Everything about this simple, family-run hotel pleased me. Not just the well-stocked breakfast and the fast internet, but the simple things that often go unnoticed: the instant hot water, the fully functional shower head (the handheld ones often have broken wall mounts, but not this one), hooks on the walls (why is this so rare in hotels these days?), and real hangers (not the kind where they can only be used in the closet) so I could do a little sink-laundry and hang my t-shirts and socks to dry near the window. The location was also a real plus: a few hundred meters straight up the street from the train station and right on the edge of the Altstadt. And what an Altstadt Eßlingen has to offer! It was my first visit to this lovely little city, but I will return, and when I do it will be to the Hotel am Schelztor. Oh, and did I mention little Max, the friendly little pup who "guards" the reception area in the morning?

The front office staff and the cleaning crew were so nice! They helped me out after I lost my key (which I accidentally left behind at a family member's house) and couldn't get into the hotel late at night. The room was always spotless after a cleaning. The location is ideal if you want to be near the train station (5 min walk) or close to all the shops/cafes/restaurants.
The decor is a bit outdated. And the walls/wallpaper in my room could use some TLC.

Excellent breakfast for a hotel this size, really good location, easy to reach with car and next to old town centre.
Parking lot behind the hotel tiny and unorganized. Elevator only for one person, which actually wasn't problem for us, since travelling light with small bags, just fyi.

We enjoyed our stay and would recommend the hotel to friends and family. The town of Esslingen is a lovely place to visit, and the hotel is very well situated to both the old town and the railway station.

The location of the am Scheltzor Hotel was within walking distance of the city center, restaurants and shopping. The included breakfast was very good. Parking is available behind the hotel.
Finding the hotel once you arrive by car in Esslingen was a challenge which the GPS System of my vehicle helped considerably.

The hotel is in an incredible location for the Christmas market. It was a great size and the bathroom had a bathtub which was a huge bonus. The staff were very friendly and we really enjoyed our stay.

We didn't use the hotel breakfast although it smelled delicious. We were in Esslingen to see family so we ate with them. We would come back there any time and stay at the same hotel.
Our stay could have been longer. We didn't want to leave!

Excellent location, just a few minutes walk from the historic town center. Large room with enough space for a family. Good breakfast and atmosphere.
A little outdated, uses doorkeys instead of keycards. Not much else really...
