The Property — Luna Inn
The Luna Inn is a functional, no-frills three-star hotel a short walk from Stuttgart’s main train station. The lobby is clean but compact, with a vending machine and a small seating area, so don’t expect character or lounging space. It suits budget-conscious solo travellers or couples who plan to be out all day and just need a decent bed and a shower. The USP is its location: you can practically fall out of the front door and onto the U-Bahn or into the city centre.
Chronicles of Stuttgart
Stuttgart began as a 10th-century stud farm (Stutengarten means ‘mare garden’) for the Dukes of Württemberg. It evolved into an industrial powerhouse in the 19th and 20th centuries, thanks to figures like Gottlieb Daimler and Robert Bosch. Much of the old city centre was levelled by Allied bombing in 1944 and rebuilt in a functional post-war style, giving it a modern, grid-like layout. Today it’s a wealthy, car-focused city — home to Mercedes-Benz and Porsche — with a strong cultural scene of opera, ballet and contemporary art.
Best Time to Visit
Full Stuttgart guide →Best months
May-September: long daylight, outdoor festivals and reliable warmth, but July and August draw the most tourists.
Peak / festival surge
July-August is peak summer, busy with city-breakers and the Stuttgart Summer Festival (late July). Hotel prices bump 30-50% above shoulder-season rates.
Budget shoulder season
May and late September offer milder weather, thinner crowds and 15-25% lower room rates at the Luna Inn.
Weather & packing
Stuttgart sits in a basin so can trap heat and humidity in summer, with occasional thundery downpours. Pack a light rain jacket and a pair of comfortable walking shoes — the city’s hills and cobbles mean you’ll clock miles.
Live City Briefing — Stuttgart
- The Stuttgart 21 rail project continues to disrupt main-line services around the Hauptbahnhof; check for replacement buses if you’re arriving by train from Frankfurt or Munich.
- The Mercedes-Benz Museum has extended its summer opening hours to 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays through August.
- Several city-centre pedestrian zones (Königstrasse, Calwerstrasse) have new late-night licensing for street-food stalls, so expect more al fresco dining in July.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Luna Inn, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the inner courtyard (away from Friedhofstraße). These upper floors reduce street noise and offer a quieter stay.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on the ground floor or first floor facing Friedhofstraße are closest to traffic and likely hear road noise. Also avoid rooms near the lift shaft on any floor.
Best views
Friedhofstraße is a residential street with mixed buildings – not scenic. Inner courtyard rooms offer a calmer outlook onto gardens or back walls. No notable landmark views from here.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest, set above street-level bustle and away from lift activity.
🔊 Noise notes
Friedhofstraße is a side street off major routes, so traffic is moderate during weekdays. Occasional construction nearby is possible. The 3-star level means thin windows – ask for a courtyard side.
Insider tips
1. Ask for top-floor courtyard room during booking – quieter and less affected by street noise. 2. Check if the hotel has parking available on site (many 3-star city hotels don't); if not, use nearby public garages like Parkhaus Mitte, a 10-minute walk.
- 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

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR

Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in supermarkets and chain restaurants; contactless and mobile pay are standard. Smaller bakeries and some market stalls may prefer cash.
Round up the bill in restaurants (5-10% is generous but optional), leave small change for taxis, and tip hotel staff €1-2 per bag or per night of service.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →Filter coffee from a bakery or takeaway kiosk costs around €2–2.50.

A main course at a modest Italian or Greek restaurant is around €10–14; pizza or pasta at a casual place costs €8–12.
Headed to the Königstraße or Marktplatz area; the daily market by the Rathaus has stalls with sausages, Flammkuchen, and Turkish specialities.
Aldi, Lidl, and Netto are the main budget supermarkets in 70191; Rewe and Edeka are slightly pricier but still reasonable.
High-street chains like H&M, Zara, and C&A are on Königstraße; for second-hand and bargains, try flea markets on weekends at the Karlshöhe area.
