Emma (?) at the bar made moving 90kgs of baggage up and down those stairs worth it. Great location, cool atmosphere, awesome staff. Upper floors are ideal for light travellers.

Handy property conveniently located to old town. Room and shared bathroom were clean. It is just a room as there is no service from the bar staff downstairs or common areas to sit. Beware there are many flights of steep stairs.

Very acceptable hostel

Great if you want a 'vibe' - the bar downstairs was crammed and jolly. All rooms involve climbing at least two flights of steep stairs (think Netherlands). Comfy clean room (with TV!, but not washbasin). Sometimes had to wait for shared toilet/shower room. Picturesquely situated by the river and not far from pretty Altstadt. Quite a trek from the station.

I had booked only one night for Heidelberg, as part of a longer stay in Germany. I decided not to check into the hostel until after 4:30 PM that day. I brought my luggage and had to take it up two flights of stairs. I was aware that there was no elevator. I also did not have a private bathroom, so I had to wait my turn to use it. The bathroom was clean. As I did not go anywhere from 5 PM to about 7 AM, I can't really say anything about after hours reentry. Checkout was simple, just drop the keys in a small box and then just leave the property. I wish I had booked a longer stay, so that I could explore Heidelberg a bit more.

Liked: Cleanliness
Die Einrichtung des Zimmers war sehr ansprechend. Ein hoher, heller Raum mit schöner, farblich frischer Ausstattung und schönem Blick auf Kastanienbäume und auf den Neckar. Störend war, dass man den Raum nicht abdunkeln kann und es morgens früh hell wurde. Das Gemeinschaftsbad ist ziemlich klein aber sauber und ordentlich. Praktisch ist, dass man zu Fuß schnell in der schönen Altsttadt ist und am Neckar.

The hotel is close to the main shopping area and just a short walk from other bars and restaurants, The hotel has a bar-restaurant on the ground floor, it has no lift, this is to be expected in an old building but I was on the 4th floor and caring my suit case all the way up the stairs left me out of breath, it has a shared bathroom but it was only shared between my room and 2 others, I never had any issues and it was very clean, the room included a kettle and a tv with english tv channels, the only down side is the hotel does not do breakfast, despite this the price was very cheap, I will stay here again

Schoon maar luidruchtig

De netheid was ruim voldoende echter bij iedere stap kraakte de vloer behoorlijk en dat gold ook voor de buren die midden in de nacht thuis kwamen en niet echt meteen gingen slapen

Die Lage ist toll, man ist mittendrin. Das Bad mussten wir mit einem 2. fremden Zimmer teilen und im 3. Stock war es sehr warm, da half auch der Ventilator wenig, den wir die ganze Nacht durchlaufen lassen mussten.
