Holiday Inn - the niu, Timber Esslingen by IHG

Worst hotel I have ever stayed at using Hotel. com. Paid for a superior double room which was basic with a view and window over a garage. The room smelled of damp. The bathroom flooded when showering ( serious flooding). No drink making facilities- tea/coffee/ water. No tissues. No cups or glasses ( 2 small plastic tumblers). Shower head pole came off the wall. This is/was not a double bed room; two single beds pushed together but not joined so you wake up in the middle of the night as you slip down between the gap( I was told all the rooms are like this) At best a 2 star hotel in a not too nice location with very basic facilities but charging 4 star rates. Stay in the old part of Esslingen at a 3 star hotel for a lower price and a much better experience in a much nicer location and avoid the Niu Timber if you can and certainly don’t pay for a superior room.

Enjoyable and close to everything

Friendly

It was terrible experience for me.the guy on reception was rude and showing that he is doing favour for us. Room was very small. Room has terrible smell. Room didn't provide a single water bottel at this price. Parking we have to pay extra which is 15 euro per night. While breakfast staff asked me if we are Muslim. I don't know if I were Muslim I may get good breakfast and service. I will say please avoid this hotel at any cost.

Alt i alt bare en super fin oplevelse. Pris/ydelse for sublimt.

Very freindly staff. Nice rooms with what you Can expect

Room was very cold even with heating on (winter booking) and it seemed like the windows weren’t effectively glazed. Biggest issue by far was breakfast. Couldn’t find a seat anywhere and the staff were overrun with demand. Seemingly not enough capacity to cope with the number of guests. Gave up and had to get breakfast elsewhere which wasn’t easy given location.

New and comfortable hotel, it was great for a one night stay.

Nice & cool place. Everything was clean. I would book it again.

Stayed here on a recent trip, while the lobby area and general areas of the hotel look to be in good condition. One notices a lack of attention to the fine details in the rooms. Better attention could be taken by cleaning when vacuuming the rooms or by leaving an additional toilet paper roll when the one given is almost empty -- Other guests during checkout also complained about similar. Also the bathroom/shower design makes it next to impossible to take a shower without soaking the entire bathroom, toilet, etc. Though I will say the bed was comfortable to get a good nights sleep, and the location was actually quite quiet.

good checkin and bar island but staff overworked. Rooms ok but no desk table or place to work.

Difficult to find a Parking spot for your vehicle. I had to walk around 600m to be able to park in the street. Hotel Parking seems to be too small for the amount of guests and vehicles.

The room was clean and adequate. However, the room I was allocated was directly beside the elevators which were very loud. There was also no soundproofing, and so one can hear every conversation guests using the elevator are having, all night. The hotel had

Perfect

Perfect location for Neckarufer parkrun and easy to get into Esslingen on foot or public transport. There is a lidl round corner but not much else. We were a group and all had a good experience.

Where to start. The basis, The bedding: it is really comfortable with cushions, pillows, blankets, you have the impression of having slept in a cloud. The room is great. example: Sound isolation, USB wall outlets, Bluetooth audio system. The breakfast is excellent with a lot of choice and some originalities. The decor is great, from the bedroom to the reception. My children loved it because there are little games in the room and in the hall, good for families. Finally, as a point of improvement but I nitpick : there would be a lack of a terrace to take your coffee outside (for smokers and e-cigarettes for example) and the paid parking (10 €) could have been better indicated,
