Detailed Reviews
A 1-night stay, 1st visit. Immediately adjacent to the Muenster (church), the hotel was a little past its best in terms of decor and fittings however for 90 Euro the Junior Suite was good value and spacious for such a central location.
No opportunity to use the restaurant other than breakfast, but the meals looked superb.
No parking that we could see but adjacent to a public under-ground car-park.
Ulm itself was a delight, well worth an overnight stay.

You couldn't find a more centrally located hotel if you wanted to. My window faced the cathedral. Regarding earlier comments, of course you hear the church bells, it is right next to you. But with the windows closed it was no problem at all. The closed windows also kept the other noise from people out....
The hotel itself is done it what we would call "altdeutscher Stil"... Old.... Old, even ancient cupboards, and other furniture. The rooms themselves are small but functional. The furniture inside the rooms was, I hesitate to call it new, but newish. Perfectly ok to stay in for a night or two. Small bathrooms but with everything in it. Breakfast was OK, not opulent but enough. Staff was very nice and friendly. The mattress unfortunately was old and not comfortable at all, could do with a new one. Couldn't get the WiFi to work on my laptop, but it worked on my phone....
All in all, I liked the hotel for its charm and location. Would definitely stay again.

Location, location, location. You are literally in the shadow of Ulmer Münster cathedral - the tallest and perhaps largest in the world. It has pews to hold 10,000 people. I could have thrown a tennis ball and bounced it off the wall of the cathedral from my third floor room. The views in the evening and morning were spectacular, as were the bells. The room itself (No.28, third floor) was quirky in layout, but that made it more fun. They’ve been updated nicely, with newer bathroom fixtures. Luxurious and flawless wouldn’t describe the room, but unique, fun, comfortable, hip, clean, and a few minor imperfections would. We opened the three windows wide, let the cool night air in, and it was magical. It had two rooms and two showers, a bunk bed and a standard double bed. Nice duvets, a sitting room. Toilet is kind of…open. There is only a sliding, frosted glass door shutting it off from the rest of the room - kind of amusing. One of the showers is off the sitting room, also lightly frosted glass. All of this would be fine for a family. Less so for two couples, or a group of four friends. Kids though, and adventurous parents, would love it.

This hotel is right in the heart of Ulm. Within walking distance to all attractions. Fantastic restaurant with nice seating in the outside "cafe" area. The room was a bit small, with a tiny bathroom, but who spends time in the room, right? Also was a very clean hotel! I recommend this hotel, and would like to go back!

Booked online without, unfortunately, reading the reviews. Actually the hotel has a very central position even if it is difficult to find. It has no parking space for which you have to do a long walk. The girl at the reception was kind and smiling... and resigned. The elevator is small ... too small for 4, 3, 2 ... We climb individually. Lack of cleaning. Very old style and abandoned. The view from the window is beautiful ... But ... the double bed has a yellow spot in the middle! 3 dead wasps on the windowsill, the window does not close, hair in a bed and yellow crusts on the shower tray. The lady who was cleaning tells me in German, that this time the toilet paper is for free but the next i have to buy it! We are 4 and I point out that she gave me only 3 sets for the bed, annoyed she gives me the fourth quilt ... without duvet cover, pillow and pillowcase. Requested my money back and changed the hotel.

We recently took a biking vacation along the Danube, and the bicycle tour company had booked us for our first night at the Hotel am Rathaus, in Ulm. To our surprise, when we arrived, the Hotel am Rathaus informed us that because of "baustelle" (construction work), they had moved us to a hotel a couple of blocks away, the Hotel Ulmer Spatz. Someone from the Hotel am Rathaus walked us over to the Hotel Ulmer Spatz, about three blocks away across a beautiful square/street with the city's historic Rathaus and new/contemporary art museum.
We knew right away that the Hotel Ulmer Spatz was not quite as good quality as the Hotel am Rathaus, where we had been told we would be staying. But, it was closer to the historic cathedral - so we thought, eh, let's go with the flow and not press the Hotel am Rathaus too much.
That was a mistake. The Hotel Ulmer Spatz is a tired hotel. It's clean, but very worn, with lots of quirks - a microscopic elevator (really big enough for only one person and one suitcase), ridiculously tight/tiny lobby, old furniture. The worst thing of all, though, was that the rooms were stiflingly hot. This was in mid-June, and it was about 65 degrees F outside during the daytime, but our second-floor bedroom must have been 80 degrees F - maybe because heat rises, so the higher rooms were hotter? There is no air conditioning, so all you can do is open the windows - which meant that bugs came in throughout the night. But, because the cathedral's bell tolls EVERY 15 MINUTES throughout the night, we were awake to greet all the bugs. It was a miserable, hot, sleepless night - and, since we were starting a bike trip the following morning, we really needed a good night's sleep.
For what it's worth, we didn't see any construction work at the Hotel am Rathaus - there were plenty of guests coming in and out, and it looked to be of higher quality than the Hotel Ulmer Spatz, in a slightly better location and adjacent to several good restaurants. We don't really believe they relocated us because of construction work - but that's a problem with the Hotel am Rathaus, not the Hotel Ulmer Spatz, where we ultimately stayed.

This hotel is in the middle of the town, rather difficult to find when travelling by car and no car park so that one has to unpack and avoid the traffic warden at the same time. Nice restaurant but only average rooms. Our evening meal was excellent as was the wine but breakfast was poor to say the least. No bread, no rolls and only one untrained staff- in the end one of the guests had to help serving as otherwise we would have gone hungry. Shame about that our rating reflects this.

If you're looking for a four-star accomodation go right ahead--and be ready to pay for it. But if you're looking for a classic German Gasthaus with n absolutely incredible restaurant, then go to the Ulmer Spatz. No, there are no flat scree tv's, at least not yet. And, the beds aren't overstuffed. The rooms have no fluff to them and can be described as spartan. But you'll get a great night's sleep. Besides, who wants to be indoors when you are right in the middle of everything--right next to the beautiful gothic masterpiece and the tallest steeeple in the world, as well as in the center of a freat city. For a very reasonable price you get a real classic that you won't soon forget. A great place!!
