Holiday Inn Express Stuttgart - Waiblingen, an IHG Hotel

I can recommend this hotel in every respect., Very friendly staff at the reception, clean, nice rooms, good breakfast buffet with also very friendly staff. Location is less than 1.5 km from Waiblingen suburban train station. No problem at all to walk downhill from the train station to the hotel. I took a taxi in the reverse direction in the morning to avoid to have to push up my suitcase back to the train station. Taxi fee was 11 Euro. Train to Stuttgart Messe or air port takes about 45 minutes. But only costs less than 4 Euro. 😊

We were staying here as we were visiting my son who lives in Waiblingen. The hotel is smart, modern and extremely clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. The check in was seamless and there is a lift if you do not want to take the stairs. Our room was basic but it suited our needs very well and we were here for 6 nights! Breakfast was buffet style and very well organised with good coffee. We always enjoyed our first meal of the day and this was important as we walked a lot, 38 miles in 5 days! We were glad that we chose to stay here instead of the hotel by the train station. Waiblingen is vibrant and busy but there are peaceful areas to visit too. We were pleased with the comfortable bed and pillows on our return each evening after a night cap in the bar area. We wouldn’t hesitate to return to this hotel in the future.

This hotel is perfectly located in the centre of Waiblingen. Modern, clean and bright rooms (we had a corner room with a queen size bed and a pull-our sofa) hotel staff were all lovely and willing to help with any request we had. The night staff was even kind enough to pour us a drink from the bar at 1am when everything else in Waiblingen had already closed. The breakfast buffet is absolutely appropriate for a hotel in that price range. There is an underground car park in the adjacent building which is convenient as car park space is otherwise very limited nearby. Definitely one to come back to when we’re in Waiblingen next time.
