Booked one night at the Hotel Goldener Hecht in Heidelberg for the evening of the Heidelberg Castle Illumination.The price was absolutely appropriate for the location, the hotel and the occasion (€135).The location is perfect for a tour of Heidelberg (in the picture of the bridge it is the yellow house next to the right tower. Therefore directly at the scene of the event).There are no parking spaces at the house, the nearest public parking garage is about 300m away, the cost for 24 hours was €19.- (no discount from the hotel here).The hotel is suitable for overnight stays with dogs, tip here: Room #35 on the 3rd floor, because it faces the inner courtyard, is very quiet, and there is no through traffic in front of the room door.The room (Elisabeth #35) is nice, even with a couch for a third person to stay overnight, has a small balcony, refrigerator (minibar), TV, cupboard, table and chairs and a toilet bathroom with shower. A little old, but the charm and attention to detail are clearly visible.It is actually bright in the room as there are no shutters, a sleeping mask is recommended.Breakfast is possible in the room, on the balcony or in the breakfast room. If not booked, this should be communicated to reception by 5:30 p.m. the day before. It is absolutely sufficient for 2 people with 4 rolls, 2 croissants, 2 breads, jam, cheese and fruit.Service very nice, helpful and always approachable.Conclusion: A clear recommendation, everything was perfect and I would happily do it again.

I enjoyed my stay in Heidelberg. Hotel Goldener Hecht is a fantastic base to explore the city further. The room was small, but nice. Everything I needed was there. The minibar was stocked with a good range of drinks and a bar of chocolate. The breakfast was good, with lots of fruit to choose from. The people in the hotel were very nice. Highly recommended to stay here.

We were somewhat complicated guests when it came to the last booking and the way the staff helped us was remarkable. We have been coming here for years and say thank you for everything!

Perhaps the worst hotel stay ever. When they say the rooms are “bright,” they mean that the draperies are thin and gauzy and that the hotel is surrounded with bright lights. It’s nearly as light as day all night long, and the noise factor is prodigious, too. Almost impossible to sleep here. The staff are completely indifferent to that fact, as well.

Absolutely recommended. The only thing that was a bit annoying was that you can't darken the windows in the hotel room. The breakfast was great for the price.
