When we first arrived at the Classic Inn we were a little taken aback by the reception area as it resembles a youth hostel much more than a hotel. The bedroom also came as a disappointment as it was very basic, with no tea or coffee making facilities.The reception area/lounge was again little more than a conservatory with some magazines on a table. Our bedroom on the ground floor had two windows, which looked out directly onto the main road and people walking past could see directly into our room. There were however some blinds that we could draw to prevent this.In its favour, the hotel was very clean and the staff were friendly. I would say that had the Classic Inn advertised itself as more of a bed and breakfast/ inn then we would have been perfectly satisfied. However, it is extremely basic and thus overpriced and next time we would choose anothe hotel.

I was truely concerned when we checked in as the girl behind the counter was behind a glass window. I was concerned. I quickly checked the room that she was going to give us and decided that it was adequate for the eight hours of sleep that we were going to use it for, but that was it. In my opinion, this place is not even on the same scale as Motel 6.

While it is close to the train station, it is quite a distance from all of the spots you want to see in Heidelberg, so bring your walking shoes. If you have a car it is tough to find a parking spot (and you have to purchase a permit that they sell at the front desk).

For the price that they charge for a room, one would expect alot more. This place is way over priced for what it is.

I would not recommend staying at this hotel. The day before our check-out, we noticed items missing from our room as did another family traveling with us. Items missing from my room were cash, an I-pod and a Germany soccer jersey purchased the day before.

When we spoke to the owner/manager, he was defensive and he gave conflicting stories. We asked for the police and when they arrived we heard from conflicting stories from the owner/manager.

Once the items were missing we did not expect to ever get them back, but we did expect to be lied to. All we wanted was an apology.

The hotel is nice, clean and friendly. The rooms are quite big but it feels more like a hostel with private rooms/tvs rather than a hotel (i.e bright coloured bedding, plain furniture etc). That said it was quiet and more a place for older people/ families than students. The staff were very friendly though and it really felt like a family run hotel. Breakfast is fantastic but get there early as the dining room is small and fills up fast. The only downside is that the hotel is a bit further from the town centre than we'd expected (20 mins walk).
