We did not stay at this hotel, but we had dinner there twice. The service is excellent and the staff very friendly. The chef cooks pretty well without too much fuss. The small courtyard where dinner is served is a quiet space that allows you to disconnect from the crowded main street. Recommended.

What a delightful surprise. This little place brings you to the heart of old town Heidelberg. Shops, restaurants, the river and all the wonders of Heidelberg are right here. The rooms are well appointed, comfortable, and clean. Staff is wonderful. Breakfast is simple but a lot to sample with made to order eggs, fresh bread, cheeses, meats, fruit, yogurt, coffee and several teas.

Stayed at this hotel in Heidelberg this last weekend and had a wonderful experience! Check in was seamless, room was comfortable, spacious, and clean. Breakfast was great too and all of the employees were kind, accommodating and helpful. To top it off the location cannot be beat!

This was an unfriendly experience. It’s in a central location and hard to find parking - they told me there was a place and when I arrived there wasn’t. At breakfast we were told we couldn’t have another coffee as it was 10.55 with an 11 am cut off

When we arrived in our brand new car and unable to find a suitable parking place the recetionist on duty created one in the court yard. Breakfast and service are very good. The location can't be better...right on Hauptstrasse in the middle of the Alt Stadt, five minutes from everywhere. Why the room got 4 and not 5* is because the bed was to soft to our liking. After being out all day we came back in a very clean room, thank you housekeeping.Don't forget to use their restaurant, the food is out of this world.Thank you for a wonderful stay❣️

Great little hotel in a perfect spot for walking around Heidelberg. Rooms are on the small side and basic but really have everything you need when you are in town to see the town. The rooms were very clean with comfortable beds, good AC, and a modern bathroom. Plus there is a great breakfast! We will stay here again if we are fortunate enough to be back some day.

This was a very reasonably priced guesthouse. Everything is sparkling clean and very minimalist. We had a budget room without a view to the outside. It was completely fine, particularly when considering the cost.  …

It was exactly what we needed: spotless room with good airco right in the city center. Staff very friendly and good breakfast. Room for sleeping only. Parking 16 euro per night, about 400 meter walk. Recommended for short Stay, couples or families with older children.

We spent two nights there recently. It's extremely clean and everything works well. The breakfast is excellent and worth lingering over. The location is perfect, in the heart of the old town.  …

I can't appreciate a hotel that costs ~€100 and has mold on the walls. We only stayed one night and the room has no trivial water or wine glasses and no refrigerator. Reception didn't work after mid afternoon and we couldn't do anything about it. Very uncomfortable mattresses and a bed with a hole in the middle.
