Nicht guten Gewissens zu empfehlen
Pros:

Es war ein Hotel, die Heizung funktioniert. Die Lage in einer Marktseitenstrasse ist zentral. Verwunderlich, dass die Corona Pause offensichtlich nicht für zumindest Schönheits-Renovierungen genutzt wurde.

Cons:

Noch nie so ein schmutziges, abgewohntes Hotel Zimmer erlebt habe. Schimmel in Dusche, extrem unangenehm fleckige Auslegware im Zimmer -barfuß will man da nicht gehen- , generell schmutziges Zimmer, keine Garderobenbügel. Wände bräuchten Maler. Frühstück für den Preis eher armselig. Manche Jugendherberge bietet da besseres.

Pros:

God beliggenhed

Cons:

Dårlige senge. Badeværelset var ved at falde fra hinanden. Dør til brusekabine var løs. Brusestangen løs. Sengen var kun opredt til en person.

Nettes, preiswertes Hotel mitten in der Altstadt
Pros:

Perfekte Lage in Heidelberg: zentral, nahe am Neckar, gutes Frühstück und sehr hilfsbereit!

Cons:

Im Untergeschoss ist eine Disco (Mel's Bar), in der auch morgens um halb drei Uhr der Bär steppt: geht die Tür auf, gibt's Lärm und Geschrei auf der Gasse und man kann den Schlaf vergessen... Ohne Ohrenstöpsel keine Chance!
