Ecoinn in Esslingen

🌍
Esslingen am Neckar, Kanalstraße 14-16
● Center: 430 m

Guests frequently mention the friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast is praised for its quality, variety of organic and fairtrade options, and includes items like fresh fruit salad and boiled eggs. Rooms are generally clean and well-maintained, with good soundproofing noted by several visitors. The hotel’s eco-friendly concept and in-house power production receive positive comments. Location close to the city center and historical sights is appreciated. Some guests report rooms being too small and basic, with worn mattresses and a lack of periodic maintenance (e.g., dirty walls). Heating can be excessively warm and not adjustable in some rooms, causing discomfort. WiFi performance is inconsistent, with at least one guest noting it as below average. Parking can be challenging due to limited free street spaces and no dedicated hotel lot. Breakfast variety is sometimes described as repetitive after a couple of days.

Description

Ecoinn is a three-star hotel built in 2009, located in Esslingen am Neckar, Germany. The hotel emphasizes eco-friendly initiatives, including producing its own electricity, which guests can learn about through features like the lobby’s glass floor showcasing the water underneath. It offers a wide variety of room types, from Standard Single rooms to Suites, accommodating solo travelers, families, and groups. The hotel provides free bike rentals, free parking nearby, and facilities for disabled guests. Rooms are generally clean and functional, with many guests praising the friendly and helpful staff and the quality of the breakfast, which includes organic and fairtrade products. Some rooms offer views, and many feature heating and WiFi. The atmosphere is more practical than luxurious, making it a reasonable option for business trips or short stays rather than long vacations.

Ecoinn is situated on Kanalstraße 14-16, in a quiet side street about 10 kilometers from Stuttgart Echterdingen Airport (STR). The hotel is just a short walk from Esslingen’s historic old town, where you’ll find many cultural sites.

While the hotel itself does not have dedicated parking, free parking is sometimes available on the street outside, and several underground parking garages are close by for convenience.

The facility is central and you get good value for your money. Plus the green initiative seems rather nice

However, I wish my bed was more to the edge of the room. For the room I had, I felt I was floating in space. No bed rest at all. Also you get the same variety of breakfast options every day. After 2 days, I was already bored of options.

We loved the service, clean rooms, location to the town center and breakfast.
02.05.2024 Guest
Located in a quiet side street, but nevertheless not far from the center of the town, it can only be recommended. The reception was friendly and the rooms clean and functional.

Since it was the cheapest option in the area, I certainly wasn't expecting a grand hotel. However, it did not meet the already low expectations. The room was quite basic, extremely small and looked dated. Nothing to complain about the daily cleaning, but there seemed to be a lack of periodic maintenance (for example, the dirty wall against which the bed was placed did not make a good impression). Near the bed there was only one socket, and the table lamp was connected to it, so I had to choose whether to have light or charge my phone. Breakfast is good quality but poor variety. Overall atmosphere is hostel-like. On the positive side: very friendly staff, good soundproofing of the rooms, very good location. There is a convenient parking lot nearby, but with a bit of luck you may get one of the few spots free of charge on the street right outside the hotel.

My partner loved this hotel because you can see through the floor in the lobby to the water and can learn about how the hotel is powered. He also said it was the best hotel breakfast he's ever had. The room felt very much like a dorm, which was fine. The only issue I had was that it was so hot. We visited in December and slept with the window open. Other than that, it was very good!

I stayed there during a business trip and it was like searingly hot. I liked the rooms, the place one gets served the breakfast was nice, the small terrace was neat. I liked the quite but on point service from all the staff. The breakfast had it all! From cereals to boiled eggs and you foremost everything in fairtrade quality. Go team EcoInn!

Unfortunately the room I stayed in became really hot, despite the curtains or open windows in the night. And the overall atmosphere of the Hotel was a bit practical. Ideal for my business trip but maybe not for a holiday.

Beautiful hotel just next to the city centre.
It is easily reachable by car but the hotel does not provide an exclusive parking lot, so you may have to plan your parking before reaching the location. There are some slots on the road in front of the building, but those are public and some of them are not for free.

I got accommodated by a receptionist that speaks my language, I was surprised about that.

The room was clean and simple, and the breakfast was very good with a lot of food. Both salad and sweet breakfast.

The price does not justify, in the meantime, far beyond the original claim of a youth guest house, the Service and the quality for the price. Communicative, this Hotel is a disaster. Any criticism is offended, or threatening, answered.
27.12.2021 Simon
We stayed here as a family and while not the cheapest place we could stay at it was clean and nice and suited our purposes.

Can be a little hard to find at first and hard to park nearby but if you use one of the underground car parks nearby it makes it much easier.

The rooms are clean and more budget style and if the streets are noisy you will hear it.

Well suited to get around town easily, the staff are very friendly and breakfast is included in the price and is a nice selection as well.

Excellent accomodation. Fantastic concept with all the eco initiatives. Staff very friendly and extremely helpful. Location great with all historical sights within walking distance.
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
Think about what you would like to know if you were looking for a review about a place to relax. Please describe in detail what you liked and what you didn't. What would you advise to other guests and to the hotel owner. The more fully you tell about the hotel, the easier it will be for other people to make a choice and they will be very grateful to you!
