Top Heidelberg Hotel Reviews

NH Collection Heidelberg

NH Collection Heidelberg

10/10 Excellent
"The staff were wonderful, the room has a fridge, a/c, coffee machine - perfect. If you drive there, it requires no turns to get there from the autobahn, the entrance is wide open to get off the street and the parking is underground, at a reasonable rate. It is an easy walk to the local tram station for city wide travel. For walking to the shopping/dining district, also requires no turns, just a straight line easy walk. We will stay here again for sure."

"This hotel was in an excellent location for our visit to Heidelberg - a bus stop right across the road. It was clean, comfortable, quiet and nicely decorated (we appreciated having two chairs in the room). Convenient undergroung parking. The desk staff were friendly and helpful. We got here in time for Happy Hour so had a plesant drink on the outdoor terrace. Then had a delicious dinner at a nearby restaiurant."

"The hotel was nice and in a great location. There was no air conditioning, but the large windows in our corner room provided great ventilation. The shower had great water pressure. We loved the location, with trams nearby and downtown within walking distance. The staff was friendly and helped carry our bags upstairs when the elevator was broken. We really enjoyed our stay in Heidelberg, which was definitely a highlight of our trip."
