Perfectly situated next to the Old Bridge and easy walking into Altstadt. The room was roomy, with a loft, and comfortable chairs for sitting rather than on the bed! Lovely!

This hotel is a hidden gem located at the old bridge and gate. Great location making it easy to walk both sides of the river and access to the castle and all the charm of old tiwn Heidelberg. At night cross the bridge to the right to get stunning pictures of the bridge, city, and castle lite up.
