Nice Hotel, right in the center. Stylish and modern vibe. Clean, friendly, just perfect
Alles top! Lage, Personal, Bar, ….
Front desk staff helpful and pleasant. Breakfast over overpriced - not worth it hotel clean As an international guest, I did not feel safe with no phone in the room for contact for emergency contact to front desk staff
A modern hotel in a great location. We had an accessible room which was spacious and well suited for me as a wheelchair user. Rating it an overall for that there is no possibility to park near the hotel to check in / unload luggage (not the hotel’s fault but still a problem) and for the fact that several items on the menu of the bar were not available/sold out on Sunday evening
- smelly room 307 - aircon did not sufficiently work - breakfast chaos
Alles top
Great service, beautiful room & breakfast !
Alles Super!
My stay was adequate, my room although small was comfortable & clean. What I would like to point out was how awful I was left feeling after being refused entry at the front door due to a bar being set up to facilitate the sale of alcohol during a festival. I was told to use the back entrance although it would have been easy to simply move a table to the side. I was forced to walk a route that I was not familiar with & got lost. I came back & asked someone to show me. I said this is disgraceful behaviour & the man moved the table to allow me access . I feel that the profit & gain of the hotel was put before the needs & comfort of hotel guests ! I am back again on the 8th of August at Ulm to attend a wedding & hope that the hotel can do much better. Kind regards Alexandrea Steinemann
From check in til checkout we had a very good experience The shower glass doesn't keep water from affecting the other parts of the bathroom. I had to be very careful
Great location. Customer service excellent. Very accommodating for us travelling with bicycles.
Perfect location, modern hotel with a beautiful rooftop bar. Beds were comfortable, rooms quiet and breakfast offered many choices. Can't fault the hotel, although the rooms were a bit small if you come with a couple of big suitcases. Would certainly use Motel One again.
Alles prima :-)
Alles super :-)
the rooms are default motel one, which is a good thing. they are big enough and offer everything needed for short stays (for me anyway). there's a nice small bar under the roof with a small terrace.
Cooles Hotel Etwas warm 😉
Mega Lage - super Roof Top Bar
Top Lage, super Location
The location was good 👍
Missed eggs or sausage for breakfast. And draft beer.
Everything was fine, apart from a strange noise in the bathroom (water running or the bathroom ventilation fan). We still do not understand why lots of hotels do not provide bidet attachments. We did not have breakfast in the hotel so we are not in a position to evaluate it.
A nice experience overall.
Excellent location and so comfortable beds!! Simply great when you arrive very tired..thank you!!
a very competent and friendly Reception Desk Team, supporting advice for parking and perfect location: it was an unforgettable stay for us.
There should be more tables with chairs in the breakfast area instead of sofas
Neat and tidy rooms. Friendly welcome in perfect English :-)
Very nice stay in a central location.
Perfect stay in friendly and well positioned hotel in Ulm.
I still don´t understand why left behind things (coffee cup last time) can be stolen by room personnel, obviously the payment is too bad? The breakfast booking was very complicated and did not reach the bookings list.
I like staying in the Motel One hotels. I know what to expect or not to expect. All I need is available. Staff always very friendly and helpful.
lack of parking space is very inconvinient
Overall, it was a good stay. The only thing I wish Motel One did was put tea and coffee facilities in the room. After a long, cold journey, you get to the hotel room… and there’s nothing to make a tea or coffee with! I really think you’re missing a trick by not having a small kettle in the room. I liked the fireplace setting on the tv though and the fact that I could actually change the thermostat to a warmer setting. You get a good amount of pillows which is good for me because I need multiple. The view from my room of the cathedral was nice. The bathroom did what it said on the tin, nothing special. The one issue I had with it was the extraction fan turned on intermittently and it wad annoyingly loud. I tried the breakfast buffet once. It was decent except there were a lot more low tables than regular ones. Eating breakfast on a coffee table is a bit awkward (the bigger coffee bar table was full so we had to sit at the low tables). The staff were always super friendly which was good and housekeeping did a nice job tidying my room and placing my hot water bottle in pride of place. Overall it wad pleasant for a hotel my company booked, but the sheer fact there is no kettle in the room would stop me booking for myself.
The noise of the fan or air extractor in the bathrooms continues to be an issue, but otherwise the hotel is wonderful.
Nice hotel with very good position and price.
Alles prima
Everything was excellent except for the bar. Bar was understaffed and chaotic. The ones making cocktails were also walking around taking orders causing long waiting times (up to 20 mins for a drink after order placed) and orders being completely forgotten.
Overall a very pleasant experience. Set up for breakfast was very uncomfortable.
Great location and friendly staff. Bar was also excellent. Breakfast was good although the seating wasn’t ideal for eating. Would definitely stay again.
A great location with clean and basic rooms.
Rundum gute Performance
Our stay was mostly up to the usual standards I expect when I visit Motel One. However, there were a few points I found disappointing with Ulm: - No designated own parking places in the immediate vicinity to the hotel. Rathaus Parking was also very expensive. - The window in our room no. 2.22 was very dirty - The bar was not open until 17:00. No possibility to have your toasts or a drink during the day. Otherwise, apart from a slightly strangely layout Bar on the 5th floor, the evening and breakfast bar staff were extraordinarily friendly and efficient.
frustratingly no USB points in the room
Booking of family room should be possible onilne, currently only by phone call.
Alles super
Our group of 12 first timers in Ulm, Motel OneMünstetplatz, best place to stay for sightseeing Ulm Münster, Fischerviertel, Danube, Farmers Market, guided tour at beer brewery GoldOchsen, all in walking distance. Great rooftop bar, space for many, comfortable seats, fantastic ambiance, fast dedicated service. Excellent experience.
alles war gut
more proper tables and chairs are required on the 5th floor for eating as well as meetings.
Excellent Location! The room was small but very well decorated and clean. Cool bar and lounge on the 5th floor. I had to leave early for a family emergency and the staff worked with me on a refund. I would definetly stay here again.
This hotel was great! Conveniently located right in front of the Munster and within walking distance to the shops and restaurants of Ulm. The room was clean, quite large, and had windows that fully open to allow fresh air in. The rooftop bar and lounge were my favorite part about this hotel. Plenty of plush seating and great views of the Munster, and the bar service was phenomenal. The servers were attentive, friendly, and professional. Finding parking close to the hotel was a bit of an issue, so if you plan on driving to Ulm, do your parking garage research in advance. We parked in a public lot closer to the train station only to find out there was a parking lot a couple hundred meters closer to the hotel. Be prepared to walk your bags from the parking lot to the hotel though, as there is no way of pulling up directly to the hotel.
overall, a great place. misses the mark regarding international guests. would have liked the option of English TV, mostly for ambiance. interesting that there was no phone or clock. AC/fan never really worked, needed to open windows for air recirculation. seriously, I would definitely come back regardless. all staff was great.

Location and surroundings
Design Story
In our Motel One Ulm, it's not just the view that's brilliant. But also the design inspiration.
Hotel Ulm
In the footsteps of Albert Einstein in your affordable hotel in Ulm
If Albert Einstein were still around, he would surely feel right at home in our Motel One Ulm. Comfy velvet armchairs in iconic Motel One turquoise would invite him to sit by the fire and ponder, brainstorm and speculate to his heart’s content. He could philosophise passionately about the laws of nature in the spacious One lobby or in the conference room. And over a freshly mixed drink at the panorama bar with a view of Ulm Minster, the genius could even reread his own notes – the walls are covered in his scribbles. So what was that again about the equivalence of mass and energy? Oh, right, E = mc2.
Time for a little break? In the spacious rooms of the design hotel or on the stylish roof terrace with Ulm Minster in the background, Ulm’s most famous resident could give his little grey cells a well-deserved rest. And when that scientific curiosity struck again, he could simply connect to our free WiFi and read up on the latest research on the theory of relativity. After all, a genius never stops learning.
Even our hearty breakfast is all about the laws of nature. Take a look at the colourfully decorated walls and ceiling and lose yourself in the dance of molecules.
Do you want to experience the hometown of Albert Einstein up close and personal? Then Motel One Ulm is the place to be. The design hotel is conveniently located in the city centre, so you can comfortably explore the most famous sights on foot or by bicycle, just as Albert Einstein himself did 100 years ago.
Meanwhile, Ulm Minster lies right outside your front door. This beautiful giant is topped with the highest church tower in the world – 162 metres. It dwarfs the characteristic 17th-century ‘Grabenhäusle’ houses, some of which are so low that they’re almost at eye level as you walk by.
And then you meet Albert Einstein himself! In the middle of the historic arsenal grounds, the lively physicist sticks his tongue out at you unabashedly – from an atomic missile, of course. After all, what would the Einstein Fountain be without a touch of physics?
Stomach rumbling? Why not try Einstein’s favourite food? The father of E = mc2 couldn’t get enough of ‘Schupfnudeln’, or finger-shaped potato dumplings. It's a good thing this Swabian classic is also available very close to your hotel in Ulm – served traditionally with sauerkraut, of course. Einstein wishes you ‘En Guada!’ (bon appetit) in polished Swabian.
