This boarding house enjoys a convenient location directly above Hemingway’s bar, on the fringes of the old quarter of Heidelberg. Come and stay here and enjoy the view directly over the rooftops of Heidelberg, and the majestic Neckar River. You could hardly find a more central place to stay than this hotel, which is literally only around the corner from the vibrant and bustling Bismarktplatz. Drop into Hemingway’s bar downstairs and join the cult crowd, where you can enjoy a substantial breakfast, good-value lunches, dinners and good evening entertainment.

This was a perfect location. Walking distance from everything! It felt very safe and was easy to get to!
As other reviews have mentioned, there are quite a few stairs which was somewhat difficult with two little kids, but manageable.

Very Poor
The room was more like a closet turned into a room. It had a bed and that was it. Very very old building. Lots of noise coming from the resturant downstairs. There was no wifi and there was no light in the stair case. Night air conditioning, technically just a bed in a very old sticky doom closet to sleep in.
Everything was bad

Disappointing
The hostel is right in the center of Heidelberg, so it was possible to walk to the castle and explore the other side of the river as well.
The staff for the hostel is also the staff for the bar on the ground floor, which made it a challenge to check in and out as well as communicate any requests. The curtains and floor were dirty. The floor is very creaky and there was a lot of noise from the street level. Be aware that this place is bar first, hostel second.

Room was as advertised so it met my expectations. Very friendly/helpful staff in the bar.
Pleased to see a kettle was provided in the room - but, unfortunately, no cup/mug!

Location, fair good value for the money.
Maybe some room details, as floors should be fixed.

Fair
staff is very responsive, helpful and nice.
doors to rooms are super thin, so you hear everything happening on the same floor. it's a hostel, so most people seem to be young travelers - staying up late and not being too quiet when returning for sleeping in the night.
