Very nicely located, in the middle of the city at the foot of the old bridge. Wonderfully restored old building.

Great location, nice rooms in a winding, old building.TV with a decent size and enough programs.Staff reasonably friendly.Breakfast not great, but OK. (There are only mini-small rolls that look like they come from a supermarket bakery bag.)

Amazing! We booked through Expedia last minute. The hotel is right at the old bridge in Heidelberg. Our room, I was told by the cheerful owner, was very popular not only because it’s right under the roof allowing views 360 towards the castle the bridge and river but also because Queen Sylvia of Sweden stays in this very room when visiting Heidelberg twice a year.The rooms were gorgeous, the bathroom new and even the pillows were great.There is reduced parking at the structure right by the way up to the castle. There is a Bergbahn but you can also walk which we did.There is a beautiful inner courtyard with tables - it feels magical and so cozy. From there you reach the rooms, reception and the restaurant Nepomuk. Make a reservation! But there are many restaurants nearby.Thanks for a wonderful stay!

This hotel is just delightful. The location is convenient to all of the sights. The rooms are well appointed and the staff really helps you to feel right at home. The restaurant is fantastic - we didn't need to go anywhere else to enjoy the best food.

Simply great, very nice reception and great staff. The room is very large and individually furnished. The location of the hotel is very central and from here everything can be easily reached on foot. We had an excellent meal in the restaurant in the evening. All in all, highly recommended and always happy.

We had a bad experience with the lack of tact of the manager who greeted us when we arrived...we were 2 couples and he assigned an upgrade to one of them at will (not randomly or asking so that it was a shared decision) and he was rude when We told him that this assignment was not ramdom but capricious...hotel must improve guest service...
