Hotel Ulmer Stuben Adolph Kolping Platz Ulm
Alright, folks, gather 'round. I've got a tale to spin about a hotel that's as German as a bratwurst on Oktoberfest. We're talking about the one and only Hotel Ulmer Stuben, nestled right in the heart of Ulm, on Adolph Kolping Platz. Now, buckle up, 'cause this isn't your average bedtime story.
Once Upon a Time in Ulm
Picture this: Ulm, a city that's as old as your grandma's jokes, but with a twist. It's got this medieval charm, but it's also got a secret - it's home to the tallest church tower in the world. Yes, you heard me right. The Ulm Minster is like the Eiffel Tower of Germany, but with more religious vibes.
Now, imagine you're strolling around, enjoying the view, when suddenly, you stumble upon this charming little hotel. It's like it's been there forever, watching the city grow and change. That, my friends, is Hotel Ulmer Stuben.
Meet the Hosts
This hotel isn't just a place to lay your head; it's a family affair. The Krauss family has been running the show since 1954. That's right, they've been at it for so long, they've probably seen more guests than a celebrity on a red carpet.
Now, I've stayed in my fair share of hotels, but I've never met a host quite like Herr Krauss. He's like the German version of your favorite uncle - always ready with a joke, a story, or a shot of schnapps. And his wife, Frau Krauss? She's the glue that holds it all together, making sure you're fed, watered, and ready to take on the world.
Breakfast Fit for a King
Speaking of food, let's talk about breakfast. Oh, the breakfast! It's not just a meal, it's an experience. Picture this: a spread that's bigger than your grandma's Sunday roast. We're talking cold cuts, cheeses, fresh bread, pastries, eggs, bacon, sausages, fruits, yogurts, cereals, and let's not forget the coffee. Oh, the coffee!
And the best part? It's all inclusive. That's right, folks. You don't have to choose between your eggs and your bacon. You can have it all, and then some. It's like they say in Germany, "Frühstück ist das wichtigste Essen des Tages" - breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And at Hotel Ulmer Stuben, they take that very seriously.
Rooms with a View
Now, let's talk about the rooms. They're not your average hotel rooms. They're more like cozy little nests, each one unique, with its own character. Some have views of the old town, others look out onto the bustling Platz. But my favorite? The one that looks right at the Ulm Minster. It's like waking up to a masterpiece every morning.

And the best part? The beds. Oh, the beds! They're so comfortable, you'll feel like you're sleeping on a cloud. A cloud with a view, mind you. But who's complaining?
Surprising Facts
Now, here's where things get interesting. You know how every hotel has its quirks? Well, Hotel Ulmer Stuben has a few doozies. Did you know, for instance, that the hotel is home to a secret door? It's true! It leads to a hidden room, filled with antiques and oddities. Herr Krauss swears it's haunted, but I think he's just trying to scare up some extra tips.
And get this - the hotel's walls are lined with autographs. Yes, you heard me right. Over the years, they've collected signatures from all sorts of celebrities - politicians, musicians, even a few royalty. It's like a who's who of the famous, all scribbled on the walls of this little hotel in Ulm.
In Conclusion
So, there you have it. The tale of Hotel Ulmer Stuben, a hotel that's as German as it is charming. It's not just a place to stay, it's an experience. It's like stepping into a piece of history, with a side of humor and a whole lot of heart.
