Hotel am Schillerpark

We stayed as a family for 2 nights. Walking distance (8 minutes) to the town square with the Christmas markets. You can walk to the train and bus station. We timed it without bags, and it was just over 1 kilometer and took 10 minutes walk. Would be slightly more with bags. Breakfast was good and the staff very friendly and helpful. Would go back.

We needed this to be ok… Clean room at first sight but upon using sanitising wipes as a Covid precaution the dirt that came off things was visible. Non smoking room smelt badly of smoke. Bed linens - under sheet was a rough jersey and pillows and duvet covers where very old and dark yellow and smelt of cigarettes and sweat which to a tired traveller was disgusting. The toilet was rectangular and the toilet seat round. We couldn’t wait to check out and find a decent hotel to recover and rest;

We spent five nights in Esslingen and had chosen am Schillerpark based on reviews and location. As most other reviewers have pointed out the staff is polite and the location is excellent. You are only about a 10 minute walk from the old center and the hotel is easily reached by car and they have a garage which was somewhat small for a large car but still manageable. The breakfast was good and even though the hotel was full during the weekend and the personnel seemed to be in a real hurry the service was polite and quick. As we will be visiting Esllingen on a regular basis as our daughter has moved to Esslingen - next time we won't have to wonder which hotel we'll choose - our choice is am Schillerpark ;)
