Friendly staff at check in, a beautiful hotel with lovely architecture, easy walk into the town centre. Parking is on street around the hotel but a very quiet area so no worries regards security. Stunning city to visit, this was the perfect overnight stop.

This hotel is easily walkable to tourist district 10-15 min max. Which has loads of restaurants and shops. The room was very clean and staff nice. They do leave at 7 pm and you’re basically on your own til the next am. We had a car and you have parking on city streets at 5 euros a day (need to get a slip at front desk) but you have to find street parking which can be a challenge. They do have a few spots you can book in advance but we didn’t know that and they were gone upon arrival. They have an air condenser but no ac and as hear wave, it was hot. Otherwise the property is In a great spot at least for walking. 20 min or so to River. And close to several things if walking

The reception staff were very nice. The room was large and felt reasonably clean. However, the mattress cover was grubby and my sheet had small holes in it. We asked for water at reception and were given bottles but not told we would be charged for them, and although I dont mind paying for a bottle of water, it would have been good to be advised at the time rather than be presented with a bill for water at the end. It was very hot when we visited and there was no aircon, so we had to have the windows open. The steet noise was very loud until about 3am and started again at 5am. Other than that the room had everything we needed.

Heidelberg Visit

Convenient hotel for centre of Heidelberg. We were able to explore on foot from here without the need for public transport. Lots of cafes and restaurants nearby but hotel was just away from the centre in a reasonably quiet neighbourhood. Staff were friendly but quite anonymous…we didn’t need anything in particular during our stay so only saw them at check-in and out. Parking is just across the road, hidden away in an enclosed area of a side street.

The people are friendly and attentive. The property is well maintained. It is close enough to the altstadt that walking everywhere was no problem. The food recommendation from the receptionist “krokodil” was not very good and overpriced. Plenty of better places a short distance away. Otherwise all was great!
