Great location

We loved the location of this hotel. It’s located on a lovely little square with bars, cafes, bakeries, and even a market while we were there. An easy walk to the old city. Staff in the hotel were super friendly and helpful.

Beautiful hotel “across the river” but near The Philosopher’s Way. Vibrant, but safe neighborhood. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat. The staff are very kind and helpful.
Parking can be a bit tight, but there are spots to be found.
This city is made for walking!

This is a very well maintained, modest hotel in a lovely part of town. The staff is very friendly and accommodating but note that the reception desk closes between 10:30p and 6:30a. The hotel is small and not spectacular but for a simple, straightforward stay in Heidelberg on a charming square (with a farmers market some mornings) it’s really exceptional.

Great new hotel

We booked this hotel while traveling Germany; it was close to downtown. The hotel is nice, the area is nice and lots of options, and only a 20 min walk to the bridge. We ended up with the handicapped room. Growing up with a handicapped mother this was one of the best handicapped bathrooms I had ever seen.

Super hotel, good service

We had a super experience at Rafael Hotel. We were received by a very profesional and kind male receptionist- who really made us feal comfortable and was very servicial. We asked questions about the castle, and even he was busy before going home, he took his time to answer. I regret we did’t give him a good “trinkgeld” he deserve it. Home the hotel appreciates him.
