In the heart of the city. Wonderful staff. Lovely breakfast. Facility is NOT handicap-accessible. It is within a two-minute walk of the Bergbahn to the castle and Bus 20 stop to/from the train station. American travelers be advised this is a fine place to stay if you are open to a comfortable, clean place to stay a night ot two.

Right in the center of Old Town, Heidelberg. Within walking distance to the funicular to the castle. Night time the old town restaurants come alive. Architectural marvels everywhere in old town. Would definitely go back.

My partner stayed on the top floor and had a beautiful, romantic view of the mountain and rooftops. From check in to check out the hotel front desk hosts were helpful and hospitable, the location could not be beat as were right around the corner from the square. The nights were quiet, but mornings were noisy with the sound of barn swallows warbling :)-we found it to be a lovely way to wake up. The breakfast was substantial, well thought out, and tasty. We will definitely be back if we can!

On vacation and have stayed in 9 hotels throughout Europe. 6th floor up a tight spiral staircase. The place is old so of course no elevator . Crazy uneven floor with one bed that was way too low. Very nice helpful staff though and a good öbreakfast. Good location and historic so there’s bound to be glitches.

This is a "no--frills" but perfectly good hotel, situated very convenient for the Old Town and with a very good nearby bus service to/from the station. It could on occasion be a bit noisy outside, but the double glazing was effective at keeping that to a subdued level. It's one problem is that for a a four-storey building it doesn't have a lift! But the very friendly and helpful staff were willing to help getting luggage up and down. There was plenty of choice with unlimited quantities for breakfast. We'd certainly stay again.

This hotel is perfectly located for the Christmas market. This town is fantastic. The staff was unbelievably nice and very helpful. A couple of notes - 1 there is no elevator so be prepared to climb the steps with your bags. 2 - parking is not onsite. 3 - it is not easy to find this hotel due to very narrow roads and pedestrians. HOWEVER, once you are settled this place is awesome!

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!

We fell in love with this place. The staff was so accommodating, friendly, joyful! The location is perfect to access the castle, shops and restaurants. Highly recommend it! We arrived too early to check in. The staff let us leave our luggage with them behind the desk.
