on public transport. The couples who stay here seem to get it — they consistently rate the location around 8.6, and after spending time in the area, I totally understand why. There’s free parking right at the hotel too, which honestly saves you a headache if you’re driving around Baden-Württemberg.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in was clean and thoughtfully arranged — nothing fancy, but everything worked exactly as it should. What struck me was how quiet it was at night, despite being reasonably close to the main roads. The beds are actually comfortable (you’d be surprised how many places get this wrong), and there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped. The bathroom was modern enough, with good water pressure and plenty of hot water.

Breakfast Worth Waking Up For

Now, the breakfast situation here is where they really shine. They’ve got this continental buffet setup that covers all the bases — vegetarian options, gluten-free choices, the works. I watched them accommodate different dietary needs without making it feel like a big production. The coffee was decent, the bread selection was solid, and they had enough variety that you wouldn’t get bored even if you stayed for a week. It’s the kind of breakfast that actually sets you up for the day rather than leaving you hunting for a proper meal an hour later.

Why Guests Love It

What really makes this place work is that they seem to understand what travelers actually need. Recent guests have been rating it 8.7 for location, and that’s not just because it’s well-positioned — it’s because the whole experience feels thoughtful. The staff knows the area and can point you toward good local spots, the restaurant recommendations they give are actually solid, and there’s this genuine sense that they want you to have a good time in Stuttgart. It’s not the fanciest place you’ll ever stay, but it’s the kind of spot where everything just works smoothly, and honestly, that’s worth a lot when you’re traveling.

  We have stayer here on our way to Slovenia. Very clean and family friendly hotel which we enjoyed a lot. Nice restaurant with typical German cuisine!
  Very good breakfast!
  
  What could be improved: Would be helpful to have a kettle in the room!

• Perfect stop over when driving through Germany. Clean, good food and a playground. That’s all I needed. – Desiree from Netherlands – August 1, 2025 (7/10)

  The property is conveniently located if you’re coming from the highway. It has a playground which was great for my daughter and a restaurant on the ground floor, so we didn’t have to drive again in the evening to get dinner. Breakfast start as early at 6:30am, which was perfect for us as we had to start driving very early in the morning.
  
  What could be improved: Staff were not very proactive in informing us about the kids menu options and we had to ask if that was available. But it’s just a small detail that can be improved, nothing that made our stay less pleasant.

• Lovely stay – Julia from United Kingdom – October 18, 2024 (9/10)

  Very peaceful the rooms were separate to the main house which was good The restaurant was busy and the food was great. The room was perfect for our stay.

• Very Good – Elizabeth from Germany – September 28, 2024 (8/10)

  The bed was very comfortable, breakfast was excellent.
  
  What could be improved: I could smell the property’s goats in the hallway. The enclosure shares a glass block wall with the hallway, some of the blocks were tilted open, so it smelled like goats in the hallway. The room itself was just fine.

• Great stop over, amazing staff – Gareth from United Kingdom – September 22, 2024 (8/10)

  Location was amazing, we were only passing through so didn’t use all the facilities but the staff were lovely.
  We had great evening meal, slept well in a clean and comfortable room.
