Everyone is so nice here. When I arrived in the morning (hours before the check-in time) the owner/manager lady promised to prepare my bed as early as possible after hearing that I spent the previous night on a night bus. I also got a tour of the hostel and could hang out there drinking the free coffee until my bed was ready while my suitcase was secured in a storage room. I also asked for a bottom bed and I got it :) Best hostel I ever stayed at!

Nice place, nice atmosphere, very quiet all the time. The kitchen is fully equiped and with enough space. We loved that you can rent a bike for free! Also a lock if you forget to bring your own. The location is great, you have supermarkets nearby and a bus station that takes you to the cirycentre quite fast.

All hostels in Heidelberg

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Loved staying here. Super cute, cosy, clean. Very friendly staff. Amazing location, in the old town. No wonder it has got the title of best hostel in all of Germany from hostelworld several years.

    This hostel is super homey and warm. The staff are very welcoming and make you feel comfortable. The shared space is perfect for meeting new people, the space is so comfortable with ambient lighting. And there’s helpful tips pinned around the hostel, also very inclusive and multicultural.

    The hostel is very close to the main train station. The staff was very friendly and had lots of good tips. The lockers in the dorm are fine, and if you need it, you can borrow a padlock (with a small deposit). Every bed in the dorm had a nightlight and an extra socket (except the 1 bunk bed in the 6-bed dorm).
