Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“I highly recommend this place. The rooms are big and clean. The location is great and you can take a tram to heidelberg. There are a lot of nice restaurants near the hotel. They also have a free parking. The staff is really friendly. I forgot my wallet at the nearby reastaurant when we left and a member of the staff went to the restaurant picked it up and sent it to me. They didn't even have to do that and I had already paid, but they still did. I'm so grateful.”
“The staff is so friendly and supportive. Location is near the tram station to Heidelberg, pubs, bakeries, taxi parking… A flaw was some strange loud noise in the night, which sounds like from some machine”
“We booked several rooms for a family gathering. Everyone was very much satisfied at all levels. The hotel is conveniently located in the city center and near the tram stop, from where one can get to Heidelberg within 15 mins.”
