A good location in the central part of Ulm with good access to the train station and walkable to the center of the city. Construction near the entrance made finding the hotel a bit difficult at first. The staff was helpful and experience was good.

Staff was very helpful and kind, common spaces are very nice, but the room was extremely old. I've stayed in other rooms at this hotel, and this section (249 area) is in desperate need of a renovation and update to match the rest of the hotel.

The room's carpet had disgusting stains, our room was not cleaned for one night of our stay after we had put up the request clean sign, the shower curtain was short and did not keep the water in the shower, and the TV was positioned so as to be almost impossible to view from the bed.

GREAT HOTEL

The hotel is a 10 minutes walk from the railway station. It's a modern building situated in a quiet area. We stayed on 2 occasions in the hotel and both rooms we had were spacious, clean and comfortable. It is very easy to walk to the centre of Ulm. There are plenty of restaurants. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Lovely hotel, with spacious and very comfortable rooms, only a bit small bathrooms and carpet to be removed( but I have noticed in other rooms carpet may not occur). Very good quality of beds.Gorgeous breakfast room, staff very kind and helpful. Centre town within 3 minutes walk, elegant restaurants and boutique nearby. Garage available. It has been a very pleasent stay.

The hotel was very convenient for trams to Ulm University and to the Airport. The room suited my needs very well. The breakfast was good. It might have been nice if the bar were open at all. But all in all a very nice hotel

Great location. Bad timing stay. Overall recommen.

Nice stay. We picked again because of the parking. We arrived to find that it was undergoing repairs and not available to us. Inconvenient and also more expensive to park at the public space. The bed was not so comfortable this stay… Also a workman with very strong body odor used the elevator- it was so strong that we exited immediately and only used elevator when checking out to get our luggage down. The people were friendly and the breakfast was lovely. We will stay again.

Great value and location

The Centro Hotel Stern is a great value in a great location, not far from the Ulm Munster Church and plaza. Many restaurants nearby. My room showed wear, but was clean and had everything I needed, thus it was a great value. The breakfast was exceptional, well worth the extra fee. I was also able to park my car underground for an extra fee. Staff was helpful. Very happy with my stay.

Nice location, terrible conditions

There are 2 buildings in this "hotel": one very old with a terrible smell on the hallways and in the room, with old furniture, but with clean bedsheets and bathroom (also ancient condition). They should properly explain on the reservation site the status.

Not like the picture

The hotel is ideally situated right in the centre of town. The hotel lobby is quite stylish however the room we were given was nothing like the one in the picture. It was a corner room with very basic fittings, an old fashioned corner bath, the shower was a hand held shower head in the bath and the bath fittings were rusty. That’s said it was a powerful shower!
