Unbelievable Ulm Getaway: Heigeleshof Guest House Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups! Because we're about to go on a wild, messy, and utterly honest journey into the heart of the "Unbelievable Ulm Getaway: Heigeleshof Guest House Awaits!" – a place that, frankly, had me at "Ulm." (I have a thing for quirky German place names, don't judge.) And listen, I’m a pretty tough critic, but after really digging into everything this place offers, I've got some seriously mixed feelings, and let's just say, it's not all glühwein and roses…
First Impressions: The Good, the Quirky, and the "Wait, WHAT?"
Okay, accessibility. This is important, peeps. Heigeleshof seems to have its act together on this. Wheelchair accessible is a huge win, and they're shouting about facilities for disabled guests. That's music to my ears. Elevator? Check. Facilities for disabled guests? Check, check! They're also offering Airport transfer, how convenient! I like a place that makes it easy to get places. This is already looking better than that awful hostel I stayed at in Prague last year (don't even get me started).
Cleanliness and Safety – Because Germs are NOT My Friends
Now, with all that pandemic craziness going on, cleanliness is KING (or Queen, whatever your preference). Heigeleshof says they're on top of it. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Individually-wrapped food options, Rooms sanitized between stays… it all sounds reassuring. They’ve got hand sanitizers, and staff trained in safety protocols. Basically, they're throwing everything at those pesky germs, which is great. They even offer room sanitization opt-out available. Kudos!
And the food! Oh, the food! I can already taste the Asian breakfast! I have a soft spot for anything international the breakfast buffet sounds amazing. Plus, they have Asian cuisine in restaurant!
The Rooms: Comfort vs. "Where's my Mini Bar?"
Alright, the bread and butter of any hotel stay: the room. They're offering Air conditioning, thank goodness! Got Blackout curtains? Sweet. Free Wi-Fi, yep. In-room safe box, good. Internet access – wireless you betcha. Mini bar. A must! Additional toilet. Nice, always a bonus! Bathrobes, slippers, the works, fancy! I like! They even have an extra long bed! In the room, you get desk and laptop workspace. The window that opens is a lifesaver. Now, I'd like to test the wifi! It's very important to me!
Things to Do & Ways to Relax (or, Can I just Hibernate?)
This is where it gets interesting. Heigeleshof is aiming for the deluxe end of the spectrum. There’s a Fitness center – fine, if you must. Swimming pool [outdoor]? Okay, I could get on board with that, if it’s actually nice. The pool with a view sounds lovely. And the real kicker: Spa/sauna! Hello, relaxation! A Sauna! Yes please! Massage, Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath – they're practically begging you to unwind. This is where the true relaxation seekers come to play.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – Food Glorious Food
Ah, my happy place. Food. Heigeleshof seems to understand. Think A la carte in restaurant, Bar, Coffee/tea in restaurant (essential!), Happy hour, (obviously!), Poolside bar, (yes!) Restaurants, and a Snack bar. They also cater to all tastes with Alternative meal arrangement, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, Salad in restaurant, and Soup in restaurant. The Room service [24-hour] is a godsend! I may never leave my room.
Services and Conveniences – The Little Things that Make a Big Difference (and the Weird Ones)
This is where they go into overdrive. Free Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, and Dry cleaning. Then, there's the weirder stuff…a Shrine??? (I’m a pretty secular person, but hey, maybe I’ll learn something new.) Also, Facilities for disabled guests, are very prominent. Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities, Outdoor venue for special events, Projector/LED display, And a Safety deposit box. They've even got a Gift/souvenir shop.
For the Kids (aka, Making Sure the Kiddos Survive) – They Have Babysitting Service!
Babysitting service, is a huge win for parents! They also have Family/child friendly.
Accessibility, Safety and Security (aka, Keeping You Protected)
Access, CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, Check-in/out [express], Fire extinguisher, Front desk [24-hour], Hotel chain, Non-smoking rooms, Pets allowed unavailable, Safety/security feature, Smoke alarms, Soundproof rooms. This is a hotel that takes your safety seriously.
Getting Around (aka, Escape if Necessary)
Airport transfer, Car park [free of charge], Taxi service, Valet parking, all the things you need.
My Emotional Rollercoaster: What's REALLY Going On Here
Okay, deep breaths. This place has some serious pros. The pool, the spa, the food options… it's almost overwhelmingly tempting. But there's something… sterile about it. Too many "bells and whistles" for me to feel truly comfortable. I want a quirky, comfortable, memorable stay.
But wait!! The Food!!!!!
Oh my god. Asian breakfast? Sold. International cuisine in restaurant? Yes. I'm already envisioning myself at the bar at happy hour.
The Annoying Bits
It also seems to be trying too hard. The whole “professional-grade sanitizing services” thing, while important, feels a bit… clinical. I want a good cleaning, not a lab experiment.
My verdict:
Heigeleshof could potentially be perfect if you’re looking for a relaxing getaway. With an emphasis on relaxation, food and safety, they've created a very well-rounded hotel.

Okay, Here We Go: My Unofficial, Definitely-Not-Perfect Ulm Adventure
Day 1: Arrival! And Mild Panic.
14:00 - Arrival at Ulm Hauptbahnhof: "Wow," I thought, genuinely impressed. "Germany. Finally." Except my luggage chose that moment to try and escape (nearly took out a very stern-looking Frau with a wicker basket). Managed to wrestle it back, muttering apologies in a rapidly deteriorating German ("Entschuldigung? Scheiße! I mean, um… *Bitte?"). Found the Heigeleshof on a map after a bit of wandering, which involved getting hilariously lost in what I *thought* was a short cut (ended up face-to-face with a very confused pigeon).
15:00 - Check-in at Heigeleshof: The receptionist – bless her heart – was lovely. My German, however, was… well, let's say she switched to English pretty quickly. The room itself was charming, with that slightly-too-firm-but-still-okay-bed vibe. I, however, felt the need to reorganize the toiletries. I was missing my own body wash. Panic mode activated.
16:00 - Exploring the Neighborhood: Found an amazing bakery I don't know why I didn't order the entire place. I got a Brezel, which was heaven, and a slice of some sort of cake that looked like a small German forest (in the best way possible). Ate it standing on the street, watching the world go by, pretending to be a sophisticated European. Spoiler: I'm not.
18:00 - Dinner at a Restaurant I Can't Pronounce: Somewhere near the Münster. It was packed. Everywhere was packed. Somehow, I squeezed in. The food? Hearty. The beer? Delicious. The conversation? Mostly me trying to understand the (very patient) waiter. I think I ordered sausages. I know I pointed a lot. It was a win, however.
20:00 - Attempted Münster Viewing: Tried to see the Ulm Minster (the highest church steeple in the world!). Too dark. Massive building. Gave up. Tomorrow.
21:00 - Bedtime: (or, more accurately, Netflix and a half-eaten chocolate bar). Jet lag hits hard.
Day 2: Holy Structures and Heartbreak (over a Sausage)
09:00 - Münster Round Two: Okay, that was impressive. The sheer scale of the Ulm Minster is mind-boggling. Staring up at those spires made me feel tiny (and unexpectedly emotional. Seriously, why am I crying over a church?). I attempted to buy a souvenir. The man running the kiosk was either a master of the deadpan stare or genuinely unimpressed by my credit card. Either way, I got my postcard.
11:00 - Fischerstadt (Fisherman's Quarter): This place is postcard-perfect. Cobblestone streets, wonky buildings, canals… I felt like I'd wandered into a fairytale. I actually bought a little gnome statue for my garden (don't judge me).
12:00 - Sausage Tragedy: Found a perfect sausage stand. The aroma was intoxicating. I ordered one, took a triumphant bite… and promptly burned my mouth. Devastation. Sat on a bench, nursing my throbbing tongue, watching the world. What a drama queen.
13:00 - Museum-ing (Attempted): Tried to go to the Ulm Museum. Got distracted by another bakery. Priorities, people! But I did peek in the window and see some cool modern art and also some boring stuff.
14:00 - Rest and Review: Back at the place. Took a nap, reviewed my notes, and I am loving the quiet.
19:00 - Evening Meal and the World: Found a quieter place to eat. Actually felt hungry, and ordered a massive plate of something I couldn't identify. Tasted fabulous, took a picture and went to bed.
Day 3: Farewell (For Now), Ulm!
09:00 - Last Brezel: One last glorious, salty, chewy Brezel. Savored every bite.
10:00 - Souvenir Hunt (Round 2): Found that cool little souvenir shop (where I actually managed to speak more than two words fluently).
11:00 - Packing, which includes crying: The end.
12:00 - Departure: The train. The end. For now!
Final Thoughts: Ulm, you were weird, wonderful, and full of sausage-based heartbreak. Would I come back? Absolutely. Will I become fluent in German? Probably not. Do I care? Not really. Because, as this itinerary proves, the "perfect" trip just isn't as fun. Now, where's that chocolate bar…?
Venice Calling: Unbelievable Sheraton Mestre Deals!
So, like, *why* Heigeleshof? What's the big deal? Is it really "unbelievable"?
Okay, let's be REAL. "Unbelievable" is a bold statement. Look, I'd scrolled through about a million Ulm options, my brain felt like scrambled eggs, and honestly, I was just *done*. Then this popped up. Pictures were idyllic – rolling hills, a cozy house… and the *promise* of breakfast. Look, I’m a sucker for breakfast. And in the end? Yeah, it was pretty darn good. Especially after the (mis)adventures with the train.
Is it *life-changing*? Probably not. Unless your life really needed a good schnitzel after a day of museum hopping. But it's definitely a solid choice. It felt... welcoming and cozy. Like visiting a slightly eccentric aunt who *really* knows how to bake. (More on Auntie later) Let's just say it's a step *up* from a generic hotel chain and a step *down* from needing a trust fund to afford the stay.
What's the *actual* location like? I'm picturing a remote cabin in the woods...
Nope, not a cabin. Although… I *did* get a fleeting feeling of being completely lost for an hour there. Heigeleshof actually sits on the outskirts of Ulm, which is actually perfect really. You can smell the fresh air, it feels rural, but you're a short car or bus ride from all the *stuff* you wanna see. You can also walk! Which I did. For miles. More like a brisk trek. It's got its own quirky charm. Think... a charming, slightly overgrown garden, and a view that makes you want to *actually* breathe. I would get totally lost in the winding walks. The place also felt safe. And quiet. That was a plus after the hustle and bustle of the city.
Okay, let's get to the rooms. Are they… clean? Comfy? And what about the *size*?
Alright, the rooms. YES, they were clean, thankfully! No dust bunnies doing the tango, which is always a win in my book. Comfy? Definitely. Cozy is the operative word. Think fluffy duvets, and enough pillows to build a fort if you're feeling childish (I totally was, shhh). The size… well, that's where things get a little… *characterful*. My room wasn’t huge, but it was perfectly adequate. Plenty of room to *move* around, and I'm not the skinniest person by any means. My friend however. Her room was a *little* cramped. She kept bumping into things. She took it in stride, bless her heart. But, all in all, I would've been happy to have a bed to collapse in, especially after navigating that train station. Speaking of which…
Tell me about the food! Breakfast better be good, you said.
Breakfast is where Heigeleshof *really* shines. (Okay, maybe not *shines*, but it's damn good). Seriously, this is worth mentioning. Imagine a spread with fresh bread, that smelled amazing, cheeses, meats, yogurt, fruit, the works! And real coffee! Not that weak hotel stuff! And the woman who runs the place… she’s the auntie I was talking about. Sweet as pie, but with a glint in her eye. Like she knew all the secrets of life *and* how to make the perfect scrambled eggs. (And if I can offer some advice, get there early. Things disappear fast, I’m just saying.) Breakfast was *definitely* a highlight, even though I was perpetually late, I still managed to grab some.
Any *hidden costs*? Or things I should be aware of before booking?
Hmmm… hidden costs? Not really. They were pretty upfront about everything. The price you see is the price you pay (unless you get super greedy at breakfast, and then Auntie might give you the stink eye). Just… be aware parking can be a little tight. It's not a massive lot. And if you're arriving late, you *might* have to squeeze in. Also, the Wi-Fi… it was a little…spotty. Okay, let’s be honest, it occasionally vanished into the ether. But hey, at least it forced me to unplug for a bit! (Which, in hindsight, was probably a good thing. I’m addicted to my phone.) Also, you might want to bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper because some of the walls were a little thin. You could hear everything. Thankfully, the bed was comfortable. Seriously.
Okay, so, what was your *favorite* part about staying there? Spill it.
This is a good one. Okay, it’s a tie. First? That breakfast. I'm still dreaming about those croissants. But I'll tell you what. It was that *feeling*. The feeling of truly relaxing. Of finally getting away. The fact I could simply *breathe*. Being able to come back to the place after a long and tiring day? Perfect. It was just a really lovely spot to come *home* too. Even if it was just for a few days. And I would go back. Anytime.
Any downsides? Be honest!
Alright, alright, let’s get real. The Wi-Fi was a pain in the butt. Seriously. I had to tether to my phone more than once. And the walls *were* thin. I could hear the neighbors snoring, which was… not ideal. Oh, and the walk back from the city center at night? It was dark. And I’m a scaredy-cat. It *felt* safe, but still. And there's no elevator. Which, if you’re on the third floor with a suitcase the size of a small car… yeah. But honestly? The good outweighed the bad. And the breakfast… well, the breakfast almost single-handedly erased any complaints.
Would you recommend this place to other people?
Yes! Yes, I would. With a few caveats, of course. If you need a super-modern, luxurious experience, this ain’t it. But if you want a charming, comfortable stay, with amazing breakfast and a genuine touch of local hospitality, then *absolutely*. Just… pack earplugs, and download a few movies in case the Wi-Fi goes AWOL. But otherwise? Go. Seriously, go. You won’t regret it... most of the time.
