Hotels near Philosophers' Way, Heidelberg

Amazing location and such a warm place to stay, Cleanliness is clearly a top priority here! The location couldn’t be better: the old town and the castle are right outside the door, and you can even see Heidelberg Castle just by looking up. It’s about a ten-minute walk uphill to the castle and less than ten minutes to the bridge. There’s also a bus stop downstairs with a direct connection to the main train station. I truly love this place. It’s my first choice in Germany, and honestly, I would come back to Heidelberg just to stay here again.  The owner and staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, and everything is spotlessly clean. The guests are friendly, respectful and quiet, which makes it easy to meet people while still feeling relaxed. Every bed has its own power socket, there’s a female-only bathroom and shower, fresh bed linen, lockers, a spacious kitchen and a cozy common room. I especially loved the photo wall, the guest book and the world map with pins. Free coffee and milk , hair dryer available. The heating is great, the view outside the window is beautiful, and there’s even a small balcony garden. In the cold German winter, this place truly warmed my heart. It’s honestly my favorite hostel. I really hope to come back!

I have two rooms in December before Christmas and it was one of the most comfortable bed I had for the two weeks trip. Two nights here and my baby son loves their breakfast. It comes with hot food and cold cuts, cheese and on table side orders for eggs. I tried the shashouka but I don’t really like it because the cumin was too strong. I had lovely champagne for my breakfast and can’t complaint more. Coffee normal, tea selections are great! I would come back again to this chain hotel. The only bad things is the location is slight far from train station, we pulled 2 big luggages, 1 medium size luggage, 1 stroller all the way to the hotel and decided to call for taxi when we depart. Afterall good stay and safe and quiet neighbourhood.

The location is excellent. It's an 8-minute walk from the back of the train station after you get off. Public buses and trams are also convenient for getting to various places (pedestrian street, old castle, Neckar River, hospitals, university departments). The suite is spacious enough and has a small kitchen. Breakfast is 18 euros, and the restaurant is large with good food, coffee, and various teas. The hotel's courtyard/lawn is huge, and it's very pleasant to have a drink there in the evening. There's also a laundry room.

The whole hotel looks old, and the bathroom door in the room can't be closed. The air conditioning has problems—it's constantly cold, and there is no heating. However, the front desk staff and restaurant service personnel are relatively friendly. The breakfast selection is also quite rich. However, compared to four-star hotels in Taiwan, the facilities here seem outdated. Taiwan’s hotels are newer and cleaner, and the food selection is also more abundant.

Heidelberg is worth visiting, it is a very comfortable city. First of all, the hotel is very close to the highway exit. Although it is on the side, it is very convenient to go to the central square. Parking on the roadside is free. The front desk guy is very humorous and street free. Of course, if you want to be safe, you can also park in the parking lot next to it for 10 euros. Secondly, although the room is small, it has everything. The bathroom is still OK and not crowded. The family room for three people is enough and feels quite warm. Finally, Heidelberg is beautiful in the morning. Walking on the Philosopher's Trail and overlooking the entire old town of Heidelberg is still very impressive. In addition, Heidelberg Castle is also worth going up. Looking at the old town from here, you can take pictures of the red bricks and white walls on the postcard.

Overall we had a pleasant stay. The hotel is close to the train and bus station so good for those arriving after a long journey. It’s also not too far from the downtown area and has easy access to public transportation. The room was a little small but very comfortable. We didn’t have too many interactions with staff but we were fortunate that the check in desk was open when we arrived as they are only open a few hours a day and the self check in machine could not recognise my booking.

The room is large, but feels very old, and the bed is very comfortable! The front desk service is a bit basic. To park, you need to go to a nearby parking lot, which costs 17 euros for a whole day.

Location: across the street, ~5 mins from the hbf. Reception: allowed early check in; they don’t always have someone at the counter so just give them a call and they will open the door for you (met some other guests, really nice people who helped me make the call!) Lift: old and small but it works! Room: double bed = 2 single bed merge together. had some flies initially because they left the window open to air it, service staff helped to get the flies out. Toilet: small but manageable if you are petite, may not be suitable for big size people as the bathing area is small. Transport: took RNV20 to and fro to the furnicular (which led to other tourist areas), super convenient!

The location is quite good, right outside the train station. The front desk staff spoke decent English. However, the room facilities were a bit lacking, and the room size was small. The lobby was fine though, with a communal lounge table, and the overall lobby environment was pretty good.

The environment is good. Those who have not lived in the attic can try it.
