Great location for a work trip. The rooms are large, comfortable and well kept. Breakfast at the top floor has a good variety and quality. Only complaint would be the room facing the main station can be quite loud if the window is open.

Heidelberg is beautiful but once you get out of town there’s a lot of graffiti. The autobahn safe under repair so traffic was rarely “fast”
