Erwartungen wurden erfüllt
Pros:

Lage o.k. Hotel liegt auf halben Weg zwischen Bahnhof und Altstadt. Dem Hotel ist eine Kneipe angeschlossen. Gut für einen Absacker! Lärmbelästigung möglich, habe ich aber nicht wahrgenommen. Positiv: Check-in ab 14.00h möglich. Zimmer nichts besonderes, sauber. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis für Heidelberg in Ordnung.

Cons:

Hotel etwas in die Jahre gekommen und ohne besonderes Flair.

Wohlfühlhotel mit fast persönlicher Betreuung
Pros:

Die Bewirtung, sowohl Rezeption, als auch Frühstück war super.
Es ist eine ruhige Lage. Schlafen mit offenem Fenster geht hervorragend.

Das Hotel hat meine Erwartungen übertroffen - eine hervorragende Lage und sehr nettes Personal.
Pros:

Die Lage war zentral und dennoch sehr ruhig. Im angegliederten Restaurant kann man gut und günstig essen. Ich bekam beim Einchecken ganz hervorragende Tipps für einen Stadtspaziergang.

Cons:

Alles war perfekt

Agréablement surpris par notre séjour
Pros:

Hotel familial localisé en plein quartier résidentiel calme, proximité avec le centre ville à 15min à pied.
L'ensemble du personnel de l'hôtel est très souriant et serviable.
Chambre spacieuse, avec ventilateur.
De plus, nous avons été au restaurant de l'hotel, très agréablement surpris par une très bonne cuisine de saison, nous avons mangé bien mieux que dans un restaurant touristique du centre.
Si un jour je repasse à Heidelberg, ce sera au krokodil hotel.

Cons:

RAS
