Motel One Ulm
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, book it if you want to sleep a minute from Ulm Minster at a fair price, with a rooftop bar guests love. Skip it if a relaxed, roomy breakfast matters to you, since guests say seating is tight and crowded.

This is our Best Value pick in Ulm. It suits city-break travellers, train arrivals and anyone who wants to walk everywhere in the centre. Family rooms are listed, and the listing tags indicate pets are accepted.
It is a three-star hotel, so do not expect spa or gym facilities, which are not listed. Travellers who want a long, comfortable breakfast may be disappointed by the seating. Those with a car should note that parking is not listed in our data.
Location and getting around
The address is Münsterplatz 7, right on the square. The location score is 9.8, the highest of our three Ulm picks. Guests say it is a short walk from the train station.
Ulm Minster is about 0.1 km away, roughly a minute on foot. Söflingen Abbey is about 0.6 km, around 8 minutes. Elchingen Abbey is a different matter: about 9.3 km and roughly 116 minutes on foot, so it is far and you will need public transport or a taxi. All walking times are straight-line estimates.
What guests say
The score is 8.7 out of 10 from 3,658 reviews, joint third of the 7 properties in the sample. The review base is the largest of our three Ulm picks.
Two things stand out for guests: the central position on Münsterplatz and the rooftop bar on the 5th floor, described as stylish, with cocktails and cathedral views.
The main complaint concerns breakfast. The organic options taste good, but seating is often low, uncomfortable or crowded. Going early may help, though that is not confirmed.
Price compared with our other two picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 Nov, 2 adults) were about 116 euros a night, around 232 euros in total. That is 5 percent below the sample median of about 122 euros. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, PLAZA Premium Parkhotel Neu-Ulm, was about 103 euros with an 8.5 score and four stars. Our Luxury pick, LAGO hotel & restaurant am see, was about 186 euros with an 8.9 score.
For about 13 euros more than the Budget pick, you get a better score and a far more central address. Listed facilities are modest: free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a terrace and a buffet breakfast. Whether breakfast is included in your rate is not confirmed.

Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Since the hotel is on a central square, light sleepers should read recent reviews on noise. Confirm rooftop bar opening times, check parking options if you drive, and confirm pet conditions and fees if relevant.
