URGENT! Hostel Alex 30 NOT REFUNDING after closure They cancelled my booking (3 nights) promising a refund but IGNORE all claims. Are you also affected?

The room is very nice, clean and comfortable. The location is also ideal as it's near the Hbf and the tram/bus station. From the hostel, it is very easy to get to the Mercedes-Benz museum. The stuffs are very nice and friendly. Highly recommended!

22.03.2025 Guest

Perfect room, very quiet and comfortable + helpful staff, a wonderful stay. Very easy to check-in, with a bathroom next door. Not crowded and very calm atmosphere. Also really clean in every room, I have never seen a hostel like this. It was a great stay, thank you very much!

I was there for second time. I love this hostel and want to return. But first of all the public toilets and bathrooms in my floor was dirty. I mentioned they dont clean everyday. Toilets were too dirty. In the bathroom blood. I used the public kitchen. People left food in plates without covering. I left food also and they have stolen. I was in third floor. I returned last day and the door was open. The door opens with card. I mentioned that u must close well the door. Otherwise it is open. They have stolen food and 100 € from my trousers pocket. I used the locker but i forgot the key in the locker so the assistant broke my locker. I havent took new one because i had one more day and the 2 guys in the room were too good persons.

Negatives: • Bathroom Issues: The fittings were faulty, and hot water was not available in the washbasins, which was quite inconvenient. • Bunk Beds: The beds were extremely noisy; even slight movements caused a lot of crackling sounds, making it difficult to sleep. • Amenities: There was no liquid soap in the bathing area, which is a basic necessity. • Accessibility: No escalators, which can be a hassle if you’re carrying heavy luggage. • Management: The hostel administration seemed indifferent to all these issues, as none of them were addressed despite being noticeable. Positives: • Bar Availability: The bar is open from 7:30 AM to 10 PM, which is a great plus for socializing. • Affordability: Prices are reasonable, making it a budget-friendly option. • Location: It’s conveniently close to the train station, making commuting easy. • Staff: The staff members were friendly and approachable. • Cleanliness: Both the rooms and washrooms were clean, which was a relief.

Weird guests, unclean rooms, bed bugs at least in room 203, something that is apparently known by the hostel, according to some reviews that mention the same room. At the beginning, I asked to move from my room that was originally assigned to me because it just stank (even with the window open) and was really dirty. I was moved to room 203 where I noticed too late that it was infested with bed bugs. I was completely bitten by them (see photos). I won't even go into detail to the sorts of people you can find at this hostel. Just spend the 20 extra euros and book yourself a hotel room.

People are very nice. The place is very clean. Beds are very comfortable. It is easy to go to the center city, with many public transportations available. I really liked sleeping here. Unfortunately, some other clients lack discretion (talking very loud on the phone, listening to music without earplugs...)

Bed bugs! Bites all over my body. No heating in the bathroom in -3o weather outside. I was told ‘don’t let people in who don’t have an entry card or who say they have forgotten their card’ hints at the area is not too safe? My taxi driver thought so… Loud even at night. In Stuttgart always pay for the best you can, the city is so overrun with business visitors that you won’t enjoy your trip if you choose the wrong place. On this trip I did twice the first place was £150 per night and was also not good.

We got a free upgrade from 4 people room to the double room, staff was super friendly the rooms and common areas were reasonably clean. You can borrow the towel for only 1 EUR. The parking area next to the hostel was also very convenient (i recommend to book it with the stuff in advance, the parking places are limited). Overall we had an amazing stay.

To me this hostel reflects the city of Stuttgart - i.e. it's a bit dull. The rooms were fine but not particularly comfortable and the lockers only took very small padlocks. There was very little atmosphere and the bar was very small. Also having to have the key on your phone is a real pain and doesn't always work. My advice is to just go to Munich and Strasbourg instead.

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!
