Abbate Boutique Hotel | Hotel in Ulm

Nice place but not a regular hotel as I know it. Please remember nice, it was nice and clean. Coffee machine in the room etc. But… Finding it. That was an issue. Google maps said I was there, but no sign of a hotel. Logged in the app, called the “hotel”. “Aah you are here. Just go in the coffee shop that says “Spresso” and say you have a reservation”, of course I should have expected that… Parking. I had a rental from the airport. There is no f… place near the hotel to park. It is the freaking middle of Ulm old town. Beautiful but not practical with a car. However, the nice guy (receptionist, barista, chef, bartender…) gave me the address to a parking house quite near by. Breakfast was included according to my reservation. I’m a swede and have been travelling all over Europe and I thought I seen it all. No, I’ve had not. Breakfast? “If you want breakfast, you can eat it in the cafe, but if it’s crowded like most mornings. Please bring it to your room or have it as a takeaway”. I stayed 3 nights but only had the first included breakfast. You can’t imagine what it contained. “Oh sir, you are a guest at the hotel. Then you get a cornetto and coffee/tea. Which kind do you prefer? Chocolate, vanilla or pistachio? What? It’s a croissant with one of these fillings. Well… sounds sweet. Can I have a croissant with just cheese or marmalade instead? No, we don’t have that, this is what you get.” Heavy sweet dessert as breakfast… some might like it but it was not for me.

Great accomodations, wonderful staff and very pet friendly which was a huge plus. Excellent location, very clean and would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the lovely city of Ulm!

Excellent location, great service and value

Wonderful one night stay! Very comfortable and extremely convenient location, right behind the cathedral. Friendly staff. Highly recommend!

Great location, nice rooms, but no AC for hot days.

We didn’t want to stay in a city so chose Ulm for its transport links and proximity to Bavaria for sightseeing. The Abbate wasn’t a very good choice for us. We stayed for 10 days and the room simply isn’t designed for a stay of that length - storage consisted of one tiny hanging rail and one drawer. Check in wasn’t great. There is no separate reception and check in is at the bistro downstairs. After a long day travelling sitting around waiting in the bistro for ten minutes wasn’t much fun. We weren’t impressed by the cleaning. The coffee machine in our room was disgusting and obviously hadn’t been used or cleaned for months. Some days the cleaner took away used cups and glasses, some days not. Ulm is initially a charming little town but after a few days there is little to do and travel is not as convenient as I had hoped, anywhere of interest is a couple of hours away by train.

The room was large, modern, quiet, and very comfortable. Would return!

Great location. Wonderful hosts and loved the cappuccino in the morning along with the cornetta! Easy to walk to everything including the Danube. Highly recommend.

Lovely boutique hotel right behind the famous Ulmer Münster. Very chique room with a super nice bathroom! We had a corner room with huge windows to both sides! To wake up to this view is priceless. Italian style breakfast in the cafe downstairs is maybe not the typical hotel breakfast expirience some crave, but for us it was perfect to start the day with a croissant and a large coffee.
