Excellent location in the old town just a few minutes walk to Hauptstraße and river, but still quiet. Friendly helpful staff. Our train was late but the hotel was flexible with check-in. Hotel fulfilled our prior request for a quiet room on ground floor. Two key cards provided. Room was spacious (but it was the disability room). Excellent air-conditioning, which was great during a heatwave. Comfortable bed and good shower and wifi. Working safe in room. Good German breakfast buffet. Lots to see in Heidelberg and nearby. Would stay again.
Our stay here was one of our best experiences on this trip. We were very lucky with our room. The only drawback was the lack of a fridge to cool drinks, noting it was very hot. That said, I saw on our last day that reception had cold drinks for sale, and there were plenty of shops handy. Ubers seemed to have difficulty getting to the hotel but pick-up points were not far away.

It was very hot in the room. It was 90(F) and too hot to sleep. My room is #33. Three windows are facing west. The AC is too small to cool down the room. Talked to the hotel manager and showed him the temperature 88(F). He said it was normal temperature to all rooms.
Room is too hot to sleep. The elevator can’t get up to my room. I have to carry my heavy suitcase for ten steps.

Really excellent traditional hotel for quiet, amenities and comfort. Fantastic location for river and Altstadt - 1 min walk to longest pedestrian street in Germany filled with history. Friendly and super helpful staff. Food choice great both for breakfast and high quality German dining in the evening. Well worth getting the Heidelberg Card for travel.,museums and Castle.

A very pleasant, intimate hotel in an old building by the University square and the main pedestrian street.
Unfortunately, no minibar/small refrigerator at least in my room, perhaps other too.

It was a very comfortable stay and we liked the location.
The parking was a bit of a hassle. Had to park in a parking structure and not on the hotel grounds.

The room was fairly large and very clean. Perfect location to visit the sites of Heidelberg. The staff were very helpful pointing out places to visit. I would definitely recommend the hotel and will stay here again when we next visit. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. We also ate in the restaurant and the food was amazing, highly recommended.
Nothing, it was perfect

Hotel & Gasthaus Backmulde is ideally located within the old part of Heidelberg, offering a good base to set out from and explore the city. The hotel offers a continental buffet breakfast, which is freshly laid out each morning. The free WiFi worked in and out of our room (even in the small courtyard).
The room we stayed in was very clean with many modern facilities (bathroom - shower, hairdryer, mirror etc. bedroom - open hanging closet, open shelving for more storage with a safe, comfortable beds, sideboard and TV; the TV has many channels (including radio), but only 1 (BBC World News) English speaking).
There is a lift for those not wanting to use the stairs. Located in Reception, there is a small vending machine which contains some refreshments at reasonable prices.
Hauptstrasse, the main street in the old City is subject to Low Emission Zone and therefore becomes pedestrianised between 11:00 am and 05:00 am (my understanding), so motorised vehicles are not allowed, but there are many car parks outside of the zone, if you need to park. Do be aware of the plethora of bicycles. Many of the streets are flat cobbles with inlaid walking areas but they are used by pedestrians, bicycles and vehicles alike!
The room did not have tea/coffee making facilities, a fridge or air conditioning (although a fan was left in our room but to be honest we didn't need to use it). It was a little noisy early in the morning when the rubbish was being collected.
As a result of LEZ many of the shops (with a few exceptions of mainly food shops) do not open until between 10:00 am and 11:00 am albeit deliveries and rubbish collection do take place before 11:00, and many close at 17:00 pm! Therefore, with our timing (we were out and about elsewhere) we never saw some shops open at all!
I would urge anyone booking this hotel to look at the last check-in time (19:00 hrs local time), unfortunately I didn’t, as this hotel is not typical insofar as it is not staffed full time. The reception and doors to the hotel shut at 19:00 hrs and after this time, there is no staff about.
We arrived after 19:00, and had a problem! The entrance door was locked but a sign pointed us to the restaurant to book in. However, being a Monday, the restaurant was completely closed! We tried to call the telephone number listed on our paper work but to no avail. Fortunately for us, just as we were about to give up, a guest came back to the hotel and following a discussion, let us up into the reception where fortunately there was an envelope with our name on it, and keys to our room enclosed. So, a request to the owner, perhaps if the hotel could email out instructions and a one-off code (which could be entered in to the card reader), it would cover all bases and alleviate the stress and horror we underwent.
