Good location in the new town, close to the bridge to get to the old town, without the crowds of tourists. Looks out onto square with outdoor cafes. Staff friendly and helpful.

Great new hotel
We booked this hotel while traveling Germany; it was close to downtown. The hotel is nice, the area is nice and lots of options, and only a 20 min walk to the bridge. We ended up with the handicapped room. Growing up with a handicapped mother this was one of the best handicapped bathrooms I had ever seen.

The hotel and staff were excellent. Major plus is this hotel is only 4 years old and has A/C in its rooms. It is a little bit of a walk to the old city of Heidelberg a little over a mile but if you walk along the river it is nice. Their is not parking so you will need to park in the parking garage which is about a 10 minute walk. Overall this hotel was a very nice stay.

Clean and modern rooms, very friendly staff, good breakfast. The location is golden with several bars and restaurants nearby, a short walk to Philosopher's Walk and across the bridge to the Old Town. Saturday market right in front of the door.

Great recently-renovated small hotel
Quiet, clean and comfortable, in a very nice old part of town across the river from the university. I am told there is a market on Saturday and Wednesday in the square that the rooms face, so I would expect some early morning noise as that gets set up. Breakfast was excellent, and less than €10.

The hotel was lovely. Our room had a gorgeous view over a lovely open platz (though the bar was a little lively late into a Wednesday night with windows open). The rooms were extremely comfortable, the morning buffet was lovely, and the staff were warm and attentive. The location was easily walkable to old town and the castle for those who don't have issues walking on tour. We also enjoyed a drink in the platz outside the restaurant while there. It's an affordable, lovely place to stay. Thank you Rafaela!
