This is a lovely hotel in a fantastic location, however there is a 'but' ! The owner / chef (I think) is quite rude and unhelpful, but the rest of the staff were very pleasant. If he is the chef, he should stay in the kitchen, because despite his poor social skills, he can cook. The food is very good. The rooms are lovely, however there is no A/C so you might need the windows open. The hotels fantastic location can then be a problem as it can be very lively and as such noisy. This isnt a criticism or complaint, just an observation as it might bother some people. Finally, despite the implication in their list of ammenities, there is no onsite parking of any sort. There is free on street parking for motorcycles a few hundred metres away, but if that doesnt suit or you're in a car you have to drive to public parking (which the hotel subsidise). We were unfortunate in that we turned up on a holiday weekend and all the public car parks were full and we nneded to queue to get in as other cars left. Not the hotels fault but worthy of note. Finally tho' id reiterate the fantastic location, great rooms and good food in the restaurant.

Location is fantastic! Right at the base of the old bridge. Very walkable area. Hotel is very quaint and charming. The restaurant attached to the hotel serves very good traditional German food for dinner. Very lovely place. Staff are friendly and the beds were comfortable. Our room did not have a safe or a small fridge. Not sure if the others do. Internet was quite spotty. We were told that because we booked with Expedia, the breakfast was not included but we did not have that experience with two other hotels we booked on Expedia in Frankfurt and Nuremberg.

This hotel is a hidden gem located at the old bridge and gate. Great location making it easy to walk both sides of the river and access to the castle and all the charm of old tiwn Heidelberg. At night cross the bridge to the right to get stunning pictures of the bridge, city, and castle lite up.

It is located in a great location, and the rooms are comfortable and clean, and the staff friendly if not the most helpful. The only downside is the restaurant. It says you can come in and enjoy a drink, but that is not the case. You can eat in there after 6PM, but you are not allowed to come in and have a drink. Overall a nice place, but probably wouldn’t stay here again.
