Big bedroom, small kitchen, nice bathroom with shower, separate bathtub, 2 sinks! Just be prepared to walk up little stairs to the 5th floor, which was a bit hard with luggage but fine after that. And there is an underground parking structure about 2 blocks away if you bring a car or public transportation bus stops right in front of apartment."

Top Heidelberg City Centre Hotel Reviews

Goldener Falke

10/10 Excellent

"Location, history,"

PLAZA Premium Heidelberg

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excellent experience at this hotel! From the moment we arrived, everything was welcoming, comfortable, and enjoyable. The accommodations were clean and well-maintained, and the staff was friendly, professional, and attentive. It was clear that guest satisfaction was a priority. The only minor hiccup during our stay was a billing issue. However, once we brought it to the staff’s attention, it was handled professionally and resolved to our satisfaction. We truly appreciated their willingness to make things right. Overall, this was a wonderful stay, and the small billing issue certainly wouldn't keep us from returning. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to others!"

Hotel & Restaurant Hackteufel

8/10 Good

"Great location in old town part of city. They posted that there is parking, but the parking area is several blocks away and not free. The hotel is located in a area where you can not drive to and we had to walk from a parking garage to the hotel. The hotel gave us a discount on the overnight parking fee, but the cost was 15.00 Euro after discount."

City Partner Hotel Holländer Hof

10/10 Excellent

"This is a hotel square in the middle of the action in the University. Easy walk to everything including bars, restaurants and the castle. It is an old hotel, so your room will be very basic and in my case the bed fairly small. It's the hotel your grandparents would have stayed in. I don't know if it has air conditioning as it was not relevant when I visited, but that may be a factor for you. The staff is first class."
