Hotel zum Ritter St Georg - Oldest Residential Building in Heidelberg since 1592

Historic charm and central location. Our room was large and overlooking the square. Good breakfast

Being central it was noisy at night, but was our choice of location and is not a criticism of the hotel

Lovely historic building with bags of charm, great location

Uncomfortable bed and no proper coffee making facilities in room

Location, proximity to old town, the river, the castle, restaurant choices.

Distance from the train station. Best to take public transportation instead of walking to hotel.

The building itself is beautiful, but we were contacted a week or so ahead of our booking to advise us that we could not be accommodated in the hotel but instead we would be placed at Palmbrau apartments a few meters away. No real reason was given for the change in accommodation, but as we were only staying for a single night we accepted the change. At check-in, I asked the staff member at the counter what the reason was and he was unable to explain why, instead deflecting the question and changing the subject - it made me wonder what he was hiding. The hotel itself had guests staying in it so it was fully operational while we were in town. Palmbrau serviced apartment itself was nice and comfortable; However, I couldn’t help feeling disappointed as we had intentionally booked Hotel Zum Ritter for the experience. Important to note - the streets outside Palmbrau apartments were noisy until 2am so I don’t recommend staying there on a weekend if you’re hoping to get any sleep! Finally, we had breakfast at Hotel Zum Ritter and it was definitely overpriced and lacking for a very basic selection of food - I do not recommend booking with breakfast.
