Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's hotel review. This is Cloud No7, the supposed pinnacle of luxury in Stuttgart.

This is gonna be a long one, consider yourselves warned.

Okay, now that the Google bots are happy, let's get down to brass tacks.
The Arrival: Climbing to Heaven… Or at Least the 7th Floor
First impressions? Cloud No7 gets the "wow" factor. As in, "Wow, that view!" The city sprawls out below, a dazzling carpet of buildings and green spaces. Seriously, the views are unbelievable. They live up to the hype, straight up. But… and there's always a but, isn’t there?
Accessibility: The elevator is a godsend (especially after attempting to lug my suitcase, which felt heavier than a small child, through a slightly awkward entrance). Facilities for disabled guests are touted, and I saw the elevator, which was a plus. I didn't personally need these specific services, but it looked like it would have been accommodating. You could tell some thought had gone into ensuring a wider range of people could get in and around comfortably. That’s a huge win in my book.
Inside the Cloud: The Apartment
Forget a room; you get an apartment. My God, it was spacious. A sprawling living area with a ridiculously comfortable sofa (perfect for collapsing onto after my travel ordeal). The air conditioning was a lifesaver, Stuttgart in summer can be a scorcher. The blackout curtains? Absolute bliss for sleeping in. The internet access – wireless was generally reliable, which is always a relief. But sometimes, and this is where the minor imperfections come in. Because nothing’s perfect.
Available in All Rooms: Let’s delve into the room-by-room breakdown, shall we? Air conditioning (THANK YOU, thank you, thank you), Alarm clock (who uses these anymore? My phone is now my master), Bathrobes (fluffy, and I definitely used them), Bathroom phone (um…?), Bathtub (big enough to swim in), Blackout curtains (again, bless), Carpeting (nice, but I’m a wood floor kinda girl), Closet (big enough to hide a small army), Coffee/tea maker (essential for a sane start to the day), Complimentary tea (nice touch), Daily housekeeping (impeccable), Desk (I tried to avoid working, but alas…), Extra long bed (perfect for stretching out), Free bottled water (always a plus), Hair dryer (powerful!), High floor (yep, view, remember?), In-room safe box (unused), Interconnecting room(s) available (good for families or those who want to create a party…), Internet access – LAN (I didn’t bother, the Wi-Fi was fine), Internet access – wireless (mostly good), Ironing facilities (a necessity for me, even if the ironing board looked a bit old-fashioned), Laptop workspace (essential for all my work), Linens (crisp and clean), Mini bar (expensive, but hey, it's there), Mirror (lots of them), Non-smoking (thank goodness), On-demand movies (gotta love this!), Private bathroom (obviously), Reading light (I like to write late at night), Refrigerator (handy for snacks), Safety/security feature (yes please), Satellite/cable channels (lots of channels!), Scale (avoided), Seating area (the sofas were amazing), Separate shower/bathtub (luxurious), Shower (powerful), Slippers (fluffy little things), Smoke detector (thank you for this!), Socket near the bed (a lifesaver!), Sofa (comfy!), Soundproofing (mostly), Telephone (I think I used it once?), Toiletries (nice quality), Towels (plenty of them), Umbrella (thankfully, I didn't need it!), Visual alarm (good for guests with hearing impairments), Wake-up service (used it once, it worked), Wi-Fi [free] (yes!). Window that opens (essential for fresh air and avoiding the stuffiness of the air conditioning). Okay, that was a lot!
The Spa Experience: Body Scrubs, Steamrooms, and… Awkwardness?
The spa is a highlight. Sauna, Spa, Steamroom, Massage – the works. I especially loved the Pool with view. Just floating in the water, looking out at the city after they do the perfect Body Scrub… Pure bliss! I went for the Body wrap too. That was interesting.
The Imperfection: It's All About the Towel
I’m still not sure why, but the lack of hand towels in the bathroom… It's just… I don't know, it was always the first thing I missed and then I'd go rummaging! I’d be hunting around, opening drawers, looking at myself in the mirror, wondering if I was going crazy! Then, every time, I’d grab one of the big fluffy ones. It started to feel ridiculous. Was I being too picky? Was it a cultural thing? Nope. No hand towels. Okay, so, I'm just, whatever, I'll use the big ones. Then, it happens again the next day. No hand towels! I ask the staff and they were so gracious about it, which makes it all the more perplexing. This small missing element makes the place feel human. Maybe this is a problem for a pampered princess who likes to be pampered. It was a small hiccup in an otherwise perfect experience.
Food and Drink: From Asian Breakfasts to Poolside Cocktails
Okay, food time. Restaurants? Yes, plural. Breakfast [buffet]? Yup, and a good one at that. They go all out with the Asian breakfast and the vegetarian restaurant. You can get an a la carte meal the whole time, but I went for the Breakfast service, complete with the buffet in restaurant. Coffee/tea in restaurant? Obviously. There's a Poolside bar for those Instagrammable moments. The happy hour was a nice touch – always a plus, and the snacks bar was a blessing. The International cuisine in restaurant was really tasty (but I mostly stuck to soup and salad). I'd be lying if I said the desserts in restaurant weren't a weakness. The bottle of water in the room really helped. I did opt for the [Asian cuisine in restaurant] and it was so good!
Services and Conveniences: Cashless Payments and 24-Hour Room Service!
Room service [24-hour]? Yes! Absolutely! Useful after a long day of sightseeing (or, you know, spa visits). Daily housekeeping was, as I mentioned, impeccable and I loved the fact that they had Cashless payment service and the Concierge. Concierge would find me places to see and do every day! The Doorman was charming; dry cleaning and laundry service were both efficient. Facilities for disabled guests (again, a plus). Other services? Food delivery (handy), Luggage storage, and Safety deposit boxes. They also had contactless check-in/out, and daily disinfection in common areas, which gave me peace of mind.
Cleanliness and Safety: Peace of Mind, Please!
I was super impressed with the Anti-viral cleaning products. They had Hand sanitizer available, Hygiene certification was in place, which gave me peace of mind. Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, and Rooms sanitized between stays, I could have a stress-free time. They really seem to care about everyone’s health, which is a big plus in today's world. I also loved the Doctor/nurse on call.
**For the Kids: Babysitting & Family Friendly? **
I didn't have any kids with me, so I can't personally vouch for the Kids facilities or the Babysitting service, but the family-friendly vibe was definitely there. The presence of Couple's room may be nice for a couple.

Munich's BEST Kept Secret Hotel? (Leonardo City East Review!)Okay, strap in, buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's sterile travel itinerary. This is CLOUD No7 in Stuttgart, raw and unfiltered. Prepare for a rollercoaster, because, well, that's how I do travel.
CLOUD No7 APARTMENTS & SUITES: Stuttgart – A Love Letter (With a Few Side-Eyes)
Day 1: Arrival, Bewilderment, and the Quest for Coffee
- 14:00 - Arrival at Stuttgart Airport (STR). Okay, let's be honest, airports always give me a slight anxiety headache. It's the herd mentality, the tiny seats… But hey, we're in Germany! I'm already picturing myself in a beer garden (which is probably premature).
- 14:45 - Taxi to CLOUD No7. Fingers crossed for a charming taxi driver who doesn’t mind my terrible German. I pre-booked, because, you know, responsible traveler.
- 15:30 - Check-in and Apartment Exploration. The initial impression of CLOUD No7? Sleek. Modern. A little… cold? Like a very stylish robot built a hotel. But hey, the photos looked good. I'm instantly checking for coffee-making facilities because survival. The apartment itself? Spacious. Too spacious maybe. My luggage already looks lost.
- 16:00 - The Coffee Crisis & First Impressions of Stuttgart. Okay, crisis averted. Found a Nespresso machine. Bless. I immediately go into full tourist mode - a blend of caffeine and nervous excitement. Walked around the area. The building itself is pretty well placed, there's a park nearby.
- 18:00 - Dinner at a local restaurant. Found a place, some traditional German food. It was… filling. Let's leave it at that. The server looked bemused by my attempts at German. I think I ordered a beer and a potato. And somehow I didn't get the potatoes, I was a bit too tired to start again.
- 21:00 - Crash. Hard. Jet lag is hitting me like a ton of bricks. Bedtime and endless scrolling on the phone.
Day 2: Mercedes-Benz Museum - Where My Inner Child Exploded (In a Good Way)
- 09:00 - Rise and Shine… Eventually. The bed was comfy, I'll give it that. Coffee, second round. Okay, I'm starting to feel like a human again.
- 10:00 - The Mercedes-Benz Museum. GUYS. This place is INSANE. I am not even a car person, but I was utterly captivated. The history, the design, the sheer glamour of it all. I spent way longer than I expected, taking a million photos and practically drooling over the vintage models. I even considered buying a ridiculously expensive Mercedes-Benz keychain. (I didn't, but the thought was there.)
- 13:00 - Bratwurst and People-Watching. Outside the museum, I found a food stand selling Bratwurst. Pure bliss. I’ve never eaten something so simple and so delicious. Found a bench, and observed the life, and the beautiful people.
- 14:30 - Back to the Apartment. Needed a pep-talk on how to do a little laundry…
- 16:00 - Relaxation. Had a bath. Read.
Day 3: Market Madness and a Flirtation with Swabian Food
- 09:00 - The First Step. Coffee. Check. Motivation? Questionable.
- 10:00 - Stuttgart Market (Markthalle). This place! Imagine a foodie's paradise. Stalls overflowing with cheeses, sausages, pastries, and every other delicious thing imaginable. The smells alone were intoxicating. I wandered around, completely overwhelmed, and bought a few things I couldn't identify. But by the end, I had a bag full of goodies.
- 12:00 - Trying Swabian Cuisine at a Traditional Restaurant. SpƤtzle. Maultaschen. All the things I couldn't pronounce. I somehow got through it, the food was great.
- 15:00 - A walk in the Castle Square & Parks.
- 18:00 - A little bit of work.
- 20:00 - A good old binge-watch.
Day 4: The Unplanned Adventure and a Touch of Regret (Maybe)
- 09:00 - Coffee and a Dose of Wanderlust. Feeling a little more adventurous today. Decided to visit a friend.
- 10:00 - Attempting Public Transportation. German public transport is awesome. Even I couldn't mess it up.
- 12:00 - Meeting a friend. It was very interesting. I loved it.
- 16:00 - Back to Cloud No7. Feeling sleepy.
- 19:00 - Dinner.
- 21:00 - Sleep.
Day 5: Farewell to Stuttgart, and a Promise to Return (Eventually)
- 09:00 - Last Coffee, Deep Sighs. Seriously, I’m going to miss the Nespresso.
- 10:00 - Final Apartment Inspection & Check-Out. All good.
- 11:00 - Taxi to the Airport. See ya Stuttgart.
- 13:00 - Flight.
CLOUD No7: The Verdict
Cloud No7 was… functional. Stylish. A great location. It's not a place that particularly warmed you, but it was comfortable, well-equipped and served its purpose. Would I stay there again? Probably. Especially if I could snag a sale or find a special deal. Stuttgart itself? Absolutely. It's a city that sneakily charms you. Definitely worth a visit.
Post-Trip Ramblings
I realize this itinerary is a bit… chaotic. That's because my travels are. I'm not a meticulous planner. I'm a 'wing it and see what happens' kind of person. And sometimes, that leads to the best adventures. So, if you're planning a trip to Stuttgart, embrace the messiness. Eat the sausages. Visit the museum. And maybe, just maybe, get a little bit lost. That's how the best memories are made. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need more coffee.
Kyoto's Secret Garden Oasis: Unbelievable Open-Air Bath Awaits!Okay, seriously, what's the deal with Cloud No7 and these "unbelievable views"? Is it just marketing fluff?
Alright, let's get real. "Unbelievable views" – every hotel throws that around, right? I was skeptical. Seriously skeptical. But then... I saw *the* view from the Penthouse Suite (and yes, I splurged, I'm ashamed to admit it). Okay, maybe not ashamed, I'm still buzzing weeks later. You literally feel like you're floating. It's not just a *nice* view, it's a *perspective-altering* view. You can see the whole of Stuttgart spread out below like a tiny, perfectly-organized Lego town. The Black Forest stretched out in the distance... Honestly, taking out the trash (I did, I had to) was a spiritual experience. Yes, it's marketing, but for once, the marketing isn't lying. Prepare to take approximately a bazillion photos. No, I'm not exaggerating. My Instagram feed now features 90% Stuttgart skyline. And okay, maybe I accidentally fell asleep on the balcony once, waking up with a glorious sun-kissed face and a crick in my neck, but WORTH IT! They could charge double for that view. They probably should. I'd still pay it.
Is Cloud No7 actually "luxurious," or just pretending? I've stayed in places that promised luxury and delivered… well, not luxury.
This is where Cloud No7 actually delivers, thankfully. I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to hotels, I admit it. I've seen the 'luxury' charade played out before. Cloud No7… it's the real deal. The materials? Think: softest-sheets-you've-ever-felt, the kind that makes you want to roll around like a toddler. The bathroom? So big, you could practically host a small cocktail party in there. The staff? They're genuinely helpful, bordering on psychic (they knew I needed an extra pillow before I even realized it). It's not just about the fancy stuff – the quality is evident in everything. Even the doorman remembered my name, which is insane because I’m notoriously forgettable. Honestly, I felt almost uncomfortably pampered. I’m not used to that. Okay, maybe I got *used* to it. Very, very quickly.
What's the food like? Because let's be real, even the most amazing views can be ruined by a terrible breakfast buffet.
Okay, the breakfast. This is where things REALLY get interesting. Look, I have a (possibly unhealthy) relationship with breakfast. I'm talking… a full spread. And Cloud No7 does *not* disappoint. I mean, the croissants alone... buttery, flaky, heavenly. They practically melt in your mouth. I may have, possibly, eaten four. Don't judge me. They also have a fantastic selection of local cheeses, fresh fruit, and made-to-order omelets. The coffee? Perfect. The service? Impeccable. Honestly, I went to a meeting the next day, and my brain was still happily processing the deliciousness of that morning's breakfast. It's not just a breakfast, it's an *experience*. My only complaint? The sheer volume of food. I felt like I needed to be rolled out of there afterwards. And probably had to loosen my trousers. But hey, worth every single bite. Plus, the rooftop bar has some fantastic cocktails, and the view at sunset... *chef's kiss*
Are there any downsides? Because nothing's perfect, right?
Okay, okay, here’s where I level with you. It's not *flawless*. First, the price. It's not cheap. You know it’s a splurge. My wallet is still recovering. But, I justified it because... well, have you seen the view?! Secondly, it’s popular, book ahead. Otherwise you could be stuck in a standard room (which, to be fair, are probably still amazing, I just didn't stay in one). And (and this is a minor quibble) on my first day, I was *slightly* confused by the lighting controls. I blame the champagne I'd consumed at the previously mentioned rooftop bar. I swear I spent a solid ten minutes trying to figure out how to turn on the bedside lamp. Eventually I did, but it was a bit… clumsy. But honestly, that’s it. And I was being *really* critical.
How's the location? Is it convenient for getting around and seeing stuff?
The location is surprisingly good, actually, even though I spent most of my time just staring at the view. It's close to a lot of the main attractions, the train station is relatively nearby, and there are plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance. I took a stroll around the city which was rather pleasant and everything you would expect in a german city. You know, the usual - interesting stuff and pretty streets. I should have spent more time exploring, I know. Blame the view. Blame the breakfast. Blame the incredibly comfy bed. But yeah, easy to go see stuff if you're so inclined.
What's the vibe like? Swanky and pretentious, or relaxed and welcoming?
Okay, this is important. I hate places that try too hard to be fancy and end up just being… annoying. Cloud No7? It's genuinely welcoming. Yes, it's luxurious, but it doesn't feel stuffy. The staff are friendly and helpful, not like they’re judging your choice of shoes (I wore my comfy sneakers, no judgement here). There's a relaxed atmosphere, which is a huge relief. You can actually, like, *relax* in the lobby, without feeling like you need to adopt a specific pose. Seriously, you could be wearing a bathrobe (I didn’t, mind you, but I felt like I could). The only thing stopping me from taking a dip in the pool naked was the fear of the view giving everyone else indecent exposure. It's got that 'treat yourself but don't be a jerk' kind of vibe, which I fully endorse. It's a place you can go to actually *enjoy* yourself. Which, let’s face it, is what a hotel should be.
Are the suites worth the extra money?
Listen, this is a personal question. Are *you* worth the extra money? I am, and my answer is yes. The views, the space, the sheer *luxury* of it all? Absolutely. If you can swing it, do it. I only got the penthouse suite because the stars aligned and my bank account was temporarily feeling generous. The Penthouse Suite? It was more than a room, it was a *statement*. It was an experience. It was the best hotel room I have ever stayed in, and I've stayed in a few! (ahem) The private balcony... *swoon*. But even the lower-level suites, from what I heard, are pretty spectacular. If you're on a budget, maybe start smaller,Bangalore's Mystic Mansion: Secrets & Spooky Stories You WON'T Believe!
