    There's no on-site restaurant which is no big problem, but might be good to know.

    Not very big, but cosy and comfortable room. Spotless clean. Very good breakfast.

    The person at the reception when we arrived was grumpy and didn’t explain anything, didn’t tell us the room number. Other people at reception were friendlier but only the person on the last day was service oriented and helpful

    Nice atmosphere, reasonably close to the city centre, good policy for example if you don’t need your room cleaned you get a free drink

    No equipment at all to make a coffee not even a kettle. And in the morning you have to buy even the coffee you could easily drink in ur room. Tiny room which fit the cot so hard.

    The room was tidy clean and in the ground floor which helped with our baby's stroller.

    Parking for 15,- €/night overcrowded. You pay a lot and in the morning you cannot leave the parking lot because the car is blocked from all sides. Breakfast - during the main breakfast time between 7:00 and 8:00 they don't have time to replenish the food - there are no scrambled eggs, no selected pastries and only bread remains, for example, a lot of untidy used dishes on the tables. Wi-Fi works, but quite slow and quite high response.

    Everything quite new, clean, personal helpful. Rooms quiet, warm water in the bathroom.

    Breakfast itself was very good but hopelessly overfilled. Not a pleasant experience. It was christamas market time so this might have been an exception. Industrial area. Can be noisy. No restaurants nearby

    Modern style.

    My only critique is that is was a bit far from the main part of town (we came for the Christmas markets) - It was about a 20 minute walk. Public transport is infrequent and at set times, so walking was the best way. If I ever come back to Esslingen, I would consider staying closer to the center!

    I enjoyed our stay at the niu Timber. It was comfortable and spacious.

    The hotel needs to be aware of its implicit bias. Look at HOW people of color are displayed ( especially in the visuals in the elevator); your clients will come from all corners of the world and you need to be sensitive to your messaging.

    The Niu Timber was a welcome surprise! Loved the attention to the environment a social justice. Loved the gentle encouragement for the adults and children to entertain themselves with old fashioned games. Breakfast was plentiful and yummy! Staff was friendly and helpful! It was nice having Lidl right next door and the walk into Esslingen was quite nice!

    Location is neither well-connected to the city, nor has anything much to offer in itself

    The stay reminded me of peeling an onion: the location was quiet but uninspiring, but then the young, friendly staff made it better, the beds ensured a great night's sleep..but above all the breakfast!! 5 stars! Superb variety and bio quality. It all just kept getting better.

    Our room was a superior room but there was no glass shower separating the shower from the rest of the bathroom! The whole bathroom got wet. We stayed for one night, but this is a downside for me. For the value I think the dress code should be a bit more on the smart casual side…

    Breakfast was superb! Better than the Hampton Hilton from Munich! Nice staff, the breakfast lady checking the guests was in the spectrum for sure (absolutely loved that they are inclusive) staff dress code is very casual.
