It's a budget hotel that has what you need. It isn't fancy, but it's a good place to stay on a budget. You'll have a good walk to get to the castle.

This hotel was adequate for my needs. Fairly basic but excellent value for the cost, under £70 for 2 nights. Convenient for trams and buses and only 6 minutes walk from the central station.

I liked the hotel because of its location. It is in a very central area of the city and for a short trip, it is ideal place. Staff members were friendly and it is a clean place.

Nice hotel
Convenient location, nice staff, solid range of breakfast options. I wouldn’t say the hotel was “beautiful” but it was clean and it served our purpose.

If you're looking for a centrally located hotel with excellent service, Hotel Central Heidelberg is a solid choice. It's located within walking distance from Heidelberg HBF making it convenient, but it can get noisy and feel unsafe at night. While the noise and the slightly dated facilities might not appeal to everyone, the exceptional staff more than make up for these shortcomings.

Easily walkable from train station and about 30min walk to square. We arrived a couple hours early so room not ready and had to call to be let into building as no staff at front desk. Once in the staff was very friendly, spoke little English but we were able to communicate. We were able to store our bags, but they are just left out in open area. We were given our keys and told room would be ready later. When we returned after exploring, our bags were as we left them but no staff available. Our room was sufficient and clean. There is breakfast available to add on for 15€ per person.

Great location, but homeless with dogs in the park across the street created quite a bit of noise one night. We enjoyed the close proximity to the grocery store and restaurants. The hotel elevator is quite old and small so only a max of 3 people can ride in it at once, and if you have luggage with you, it’ll be VERY crowded. Property doesn’t have air conditioning and the top floor, where we were staying, was very hot. The breakfast was good - plenty of options.

No staff present at when we arrived or left. Hotel room was nice and clean but the heat was off when we arrived so it took a bit of time to warm it up. Parking was available nearby but not associated with the hotel the payment machines we all not accepting credit cards (broken somehow), only had 50 EUR bills which also weren’t accepted so it took a but of time to find a place that would provide change.

Elevator was broken,so you are carrying your luggage up long flights of stairs. There was a man in the lobby who was a bit to much.... asking questions about us in German,which I understand. Telling his daughter to just shrug her shoulders.Breakfast was lovely. Place is very worn down, thread bare, but safe. You are not allowed in without a key.
