- Basic hotel. Clean and comfy. Nice on-site restaurant, though breakfast is on really modest side.
- Great hotel on the top of the hill. Rooms were comfortable, noise isolation was good and the staff was friendly.There is a direct bus to the Esslingen center and if you have the stamina, it takes 35 minutes to walk down and about 45 to walk up the stairs and slopes.
- The owner called me to arrange and facilitate late checkin. Very polite and considerate.
Cons -
- Limited strret parking. Poor sound proif between the rooms
- Breakfast too expensive.
- We had hoped to eat in the restaurant but it was closed so we walked to the town which was about 35 mins away.

Nice modern room, clean with a comfortable bed
We had hoped to eat in the restaurant but it was closed so we walked to the town which was about 35 mins away.
Interesting setting and had a fridge in the room. Also had a bath and was comfortable.
The restaurant was closed and had to drive into town.
Very friendly, family like atmosphere with staff ready to help by going the extra little mile for you. The walk to the vineyards infront of the property is particularly nice during sunsets.
Location is slightly out of the way if you have been drinking alcohol and want to move around. There is a bus stop just up the hill from the property however and taxi's are always available.
Breakfast is veryThe breakfast is excellent. The room is clean and the city center is beautiful. good
Quiet location, in a small town context outside Stuttgart. Ample parking, also covered. Nice room, with all services, quiet and without problems or noise. Very friendly staff, helpful, even to keep luggage and dog after the check-out time (much appreciated). EXCELLENT international breakfast, with great availability of the chef and staff.
Location not very close to Stuttgart, about 30 minutes by car with small roads. Room not huge but well renovated (bathroom a little small), restaurant inside the hotel, but no market/groceries nearby.
Bed is the best!
The room is a bit expensive and TV is small!
We liked a lot everything about the place. The village, beautiful surrounding landscape, the view from the room, the airy room itself, the restaurant in the evening, the breakfast, and amazing friendly people that run the place. We just stayed one night on the way home but I definitely would want to linger.
Everything was perfect.
really nice hotel, restaurant has an amazing view and it was great to sit there with sunset and very nice food. rooms were modern and clean, shower was perfect and breakfast could not be better.. great time!
Position is ok, nice view on Esslingen and Stuttgart, quiet position (restaurant worked but I didn't hear any noice / outdoor terrace was closed because it was still to cold outside), area around is nice for walking and riding a bike (I recommend e-bike because hotel is on top of hill ;) ), clean room, comfortable mattresses, enough free parking place of hotel or at street around hotel, free WiFi, enough hot water at any time of the day (or night), empty mini bar for food or drink.
It was not problem for me but some could have opinion it is important:a) I was situated in room no. 5 which, at the moment of my stay, hasn't got an air condition (I didn't need AC at the end of April);b) TV is too small for todays standard (I think it has only 22") and all programs were only on German language (I had a laptop so it was not important to me because WiFi internet worked fine).
I loved my stay at Kelter. The parking was easy. The check in was easy and friendly. The room was just perfect for me in size and temperature. The price was just great for me. I really loved the area around Esslingen. I was in town for the Christmas Market and the Chocolate Market in Tubingen which is 45 minutes away. What a perfect day I had. Esslingen Christmas Market is one of the best in Germany. The old town center is a perfect backdrop for the CM and there were so many food and eating options there. The theming and decorating of the CM were one of the best also. The restaurant is also very good at the Kelter. I had a nice relaxing drink after a perfect day at a Chocolate festival and CM. I will for sure stay here again in the future if I come back to this area in the summer or back for the CM season. I also really enjoy supporting small family-owned hotels and restaurants rather than the big chains.
There was nothing I didn't like about the Kelter. I was 100% satisfied with my stay and accommodation.
The view from our room was breathtaking ;) Love the local dishes served by friendly staffs. The hotel is one minute walking to the bus station. Once we walked back to the hotel from Marktplatz and skipped the gym next day;)
people working there were very friendly.
Distance from city center is large, it looks like it could use an upgrade.
Nice little hotel
Very bit far from the city (or anything)
VERY CLEAN AND WELCOMING...I love the House
Nothing at all...I loved it all

Great hotel. Good food. Very accommodating staff. Would definitely consider staying again.
Very good
