Hotel Goldener Hecht

Very well located, at the old town, near to the best Heidelberg attractions. The rooms are very comfortable, and the breakfast reminds you of a family breakfast. The staff was very friendly and always ready to help us, the reason to consider it as a “family hotel”. A place to consider in a future trip to Heidelberg.

We stayed at this hotel for 1 night on our way to Austria and it was in a perfect town centre location opposite Heidelberg’s old bridge. We parked our car overnight at the Parkhaus Kornmarkt/Schloss P12 which was within easy walking distance of the hotel as we guessed that trying to drive straight to the hotel to drop off our luggage during peak afternoon tourist times would be a nightmare and we were right. The check-out receptionist provided a discount ticket for parking which ended up only costing €10 instead of the normal €17.50. Our room was on the first floor overlooking the busy Steingasse so there was no view to speak of, but it was a large clean room with comfortable bed and although the decor was dated it kind of fitted in with the ambience of this old building and ancient Heidelberg itself. Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone planning a visit to this beautiful town.

The standard double is a tiny room with one window. Nothing decorative in the room and furniture is chipped and tired. Only redeeming factor is the location. It’s right on the river next to the bridge. Within walking distance to all sights. Staff was helpful.
