I stayed here for three nights with my husband and his family. We went to Venice, Florence, Cinque Terre, Heidelberg and Amsterdam on this trip and the Hackteufel was one of the most enchanting sites on our amazing trip. My husband and I stayed in the room on the top floor with amazing views on the castle. My in-laws stayed... more

We really enjoyed our stay at the Hackteufel! It was a wonderful location – right near the famous Old Bridge and beautiful Neckar river. It was old-world charm all around. We arrived a train from Frankfurt airport to Mannheim to Heidelberg. Then we got a bus to Bismarckplatz. This is still a walk to the hotel down a very busy... more

Both my fiancé and I have been to Heidelberg before, and were so looking forward to wander around the pedestrian streets, enjoying the special, youthful (due to the large Uni) but so historic / pittoresque atmosphere. This time we went for the Hackteufel due to the very good reviews here - and what a NICE surprise it was! The place... more

We have stayed in Heidelberg many times, and always go back to the Hackteufel.The owners are a bit formal, but the setting is perfect, and afterall after a night out in the Altstadt you need to be near the Steingasse. The location has immense atmosphere, and if you wish a quieter room, ask for one at the back. The restuarant... more

Sorry folks I submitted my glowing review on the restaurant link - Doh. please Click back and read it in full. Bottom line - in my absence my company has booked me into a 5 star for my next trip to Frankfurt in October, at 330 euros a night!!!! It;'s the Bookfair, so the prices are hiked, but still a... more

Friends recommended this hotel and we couldn't have been more impressed. It was just perfect. The location cannot be beat... right in the center of town and close to EVERYTHING. Some reviews complain about the noise since it is on a quaint yet very popular street. But we thought this bustling location made you experience the city and its night... more

The hotel met our expectation - and was a little over our normal budget. We wanted a simple 'Gasthaus' with classic bedding and Bavarian hospitality. Rooms were clean and very nice. Breakfast excellent. We had dinner in the hotel and it was OK, rather excessive portions and heavy for summer. The service ok. It is on the MAIN walking street... more

This is a lovely gasthaus right in the centre of the old town within easy walking distance of all the sights of Heidelberg. Our room was lovely, tastefully decorated with a large bathroom with a separate shower and bath. Not something that you always get in Germany! The breakfast was also of a good quality but perhaps a little more... more

First of all, all of the email correspondence I had with this lovely hotel was so efficient and polite. They always emailed back right away and could not have been more helpful or friendly. We had an AMAZING room that was actually more like an apt. (room 8!) with a view of the castle. This hotel could not be more... more
