Pros:

L'emplacement idéal pour qui veut découvrir la ville!

Cons:

J'avais demandé une chambre calme. Elle donnait sur une rue piétonne animée en journée et très tôt le matin (ramassage des poubelles, livraisons...). L'accueil n'était pas des plus souriants. Le réceptionniste m'assurait que seule la taxe de séjour avait été payée et que nous devions nous acquitter du montant de la chambre. Il a bien fallu 15 à 20 minutes pour qu'il s'assure du contraire!

Perfecte ligging, maar teleurstellende service en faciliteiten.
Cons:

De ligging van het hotel is perfect: alles is op loopafstand te bereiken. Helaas valt het hotel zelf tegen.

Er is geen lift en de receptie is grotendeels gesloten. Er is vaak geen personeel aanwezig en de self-check-in werkte niet. Ook ontbreekt een telefoon op de kamer om contact op te nemen met de receptie. De medewerkers kwamen op mij weinig gastvrij over.

Voor het hotel staan bovendien enorm veel stoelen, waardoor de entree meer op een open caféterras lijkt dan op de ingang van een hotel.

Als je alleen een plek zoekt om te overnachten, volstaat het wellicht, maar verwacht weinig van de service en faciliteiten. De centrale ligging is het grootste pluspunt.

Good hotel in Heidelberg
Pros:

Comfortable room near the Alte Bruecke! Easy walk to the Altstadt,

Cons:

Hard to find and drive to in Altstadt. Staff was confused when I arrived because their system was down and could not find my reservations, Had to check in at the coffee shop. Parking is five or six blocks away in a city Parkhaus. Stairs - no elevator. Very tiny bath, but functional! Never saw hotel staff- all business was completed with the baristas in the coffee shop.

Enjoyed it but the staff need to be more visible.
Pros:

Location excellent. Room large and comfortable, and well-equipped.

Cons:

Generally half-arsed approach. Self check-in irritating-why can't you just email a room code? Never saw any member of staff. Hard to find, the Goldener Hecht name should be more prominent. Kettle provided but no coffee/milk.

Good accommodation in a lovely town.
Pros:

Our room was comfortable with a wonderful view.

Cons:

We were booked in by email, everything is on line. Fortunately we met two ladies, member of staff who helped us - they were very good but there is no-one on reception etc so it is very impersonal.
Breakfast is not included but there were good cafes nearby.
