Beautiful place to stay. Located right along the main walk through Heidelberg. Easy access to the castle, bridges and Philosopher’s Walk. Breakfast was lovely and had dinner one night; schnitzel and beef roulade – amazing! Definitely recommend for tourists!

Heidelberg visit

The reception is in the restaurant where we had a late lunch, Buddha bowl enjoyed by my daughter and a German cheese noodle dish enjoyed by myself, (forgotten the German name). Friendly and efficient service. Our room was really cute, in the eaves with a wonderful view over the Heidelberg hill and houses. We could hear church bells and see the lights come on at dusk over the chimney pots! We were able to leave our luggage on checking out and return later to collect it without problem. Centrally based with lots of lovely cafes, restaurants and souvenir shops. We used the metro and the bus for easy travel and if you like walking, go to Konigsstuhl for forest walks from Bismarktplatz on no.39. Hans Im Gluck serve great vegan and meat burgers if you fancy some non-German food and have a warm, funky interior with great service too. The guided tour at the castle is a must. The guide, despite being a quick speaker, was marvellous and had a very dry sense of humour. I will never forget King Ludwig now!

I had a good experience staying at the Goldener Falke. The room was spotlessly clean, the bed was very comfortable, and the space was very quiet. The location truly can’t be beat - facing the main square, a 5-minute walk to the Rhine, and a 2-minute walk to the bus stop to the main station station (5-minute ride). The restaurant was also excellent, with wonderful service. Overall, I’m glad to have stayed here. But I should mention that they are a restaurant that rents rooms, rather than a full-service hotel. This means that they don’t have a secure space for holding luggage if one arrives before or departs the city after check-in (or, if they have one, I wasn’t offered it). I still had a lovely stay, but I hope my mentioning this info helps others not be caught by surprise.

The Goldener Falke was a great location. Traveled with a family of 3-the room was large, although floors sloped dramatically. We chalked that up to character. The beds were comfortable and clean. Checkin was at the adjoining restaurant. It was a little hard to find parking (didnt find the ramp that was recommended) and then drag luggage a few blocks along cobblestone streets. We visited during Christmas market time so the area was busy beautiful and fun!

The only complaints we had were... the top floor where we stayed , we could only access by stair....elevator only goes to third floor. But the room made up for that...it was so cute and cozy! And plenty of space. We also were woken up by garbage trucks and other noises early in the morning...not a huge deal, but unexpected in an "old town" setting. The staff was awesome, the food delicious...all in all an excellent stay...we'll be back!

If you visit Heidelberg, this is the place to stay. It almost feels like a bed and breakfast. The rooms are so cute and stocked with everything you need! Honestly out of all of the places we stayed in Germany… this was our favorite. They also serve a very nice breakfast in the morning for guests that is included. We would definitely come back and would highly recommend to anyone!
