We arrived before our room was ready, but the staff were really welcoming and allowed us to leave our bags in reception. When we returned, the bags had been taken up to the room for us, which was a nice touch.
The hotel had some really interesting artwork displayed on the stairwells and in the corridors to the rooms.
It was a little further out than we expected.
The rooms were quite basic, but were very clean and had everything that we needed for our stay.
The only disappointment was not having a kettle in the room.

Family owned and run. Always take care at breakfast and to inform you of the area. WiFi is great. Restaurant by the property is good value. Streets around the hotel are quiet and by a church and school. About 1/2 a mile from old town and great walk over the bridge to the steep Philosophers Walk.

Excellent location and friendly staff. The hotel has a pub restaurant with lovely local food at competitive prices so locals reserved tables. You should be able to get a table but it’s better to reserve a table if you like to enjoy the food over the weekend.
The rooms are modest but clean. The bathroom are in good in condition.
I would definitely stay again and I recommend this hotel for people who would like a taste of Heidelberg and are on a budget.
The staff was really helpful and accommodating

Beautiful clean house with a location near the railway station. The tram was nearby and there was a good restaurant downstairs. The neighbourhood was quiet. The old town is around 2.5 km away. It was a hot day but they provided a fan so it was very comfortable. One has to carry the baggage one floor but that was fine for me. Definitely will come back again.

The rooms was basic but good size. Gold wifi. The brekfast was simple but tasty. No possibility to have an espresso.
Tiny bathroom. No aircon, the room was quite warm (in April). No lift.

This is a shining example of all that is good about German hospitality and family-style comfort. Generous rooms, wonderful breakfast, family-owned and operated. Full disclosure: I am Austrian so I am naturally at home with this type of small-scale hotel. Everything there feels "genuine", nothing like out the typical catalogue for hotel equipment like so many anonymous much bigger places, even if they sport more stars in their official categorization. But if you want to experience how it is to travel and "be" in Germany, than this is a place to go. Think of visiting a Ryokan in Japan.

Even though we were given a free ticket for use to get free parking, there was only street parking and we were lucky to get a spot. But the location was ideal for what we needed. Wish there had been an elevator to get to our room, but manager helped carry our luggage.

Excellent location to visit the city center. You can park your car in the neighborhood with a ticket that you can get at the reception (for additional cost of course). If you do not look for businesshotel but for family owned traditional hotel, this is a nice choice.
Everything OK.

A wonderful small family-run hotel between the train station and the old town of Heidelberg. Everything can be reached on foot. The room was very comfy, the breakfast very yummy, and the staff super friendly. There is also a restaurant downstairs, with excellent food.
All good!

8.0 / 10.0
Friendly and helpful staff.
Our room was in the first floor and was pretty spacious. The room was really clean. We had a double bed (actually two single beds side by side) and a sofa.
We also had the option to have a parking spot (at extra cost) in a nearby location. Considering the various regulations for the parking in German cities, this was really convenient and would recommended it if you are not familiar with the local regulations etc.
The neighborhood is really quite and you can totally relax.
There is no elevator (for the first floor at least), so if you have heavy luggage, this will be a small problem (we knew it and we were ok with this)
The breakfast (at extra cost) was not that satisfying. If it was included in the price I would be ok, but at extra cost would prefer the local cafés nearby, which would cost the same or less.
There was no AC in the room, however there was a fan.
The hotel was built in 1898, so it is a historic and beautiful building. However I would consider that a renovation would be more than welcome in the interior and the furniture, considering the price for the rooms.

location was quiet and only 2 blocks from public transport and 2 stops away from main train station. I like the family history of the place and the restaurant had awesome food for a reasonable price.
No AC but room did have an oscillating fan in it.

Staff was very nice
The room heated up terribly, so I deliberately closed the windows and heavy curtains since it was forecast to get hot during the day before heading out - returned to find the windows wide open and the room baking and smelling of smoke from the pub/restaurant guests below. The 'unlimited' wifi was so terrible that I ended up sitting on the stairs on the first floor to get some work done.
The breakfast was okay at best, with pretty thin coffee.
The room was noisy, not just because of the pub below from which noise and the smell of cigarettes wafted up, but also because the walls were so thin that you hear everything from the neighbours' television to the neighbours' shower/toilet. The bathroom had a slight but unpleasant smell.

Our flight was delayed and the receptionist waited for us close to one hour after 11.00 pm. Staff was friendly overall. The location of the hotel is good, close to the old town.
The furniture is a bit dated. Noise isolation wasn't great and at night the street outside was quite noisy.
6.0 / 10.0
Staff on check in and out very friendly. No problem with parking a motorcycle on the street. Was a comfortable room and clean. Was quiet and peaceful.
No tea and coffee facility or air conditioning. Felt a bit 1980s - a bit tired and dated and in need of a renovation and some energy. Felt a bit expensive for what we got.

The hotel is in a quiet residential area. The room itself was large and spotlessly clean and the beds were very comfortable. The room was very simply decorated and the whole hotel I think reflects that it is an older (4th generation) family run hotel. I don't tend to spend much time in my hotel when on holiday so or me, the family feeling was a pleasant change from a chain hotel and gave everything I needed. The location is good for anyone coming by train but is a good 30+ minutes walk away from the Altstadt which is where most Heidelberg visitors will want to spend a lot of their time. But it is very close to bus and tram stops and the Heidelberg public transport network is superb so you can easily get to the Altstadt in 15-20 mins.
Some would say the decor in the rooms is a little sparse and basic but really my only minor observation is that the hotel has no lift and so is not very accessible for those with mobility problems. It's an old early 1900s building and there is no easy way to have added one. But that may rule the hotel out for some potential guests.

Fantastic and friendly staff and terrific breakfast well worth €6.50. I asked for and was immediately offered an electric kettle and eating utensils to take back to my room. Good location near the city center and several grocery stores. Very clean.
The room was small and very basic with carpet and furniture well past their prime. The friendly staff and great breakfast make up for a lot of this.

The hotel is very basic, the room was spacious and no noise within the surroundings.

Breakfast was very good, so were the location and the room.
There was a strong smell of smoke (cigarrettes) in the hallway and in the staircase/corridors. Also, there wasn't really a common area where the guests could relax. So basically we had to either stay in the room or go out.
