About this property

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.

We absolutely loved staying here. The location was ideal, right in the Altstadt and near the funicular to the Castle, the Alte Brucke, the Church of the Holy Ghost with its magnificent views, and the Philosopher's Walk. You really get that immersive experience. We parked in the parking station, and even it had amazing views. I think you really get a true experience of being in Heidelberg here.

Late Spring Visit

Second time staying here. Perfect location for access to old city, just 1 min walking to Rathaus. Public transportation drops and picks up right at property. Do prefer the Christmas markets but so nice to sit outside and enjoy drinks .Close to bakeries for a peaceful morning walk.Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

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.

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.

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

Sehr gute Lage, kurzer Weg zur Altstadt, Wohnung für 2 Personen perfekt, alles sauber, leider kein Parkplatz etc, die Heidelberger Altstadt nur für Anwohner, aber direkt gegenüber das Parkhaus P12, kostet allerdings bei einem Aufenthalt von Montag bis Freitag ca.80 . Wir würden diese Wohnung wieder buchen.

We could not have had a better place to stay in Heidelberg. The location was right by a bus stop, the funicular to the castle, and just down the street to enter the Market Square. We felt like we had walked into a fairy tale. The space was comfortable, had everything we would expect and more. The host replied immediately to any questions. Everything was very clean. We would definitely recommend this space or return if we are ever in the area. There was no need for a car as everything is within walking distance including a bakery that opens at 8am and a grocery store for reasonably priced items.

check-in war unproblematisch, Küchenausstattung war sehr gut, es fehlte allerdings ein Gemüseschäler.Nachts war es laut und hell. Verdunklungsvorhänge wären super gewesen.Das Studio ist für 2 Personen völlig ok, eine dritte Person hätte auf dem kaputten Sofa übernachten müssen. Trotzdem danke für ein schönes Wochenende in Heidelberg.

Zentrale gelegene und gemütlich eingerichtete Wohnung mit bequemem Bett und gut ausgestatteter Küche. Durch die Lage war es abends und teilweise auch nachts recht laut, v.a. weil wir wegen des sehr warmen Wetters die Fenster über Nacht zum Lüften kippen mussten. Für drei Personen ist der Esstisch definitiv zu winzig, für zwei ging es gerade so.Wir waren viel zu Fuß in und um Heidelberg unterwegs und dafür war die Wohnung sehr gut geeignet.

Heart of the Altstadt

Perfect little gem just off the Marktplatz in Heidelberg’s beautiful Altstadt. No frills, but clean and comfortable. You cannot beat this location. Easy walk in and walk out. Easy access to public transportation. Spend your time walking the pedestrian areas and enjoying restaurant and bar outdoor seating! Highly recommend!

Unterkunftsbewertung

Die Unterkunft liegt sehr zentral. Sie befindet sich im EG und ist damit grundsätzlich auch für Bewegungseingeschränkte erreichbar. Für die Nutzung der Wohnung durch Bewegungseingeschränkte ist das Bad und die Dusche jedoch sehr eng. Eine Bushaltestelle befindet sich in 20 m Entfernung. Ich würde die Wohnung bei einem erneuten Aufenthalt in Heidelberg gern wieder nutzen.
