excellent location, very good breakfast, freindly staff
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The hotel is very, very well located, in an old traditional house right in the center of the old town near the Alte Brücke and the Rathaus. The breakfast was abundant and well served. The staff was great. However, the carpet in our room needed a good cleaning, and the hotel needs a bit of an update. The room was very quiet and the beds comfortable. hotel does not have an elevator, so if you carry large suitcases I recommend you request a room on the 1st floor (2nd floor in the US) I have to say that the description of the hotel on the website is quite accurate. In all fairness, It is a good stay for the cost.

Great breakfast variety in a very nice breakfast room. Hotel was in a great location, walkable to everything, close to the river and castle. Our room was a little noisy as it faced the street, but didn’t keep me awake.

Great location, friendly staff. Quaint. My only complaint is there is no elevator and the stairs are narrow and steep.

This is a great location with friendly staff in the old town. It s in old town so it is an older building but the room was spacious and clean. Heidelberg is also a unversity town so expect to hear the students socializing in the later evening. We felt very safe when we were out.

In the heart of the city. Wonderful staff. Lovely breakfast. Facility is NOT handicap-accessible. It is within a two-minute walk of the Bergbahn to the castle and Bus 20 stop to/from the train station. American travelers be advised this is a fine place to stay if you are open to a comfortable, clean place to stay a night ot two.
Verified review

4/10 Fair

The location was great, except it was on the corner of a busy restaurant and bar area, loud music and people all night, so not much sleep. The room was clean, except for a lot of stains on the carpeting. They need to start the breakfast earlier, most places start at 6:30 or 7:00. This place not until 8:00, we had an early flight so we missed out on breakfast. The Korean restaurant next door was good.

8/10 Very good

Quaint, older hotel right in the heart of the cathedral square. Great service. Room had a lot of space. Clean and comfortable. Solid breakfast included. No air conditioning, but a big fan and all of the windows opened to allow a lot of cool air. Some street noise later into the summer nights, which I liked. No lift. Had to port luggage up stairs. No PSD ports, so just use an adapter.

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is very conveniently located at the corner of the marketplace, the center of Heidelberg. It is also right next to the beautiful bridge that pedestrian could walk on and have a great view of the city and the castle. The staff is very friendly and professional and courteous. Our room has a nice size and many windows for natural breeze and air. It also includes the decent quality breakfast, which is very convenient. The only challenge is for the Uber driver to pick us up. We called an Uber to pick us up to the train station, it took the Uber driver a long time to find us. We had to cancel one order Uber driver prior because he couldn’t find us.
Verified review

6/10 Good

I gave this hotel an average rating based on the location of the hotel and the wonderful staff members. We had a problem with our heat and someone addressed this immediately. The biggest down side is that there is no elevator. Thank heaven I had two strong able bodied children that could haul large bags up winding steps. They were not to happy. Please be prepared. A lot of things were outdated or could used to be fixed. These were small items and we were there only one night.

6/10 Good

Great location and helpful staff. Very nice people. The free breakfast was nice. The room itself is dated and boring. Not very comfortable but ok for one night. We had to park way outside of the city center and walk it which wasn’t too bad with just backpacks. It’s in a great location though. Right near all the sights.

The location was amazing, great view from the top floor, the staff were attentive. The breakfast was also good. I would only recommend for them to have fans in all the rooms, I asked reception for one and they had one available, it was life saving, too hot on the top floor.
