I stayed at Hotel Zur Alten Brücke for just one night, and while the stay was short, the experience was unforgettable — thanks especially to Sebastian at the front desk. When I arrived, Sebastian kindly helped me with my luggage and even brought it up to my room, which I truly appreciated after a long day of travel. The hotel itself was charming, comfortable, and perfectly located in the heart of Heidelberg’s old town. When it was time to check out, Sebastian once again went above and beyond. He helped me with my heavy bags, walking with me over the cobblestone streets all the way to the Old Bridge (Alte Brücke) so I could catch a taxi from there. Later, after I had already left, I realized I had forgotten one of my bags. To my surprise and relief, Sebastian answered my call right away, helped me through every step, and personally arranged to have my bag shipped safely to me in the U.S. His kindness, professionalism, and genuine care turned what could have been a stressful situation into a truly positive and memorable experience. If you’re ever in Heidelberg, I highly recommend Hotel Zur Alten Brücke — and if Sebastian at the front desk is on duty, you’ll be in the best hands possible. ⭐ Rating: 5/5

My second time at this hotel. Same charm, lovely staff, very comfortable beds, super clean. I will come back when I go hiking in the fall. It’s so close to everything, if you are in town for shopping and dining you will love it, if you want to explore the hiking trails across the bridge - you will love it too. Thanks again for the wonderful sleep :)

The suites here are very beautiful. I love the decor. Very clean. The best location (in my opinion) because it’s right by the bridge to access the hiking trails and right in the heart of the downtown area so you are close to the shops, and restaurants. I forgot to leave my review back in March when I went for my birthday - but I’m leaving one now, on the day I’m going back :) boutique hotel lovers will love this place.

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.
