Great breakfast variety in a very nice breakfast room. Hotel was in a great location, walkable to everything, close to the river and castle. Our room was a little noisy as it faced the street, but didn’t keep me awake.

This is a great location with friendly staff in the old town. It s in old town so it is an older building but the room was spacious and clean. Heidelberg is also a unversity town so expect to hear the students socializing in the later evening. We felt very safe when we were out.

A gem in the old town of Heidelberg

We loved our stay at the Hotel am Rathaus. The hotel is located right in the old city center, in the perfect location to explore the beautiful town. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. We arrived before check-in, and we were able to store our suitcase while we went exploring the city. Good German breakfast in the morning. I wish I could have stayed longer. Will return!
