The Property — Hotel Krone
Stepping into the lobby of Hotel Krone feels like walking into a solid, old-school Swabian guesthouse—clean parquet floors, a wood-panelled reception desk, and the faint scent of coffee from the breakfast room. This is a no-nonsense 3-star with a courtyard beer garden, secure parking for a fee, and rooms that are functional rather than fashionable. It suits drivers who need a safe overnight stop near the city centre, or budget-conscious travellers who prioritise a solid mattress and a proper breakfast over design flourishes. The quiet location two tram stops from the Hauptbahnhof means you sleep well without the downtown noise.
Chronicles of Stuttgart
Stuttgart began as a 10th-century stud farm (Stutengarten means 'mare garden') and grew into the Württemberg royal seat, its Neues Schloss a monument to Baroque excess. The 19th-century industrial boom turned it into a car-manufacturing powerhouse, with Daimler, Benz and Porsche all born here. Post-war rebuilding stripped some historic fabric—the Königstraße became a long pedestrian shopping spine—but left a green-ringed city of vineyards and parks. Today it balances car manufacturing with a serious arts scene (Staatsgalerie, Stuttgart Ballet) and a distinct Swabian identity: industrious, direct, and fiercely proud of its wine cellars.
Best Time to Visit
Full Stuttgart guide →Best months
May and September offer warm days (18-23°C), low crowds before the summer spike, and outdoor wine festivals at nearby vineyards. Late June is also good for long evenings in beer gardens.
Peak / festival surge
June-July-August are peak with school holidays and the Stuttgart Summer Festival (end of August); hotel prices jump 30-50% and rooms fill by early booking. The Cannstatter Volksfest (autumn beer festival, late Sept) also spikes demand.
Budget shoulder season
Late April and October give cooler weather (10-16°C) but cheaper rooms, half the tourists, and the vineyards turning gold in October. November is the cheapest month but grey and wet.
Weather & packing
Stuttgart sits in a basin that traps humidity, making summer afternoons oppressively muggy and winters damp-chilly. Pack a light rain jacket even in June—thunderstorms can roll in fast—and comfortable walking shoes for the Königstraße and the park hills.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jun 2026Before you check in to Hotel Krone, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on an upper floor at the back of the hotel. These are usually quieter and often have better natural light.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms directly above or next to the bar or restaurant, especially on lower floors, as noise from guests and kitchen equipment can travel until late.
Best views
Upper-floor rooms at the front or side of the building often offer the best view of the city skyline or rooftops, but trade off against street noise.
Quietest floors
Top floors (generally above street level) and rooms away from the lift and stairwell are usually the quietest. Ask for rooms on the courtyard side if available.
🔊 Noise notes
Internal walls in older 3-star hotels can be thin. Request a room on a top floor away from the lift, and bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper.
Insider tips
Check if the hotel has a 'quiet floor' policy or designated rooms for light sleepers. Booking directly by phone sometimes gets you a better room assignment than booking online.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top Attractions in Stuttgart
💡 The free collection is in the basement; go straight down the stairs, avoid the paid upper floors. The glass roof gives good city views from inside.
💡 Check out the weekly farmers' market on Saturdays for local produce and a lively atmosphere. Grab a beer at a nearby brewery pub afterwards.
💡 The free section includes works by Beckmann and Schlemmer. Visit on a Wednesday when the entire museum is free after 5pm.
💡 Take the lift to the top for panoramic views over the city. The rooftop terrace closes at dusk, so go late afternoon. It's also a quiet place to sit and read for free.
💡 Head to the top-floor café for a cheap coffee and a view over the rooftops. Free entry on first Sundays of the month for the building itself.
💡 Go on a Wednesday for free general entry, but the special exhibitions still cost extra. The building itself (by James Stirling) is worth a look.
💡 Go on a Wednesday afternoon (closes at 8pm) to avoid queues. The modern wing has an impressive view of the city from its roof terrace.
💡 Stop at the kiosk near the station end for cheap pretzels; it's a local lunch spot for office workers.
