It was a weekend stay. We were the only ones who stayed in the entire hotel and could hear people (possibly from the hotel next door and outside).🛏 The pillows are second blankets (flat) so if you can, bring your extra pillow!🤵‍♂The service was great 👍🏽 friendly.🛍The location is ideal, you are dead center of shopping and history of course.🏰Would not recommend walking to the Castle, it is a long walk, we decided to drive.🅿️ parking garage is near by!

If you want a nice room, bang in the middle of the City, a splendid breakfast and cheerful, helpful staff, this is the place for you. …

Very good, central and quiet location. Very good, clean and spacious rooms with friendly staff. Good breakfast options too. But on the down side they don't have a facility to keep luggage for a few hours. On the day of your departure you have to lug it every where you go, or take a trip to the main station and rent a locker.

A decent hotel in a great location. I enjoyed being located in the Altstadt, while still being close enough to Bismarckplatz to make transportation to other parts of the city efficient. The room was fine and not too loud. …

We broke our criteria for Heidelberg that all hotels must be within walking distance of the railway station. But to visit Heidelberg you must be in the old town hence a 10 Euro ride in a taxi to our destination. …

The Altstadt Hotel is a little jewel hidden away in narrow street in old Heidelberg, Germany. Although it is marked as a *** hotel, in my opinion it rates a much higher value!The Altstadt has what are described as modest rooms - 14, I believe, on 4 floors - but there is so much comfort and simple elegance behind their understated presentation. In fact my room number 45 is really a tiny apartment suite with 3 areas.First, there is a sleeping section with a heavenly memory foam bed with down filled comforter and oversized pillow to give you the best sleep ever - along with a second bed that can be made for companion guests, and a small desk with lamp and TV. Adjacent, as you enter the suite, is a quaint lounge with a stylish couch, table and coat rack and a quaint dormer overlooking a private courtyard and Heidelberg's towering green hills - the same view as from the sleeping area. Of course, the final area is the private bath with all the amenities needed - bright white and shiny clean.You might miss the Altstadt on arrival because it is also very understated in its street presentation with a tiny sign, but beautiful heritage door. You are greeted by a very gracious and friendly concierge to help you with your stay. There is a rather nice breakfast only room to the right on the ground floor that serves an extensive buffet of the finest European elements - the coffee is so good!Be prepared to climb the beautiful old winding stairway to access your room - going back down is the best part, though, because it is the start of an incredible journey out into the cobblestone pathway, past a shop bursting with seasonal fresh smelling flowers and entering a fascinating mostly walking only network of shops, cafe's, historic buildings and people like yourselves.Keep alert for bicycles - thousands of them - they are everywhere - with their own designated pathways - it's so progressive!You couldn't find a better location for your stay in Heidelberg than the Altstadt - the center of transportation by bicycle, bus and tram, and a short walk to the Neckar River with its old bridges, racing skullers, lush green river parks - all consumed by vibrant, eager young students and older custodians of a remarkable Germanic culture.I have never experienced any place as beautiful and progressive as Heidelberg - as experienced from my lovely, but sadly temporary, home at the Altstadt Hotel.

Stayed at the Hollanderhof for 4 nights to attend the German Grand Prix. Lovely hotel, perfect location. The river and old bridge in front of you and right in the stunning old town. …
