Old town legend - studio for 2-3 people between market square and castle.

You spend the night in the heart of the old town of Heidelberg in a historic house on Oberbadgasse, which is located just opposite the former city wall. In medieval times the house was one of the city's public bath houses. In the 18th century the rooms on the ground floor were used by craft businesses. Later it was the home of a student club that became in the late 60s one of the first "gay clubs" in Germany, the popular “Whisky a GoGo”. Today you sleep on the former dance floor.

The valley station of the funicular to the castle is on the doorstep. You can also reach the castle on foot via 315 steps. A public parking garage (19.50 € per day) and a bus connection to the main train station are in the immediate vicinity. The central market square and the numerous restaurants with their outdoor catering are only a few steps away. The striking Church of the Holy Spirit, the baroque town hall, and the renaissance building "Zum Ritter" are located here. The market square leads to the miles long pedestrian zone, to the “Untere Straße” with its small trendy bars and to the “Steingasse”, which leads to the Old Bridge at the river Neckar, another landmark of Heidelberg.

The fully equipped apartment is barrier-free, and it has a shower-bath, a pantry kitchen, a large double bed and an additional bed for one person.

Parking: 19,50€/24h Parkhaus Kornmarkt/Schloss P 12.
17,50€/24h Parkhaus Karlsplatz P 13.
Free parking, e.g.:
"Stiftweg" with a nice walk along the river Neckar or "Parkplatz Messplatz" (Harbigweg) with a bus connection.

Wonderful spot in the historic area
A cozy place in the historic district to take in the sights. The apartment had all the basic amenities. We didn’t cook but I wasn’t sure how you would do dishes as I didn’t see any dish soap and scrubs. The only issue we had was the that the futon was unlevel with one side tilting down so it wasn’t a comfortable bed. We had a great stay otherwise!

Great location
Only steps away from the bus stop and the entrance for the castle train up the hill. Can be a little noisy up until 11 pm due to the bus stop. Nothing ear plugs didn’t take care of. 2 minute walk to the old square. 11 minute ride on the #20 bus to the main train station. Apartment had all necessary amenities for a short stay. Very happy with the choice

Close to Haupstrasse; very busy corner
Convenience is great; people talking and yelling outside your window is not. Couldn’t keep windows open due to noise so it was hot and stuffy. Thankful for ceiling fan over the bed. Kitchen well equipped. Getting key out of lockbox was a challenge due to vines overgrown. Convenient to Hauptstraße so that was nice.

A perfect place
For a single person in the month of May this was a wonderful place to stay. A very cute place in a nearly perfect location. It would be great for a couple perhaps even with a small child, although more people than that would probably be uncomfortable. It is definitely noisy outside, but with the windows closed it was fine. I had cool weather. In the summer the window vents would need to be open. For my visit everything was great.

Close to Christmas Markets
Basic furnishings in the unit but the kitchen had everything you needed. An extra blanket and more pillows for the bed would have been nice. The location was ideal for some of the Christmas Markets in Heidelberg. The unit is next to a tram station and on Friday and Saturday nights got crowded with people leaving the Christmas Markets and could make sleep difficult otherwise not to busy and loud during the week nights. Excellent water pressure and hot water for showers and radiator heaters for the unit. Never saw our host but had no issues checking in or out and had good communication prior to our arrival.

location - good and bad
The apartment is diagonally across from a bus stop corner. The bus lights and car lights shine in at night even with the shutters and curtains pulled. People come down the ally often singing and talking loudly late at night and hang around to catch the bus. This was disturbing to me and woke me up as I am a light sleeper. My husband was able to sleep through. The location is excellent for shopping and walking to the sites. The apartment is quite small and bare bones, but has the necessities. The Queen bed has 2 small (twin?)comforters which we turned side ways, took the blanket off the couch and went out and got a queen comforter to keep the bedding on as we were there for a week. There is a metal locker for hanging clothes, no drawers or closet. The Bathroom is tiny. This was the first time staying at a rental that the host never checked in to see if all was good or if we needed anything. Often we find a welcome note with area suggestions and info, but not here.

Can’t beat the location
Great location, 1/2 block from the main square of old town and countless shops and restaurants. Comfortable ground floor studio apt. with nice amenities such as refrigerator, 2 burner stove top, iron and ironing board, hair dryer,etc. Queen bed very comfortable but pull out futon was very hard with a big crease down the middle so you could only sleep on half of it. More suitable for a child but easily fixable with a feather mattress topper. Would definitely stay there again.

Wow - what a location! I stayed here with my daughter for just under a week in august and had a wonderful time. The unit is small but charming. The kitchenette is very well equipped (fridge, stove, coffee maker, dishes) and there was plenty of storage space for hanging clothes etc. the bathroom was tiny - hardly enough room to change your mind in there, but it was clean and the shower had excellent water pressure. The only downside was that we visited during a heatwave (36 degrees Celsius) and the property is obviously not air conditioned. We had to open windows to cool the unit down; however, the unit is ground level and there is a fairly busy bus stop five feet from the house (So not only was this noisy but didn’t feel safe to leave the windows open at night.) There is a ceiling fan to help with cooling down, but I did struggle with the heat quite a bit. All in all, I would stay there again but probably not in the hottest time of summer

We loved the location. It was 1 block from Marktplatz and 30 feet to the bus stop to get to the main train station. The funicular to the castle is 1 block away. There was ample room for 3 people and the shower was consistently hot! The beds were comfortable and the pillow was perfect! We didn’t use the kitchen but it looked like it had all the needed items. All in all a good experience!

Comfortable Apartment at the Heart of Heidelberg
I had stayed here for 2 nights and it was a wonderful experience! The apartment is conveniently located at the Heart of Old Town Heidelberg right at the foot of Schloss Heidelberg, and just a few steps away from the Heidelberg Church and town square. big shout out to the wonderful host Lydia! She Is very friendly and knowledgeable, and is always willing to help. she gave me some great tips on how to tour the area which was super cool. Gotta get the tips from the local! The apartment is clean, bright and well kept. There are a lots of windows for those who like to do people watching. You will not get a better deal for this price and location, and I would highly recommend it!
