Very nice structure, polite personnel, the room was comfortable and very clean, breakfast was also delicious. One big problem: there is no place outside the hotel to stop the car just for a while and unload the luggage (when we arrived it was raining really badly...). But there are two parkings not too far from the hotel, 5-10 minutes walk approximately.

I stayed at Hotel Zur Alten Brücke for just one night, and while the stay was short, the experience was unforgettable — thanks especially to Sebastian at the front desk. When I arrived, Sebastian kindly helped me with my luggage and even brought it up to my room, which I truly appreciated after a long day of travel. The hotel itself was charming, comfortable, and perfectly located in the heart of Heidelberg’s old town. When it was time to check out, Sebastian once again went above and beyond. He helped me with my heavy bags, walking with me over the cobblestone streets all the way to the Old Bridge (Alte Brücke) so I could catch a taxi from there. Later, after I had already left, I realized I had forgotten one of my bags. To my surprise and relief, Sebastian answered my call right away, helped me through every step, and personally arranged to have my bag shipped safely to me in the U.S. His kindness, professionalism, and genuine care turned what could have been a stressful situation into a truly positive and memorable experience. If you’re ever in Heidelberg, I highly recommend Hotel Zur Alten Brücke — and if Sebastian at the front desk is on duty, you’ll be in the best hands possible. ⭐ Rating: 5/5

Can’t recommend enough

Great stay!! We booked the room with the balcony - it was absolutely adorable. It is on a busier street but with the windows closed you can’t hear anything. Great service, very friendly, and felt very safe! Definitely our favorite hotel on our week-long Germany vacation. HIGHLY recommend, we will be staying here when we come back!

Great location near to the main points of interest. Lovely place but lacking a few basics. Difficult with a lot of luggage and car, having to park 10 min walk away. Nice room, no coffee making facilities or fridge. Breakfast was average with food uncovered, so avoided what I would have liked due to flies. Nice guy on reception but we wouldn’t return.
