Newly installed vinyl flooring makes each room allergy-friendly, and a complimentary bottle of mineral water waits on arrival.

The hotel sits within the world-renowned European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) campus in Heidelberg, with a bus stop directly in front offering city center access in about 25 minutes.

The hotel serves an extensive breakfast buffet each morning alongside à la carte options in the on-site restaurant with a beer garden. Guests can try their luck on the boules court or use the free outdoor furniture and sun terrace. A small play area in the biergarten keeps children entertained, and special diet menus are available on request.

“Nestled in Heidelberg's woods near the EMBL, the hotel is family-friendly, offering spacious rooms and a retro decor filled with unique memorabilia; plus, the saunas with different infusions are a real highlight after a day out. I think the location is ideal for those seeking both quiet and convenience, with direct bus access to the city center. It's a solid choice that balances comfort and accessibility, in my opinion.”
