OK.
Pros:

A lovely 16th-century building right in the center. Go left, right, or straight downhill and you will find everything. It is a bit ramshackle and is undergoing renovation. Little boys will love the full armor suits at the entrance and on my floor, probably theirs too.
I thought the bed sagged, a double bed made out of two singles, both sagging, but the unsagging edges together at the middle were fine. The hot water took a while, but was hot. However, there was no shelf in the shower, which made it hard, if you wanted to use your own soap and shampoo, not theirs, and only have two hands. I enjoyed my stay and would come back. The last night, when I had to go to bed early for a train, I asked for a bottle of water. The concierge said the price was 7.5 euros (just under $10.). I wish that hadn’t happened. It put a gouging cloud over the place I liked staying at and even being patient with.

建造物の美しさは必見
Pros:

素晴らしい立地と建物です。ヨーロッパの歴史を感じられる調度品や構造物で廊下や階段すら楽しめました。夜景も早朝の街並みも美しかったです。

Cons:

フロントの方が忙しすぎて手が回っていなかったように思います。一生懸命に対応してくださっている気持ちはわかりますが、案内も対応も不十分で残念でした。

Fijn verblijf in monumentaal pand in het centrum van oud Heidelberg
Pros:

Prachtig oud pand met ruime kamers. Gelegen in het centrum van de oude stad.

Cons:

De inrichting van de kamers is gedateerd en de kamer was op sommige plekken wat stoffig.

Beautiful, historic hotel
Pros:

It is a beautiful building and the customer service by staff was excellent.

Cons:

fold out sofa I slept on was quite uncomfortable. While one doesn't expect perfection from a sleeper-sofa, there are better options available these days. It was hard to shower without water spilling out.
