Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Ross Messe Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (4th or 5th) for a quieter stay. As the hotel is located on Dreifelderstraße, a main road in Stuttgart, rooms on lower floors may be more prone to traffic noise. Additionally, the hotel has a lift, and rooms on the higher floors are likely to be farther away from the lift and service entrance, which can be a source of noise.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms near the lift, especially on lower floors (1st-3rd), may experience more noise from guests and staff moving up and down the lift. Rooms near the service entrance on the ground floor are also likely to be noisier due to the constant flow of staff and deliveries.
Best views
As the hotel is located on Dreifelderstraße, rooms on the higher floors (4th or 5th) may offer views of the surrounding cityscape, although the view is likely to be of the rooftops and buildings rather than a scenic vista.
