This hotel was perfectly located between the castle and the bridge, on the Marktplatz. The staff was wonderful, helping us to find the parking garages and restaurants. We would stay there again. Beautiful city!

Lori

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The location was great, except it was on the corner of a busy restaurant and bar area, loud music and people all night, so not much sleep. The room was clean, except for a lot of stains on the carpeting. They need to start the breakfast earlier, most places start at 6:30 or 7:00. This place not until 8:00, we had an early flight so we missed out on breakfast. The Korean restaurant next door was good.

Old World Charm-For Better or Worse

Hotel Am Rathaus has old European charm which is to say small rooms, no elevators but great staff and breakfast. It was very noisy at night since Heidelberg is a university town and they like to party. Pretty much right outside the window. Parking is a quarter mile away and you have to drag luggage from there or nearest street access a block away. That would be over cobblestone too. The facility itself is charming and you can imagine Mark Twain staying there 150 years ago. Maybe during summer break.

I gave this hotel an average rating based on the location of the hotel and the wonderful staff members. We had a problem with our heat and someone addressed this immediately. The biggest down side is that there is no elevator. Thank heaven I had two strong able bodied children that could haul large bags up winding steps. They were not to happy. Please be prepared. A lot of things were outdated or could used to be fixed. These were small items and we were there only one night.

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.

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.
