This was the best priced hotel we could find in Heidelberg, which is to say still pretty expensive, but we got a good deal through one of the booking agencies. We booked a 4-person room that turned out to be two double beds. My son and daughter were not happy about having to share.

The bathrooms are completely remodeled with radiant heating in the floor and lovely new fixtures with water saving features like electric eye in the sink and an auto-off in the shower after 1 minute. You can easily turn it back on, but amazingly the shower got it right every time for me--just as I was done getting wet, it went off, and just as I was done rinsing it went off again. The rest of the room was clean but shabby.

My only real complaint is that the building is old and the doors don't close very well so there was light from the hallway coming through the crack between the door and the door frame all night. It didn't seem very secure. Also, the door must be locked from the inside with the key, which seems like a bit of a fire hazard. And, the walls are paper thin, so when a neighboring guest came in at 2 am, we could hear him whistling and talking to himself for 20 min as he let the door slam closed, dropped his heavy bags, showered, and finally went to sleep.

The people were friendly and helpful, the food was excellent and well-priced. The desk is only staffed until 8 pm, but they have a system for letting you get your key from an automated dispenser outside the front door after hours. You have to get a special ticket for the free internet service, though, so if you arrive after 8 pm you won't be able to get any internet until the next morning.

Very nice place. Stayed 1 night at winter. About 10 minutes walk to pedestrian zone in Heidelberg.
Rooms are very nice and have good style.

Breakfast is decent.
We love this place.
Parking is not free, but plenty on the same street.

A long week-end visiting a son at EMBL was made to feel really special by the excellent choice of the Elite hotel.
Upon arrival it we were offered local parking tickets for street parking in the area surrounding the hotel. At 3 euros a day they were excellent value for the duration of our stay each ticket valid from 12 noon to 12 noon. Oh that similar schemes were as flexible in the UK! The staff were helpful and courteous and gave advice on local restaurants etc.
The triple room was clean.light and airy with a high ceiling. The furnishing certainly stylish if eclectic with a wonderful hotch-potch of tastes which certainly gave individuality to the hotel. This is no "same as" boring generic hotel .Very comfortable beds, high quality down duvets and pillows. Efficient large modern shower/wet room with plenty of hot water.
The wireless lan access was ok on the first floor and the small laptop in the breakfast room quite adequate if you needed it.
Nice area down a quiet one way side street but only 200 metres from the main square.
The continental buffet was extensive with several good local specialities, excellent coffee delivered promptly. We loved it!

When you first arrive at the hotel, in the middle of a very small street, you find the outside somewhat deceiving: when you go in, you find yourself in a very old home but very clean and very well decorated - sorta opening a door to the past! Our room was across the street and again the appearance was deceiving: open the door and you will find a fairly spacious room , very clean with firm beds. On the wall is a 26 inch High Def T.V. with Satellite T.v. and the bathroom has been updated with all modern features!
You can have breakfast inside in an old living room? or outside on the terrasse: again, all the items are very fresh, cheese, meats, coffee, tea, juices, fresh bread, etc. included in the price.
