Abysmal.
Pros:

There was a supermarket and a kebab shop nearby.

Cons:

We were told to park our car in the parking lot of the next door supermarket which has a sign that states max parking is 2 hours, so we felt nervous leaving our car there overnight.
The hotel is next to a church, which rings it's bell every 15 minutes, from 6 am to 10 pm which was extremely disruptive waking us up with not enough sleep. As it is also next to a grocery store, there were noises from trucks and I unloading of supplies in the morning from around 6 or 7.
The hallways and stairways were all very narrow and hard to get our suitcases through. There was also no elevators, so it is very inaccessible for the physically impaired.
The doors were very thin and you could hear other guests talking and moving around. They are locked with a traditional key, but there is no double lock, which led to them feeling unsecure.
The room had little to no facilities or amenities, except a badly mounted television and two small bars of soap with no shampoo provided.
The pillows felt very old, being lumpy and unhygienic feeling and the spring mattress was dirty and extremely uncomfortable, which meant we had next to no sleep.
The curtains might as well have not existed with how little light they blocked.
As for the bathroom, the sink pipe was very stiff and the water came out of the tap at a wonky angle. The shower was disgusting with mold and rust. The handle of it was a clear plastic sleeve with a dirty water filter inside, which clearly hasn't been changed in a very long time. It was brown and disgusting (see the image attached). The shower head also only mostly worked in one position and trying to adjust the mode just led to it leaking the water out at the sides. Because of this, we didn't take a shower that night.
Lastly, the staff were nice, but they spoke little to no English, making communication quite difficult.

Pros:

Sehr gute Lage, schöne Natur in der Umgebung und das Schloss in Heidelberg ist schnell erreichbar. Das Frühstück für 9 € war wunderbar und es war alles da. Ich war schon in vielen Hotels, aber hier habe ich mich besonders wohl gefühlt.

Vorsicht, Finger weg!
Pros:

Lage ok, pragmatischer Check-in (es war niemand da, man konnte sich einfach den Schlüssel wegnehmen).

Cons:

Nur kaltes Wasser am Waschbecken, zudem nur tröpfelnd, da total verkalkt. Aus der Dusche kam ebenfalls kaum Wasser, da sicherlich seit mindestens einem Jahrzehnt der Duschkopf nicht mehr gewechselt wurde und entsprechend verstopft ist. Die Ausstattung (Vorhänge, Möbel, etc.) erinnern sehr an die 70er Jahre und sind seitdem vermutlich nicht mehr instand gesetzt worden. Unfassbar weiche & durchgelegene Betten. Dafür kam schon kurz vor 9 die Reinigungskraft ungefragt ins Zimmer - während wir noch drin waren (Check-Out um 10:00 Uhr). Außerdem nur Barzahlung möglich - vermutlich besser so für's Finanzamt. Dafür war es nicht mal günstig (15-20 Euro/Nacht wären angemessen gewesen).
Ich bin schon in sehr vielen Hotels gewesen in meinem Leben, das hier ist schon eine ziemliche Zumutung. Sucht euch lieber etwas anderes!
