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.
Nice rooms, great location. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Good location, nice staff and good breakfast
Super Betten.Tolle Möbel.
Love the design of the hotel. Rooms a little too basic although I understand that is your approach. Adding a kettle to make a drink would be a really nice addition.
Very clean, beautiful rooftop and great breakfast. Efficient check-in. Only downside is noise of the fan in the bathroom. Also I did not find a "do not disturb" sign to hang on the door.
Well located in the centre, with just a short stroll to the historic old town. Very friendly and welcoming staff throughout. More expensive than I usually like to pay, but for a city centre hotel it is reasonable value for money.
Very friendly staff, room was great, but I could do without floor carpets and a coffee maker would be appreciated.
Location is perfect. Right on the Muenster Platz, with a great view of the Muenster. Also a good view of the market that set up on our last day. The hotel is an easy 10 minute walk from the station, it is opposite the tourist office and at the start of the 2 historical walks around the old city. The rooftop bar is great in the evening, although the service is a little quirky. Only complaint is that the air conditioning is totally inadequate. temperature outside was over 30C, and about the same in the room even with the air con running full time.
Pretty much faultless. Perfect location, very clean, well appointed room. Air con very welcome . I found the duvet a bit lumpy and heavy. I would have liked tea and coffee facility in the room. Very friendly staff, convenient check in/out times. Good bar and reception facilities. Reasonable price.
Fantastic location right in the City centre. Rooms are spacious, and the roof terrace bar is amazing.
We had a nice 4-day stay at Motel One in Ulm. Location can’t be beat, and the cafe/lounge up on the roof was fantastic. Staff was great too. The room was quite small but functional. Bed and bathroom were decent too. The only issue we had was with the AC in the room, which was not very effective in the heat. But we managed ok and still enjoyed our stay very much. There is no parking, but the Stadthaus parking garage is just a few minutes walk. The price was very reasonable as well. We would definitely stay there again but try to get a larger room.
Mega Rooftop bar, alles bestens
I like cleanliness, quietness, comfortable bed/sleep in the night. Suggestion: Please provide (similar to your competitors) coffee machine and few coffee pods and also provide a water bottle (1L) in room instead of handing over water bottle to guest at the time of checkin in reception. If the room is booked for multiple days provide water bottle 1L/day.
Alles prima
Great hotel. Lovely room. Shower really good but very small bathroom. Bed and bedlinen excellent. Arrived after long journey and no one on reception desk but busy in private area. Welcome ok after that. Superb bar, staff and drinks menu choice. Absolutely excellent. Would highly recommend.
I love it 👍
The bar should have a faster service. A lot of times, nobody was there to get something
Central Location, beautiful view from rooftop seating area.
Excellent
ALLES SUPER!
everything was good to great with 1 exception: the fan / ventilation in the bathroom was quite loud - I even couldn't fall asleep again in the morning due this.
Super!
As every Motel One so far it was really a good feeling, beautiful styling and everything you need. Staff was friendly and breakfast good :)
Alles super!
You always have something to be better
The hotel staff is good however not many speak English and we were battling with communication a few times.
Nice hotel in great location, just good to know that access by car (to drop off luggage at the hotel) is not entirely possible, some meters need to be walked.
Price /room cost / Booking by phone!
My room was 228. it was very cold when I get in my room 11:00 pm. I waited 2 ours for heating the room.
This was the 57th Motel One I have stayed in, so you must be doing something right! My room overlooking the courtyard was quiet (more or less out of earshot of the minster bells) and the 5th floor bar was a nice place to relax with a drink in the evening. Just the wi-fi seems to be problematic in all Motel Ones this year.
Perfect for a business travel. Nice location in the centre of Ulm. Suggestion: add a free drink/bottle of water available in the room at guest arrival. I know bar/lounge is available at last floor, but a guest could appreciate having a welcome drink available in the room at arrival.
Top !
It’s war alles bestens
Super Service.
We have been longing for a visit to Motel One at Ulm for so long and all expectations were met or even exceeded. Great receipt, friendly staff even offering a room with a view to the nice Christmas market, perfect service!! We always like the equipment and furniture at Motel One, always something to discover and to "sit on" :-). - Your bar-keeper has also been so nice to find a little place with a view to the market at night, many thanks for all his care and sympathy. - Overall yet another great experience at Motel One!!
I have stayed at many Motel One's, this one is particularly well-run, modern, clean and with great Wi-Fi. Highly recommended. And if you call, the phone gets answered! One of the many frustrations with other Motel ones.
In general, hotel is nice, maybe the rooms are a bit small, a bit... less than expected. 5th floor bar and the bartenders are great. Denis gave us a very nice and warm service.
Excellent location. Friendly staff. First night was a bit hard to fall a sleep, due to white noise or ventilation in bathroom, but later got used to it. Bathroom and room could have more space, if you would be bigger it would be harder to move and not to bump into objects. Overall loved the accommodation and nice décor.
Very clean, very comfortable location. Breakfast could be revised, lack of warm food.

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.
