Heidelberg Suites is a boutique hotel on the site of a splendid villa with a private spa, which was originally built at the turn of the 20th century. The suites have been meticulously restored and stylishly designed by an internationally renowned architect and designer.

It’s a beautiful property with clean, comfortable rooms. We had a view over the river which was also very nice. The breakfasts were great, with a continental as well as a variety of cooked egg breakfasts available. The staff were very friendly & helpful with making reservations, enquiries about public transport & arranging sauna sessions. The sauna & jacuzzi were clean and easily accessible.

Featuring an in-house brewery, this traditional building is situated at the foot of Heidelberg Castle in Heidelberg’s Old Town district. Heidelberg-Altstadt Train Station is just a 5-minute walk away.

Rooms are located either in the main building of the Kulturbrauerei Heidelberg or else in the adjoining annex, Wirthaus zum Seppl. Rooms feature wooden floors and come with a TV. A hairdryer is provided in the en suite bathroom and some rooms offer views of the castle.

The hotel was cozy, no issues with the comfort. Somewhat difficult to find, but once you notice the knight statue it becomes routine. The beds were a good size, the bathrooms were good, worth the money. The staff was very helpful and professional. Answered all questions quickly. Went out of their way to find a taxi for me and my wife on a Sunday morning, which, was very difficult to do. The cleaning staff were also very professional. Great location. It has spectacular sights. Easy to explore. Centrally located. Cant say enough how this hotel helped in enabling me and my wife got to experience the best of Heidleberg. You walk out and the castle, river, and church are all there.

    Great hotel - newly refurbished and very stylishly decorated in contemporary style, much better than the photos. Very comfy bed, lovely bathroom (German plumbing is the best) and the staff were fantastic! The location was amazing, set up high on a mountain overlooking the stunning town of Heidelberg but with the advantage of a funicular to get you down into the town. The hotel is normally a high price point but we got a great deal on Booking.com partly thanks to my Genius discount.
