Across many reviews, The Heidelberg Exzellenz Hotel is praised for friendly staff, spacious rooms with kitchenettes, and a walkable, quiet location near the old town, while recurring drawbacks include limited parking, no elevator in parts, and inadequate air conditioning.
Guests consistently describe the property as very clean, though a few noted worn linens or minor bathroom design issues. Breakfast is widely enjoyed and available for a fee, with some calling it basic or not worth the surcharge. Reception keeps limited hours, with some arrivals using a lockbox or self check-in. Expect a comfortable stay a short walk from Heidelberg’s sights.

I liked that this property is a short drive away from the castle and university. It gave a feel for a neighborhood area of the city. They offer parking which made it easy to store the car. The room was nice and the bed was comfortable. We had a wonderful view. The staff was friendly and breakfast was the typical buffet of meats, cheeses, breads, and fruits. All was delicious. One thing that was a bit difficult was parking in front of the hotel to unload the bags because the main street is busy and the side street is one-way and mostly non-stopping zones. But, other than that, it was a wonderful stay.

Located near the downtown, this hotel is okay. However, you may have trouble with your bags. Because my floor did not have an elevator.

This hotel is easily walkable to tourist district 10-15 min max. Which has loads of restaurants and shops. The room was very clean and staff nice. They do leave at 7 pm and you’re basically on your own til the next am. We had a car and you have parking on city streets at 5 euros a day (need to get a slip at front desk) but you have to find street parking which can be a challenge. They do have a few spots you can book in advance but we didn’t know that and they were gone upon arrival. They have an air condenser but no ac and as hear wave, it was hot. Otherwise the property is In a great spot at least for walking. 20 min or so to River. And close to several things if walking

Part of the hotel has no elevator but you can’t tell when booking. Guess only the more expensive rooms have the luxury. Plus no A/C on a hot summer day might be an issue for some.

Convenient hotel for centre of Heidelberg. We were able to explore on foot from here without the need for public transport. Lots of cafes and restaurants nearby but hotel was just away from the centre in a reasonably quiet neighbourhood. Staff were friendly but quite anonymous…we didn’t need anything in particular during our stay so only saw them at check-in and out. Parking is just across the road, hidden away in an enclosed area of a side street.

Zelfs Google Maps had moeite met de éénrichtingsverkeerstraatjes om het hotel en de bijbehorende parkeerplaats te vinden. De receptie, tevens ontbijtzaal is niet erg sfeervol en er is geen lift. De mooie kamer die we hadden was heel erg groot en van alle gemakken voorzien, zoals een goed bed, een ruim bureau en een bankstel. Ontbijt heel goed. Goede douche jammer genoeg in het bad, maar erg klein wastafeltje. Helaas spatte er veel douchewater over de badrand zodat de badkamervloer blank kwam te staan. HeidelbergCard handig voor bezoek aan het beroemde slot en voor het vervoer met tram en bus.

The area around the location was under some construction and it made it challenging for us to locate the hotel. Parking was available on the street and we were able to purchase a parking pass for 5 euro. The hotel is simple, the shower is deep, and the beds are hard. The portable AC was welcomed, but be forewarned there's no central air here.

I loved the elegant architecture of the older building with modern interior. The small parking lot was very handy for the rental/exploring car. It is very close to the Old Town of Heidelberg. The main train station is about 1 mile away (20 min walk) or take tram. Enjoy.

We chose this hotel for one night due to its ratings and location (halfway between the train station and old town). We were allowed to check in a few hours early because our room was ready. The room itself was very clean and spacious. The morning breakfast tasted great. I would definitely stay here again.

The reception staff were very nice. The room was large and felt reasonably clean. However, the mattress cover was grubby and my sheet had small holes in it. We asked for water at reception and were given bottles but not told we would be charged for them, and although I dont mind paying for a bottle of water, it would have been good to be advised at the time rather than be presented with a bill for water at the end. It was very hot when we visited and there was no aircon, so we had to have the windows open. The steet noise was very loud until about 3am and started again at 5am. Other than that the room had everything we needed.

Also ich war positiv sehr überrascht über die Einbauküche in meinen zimmer. So in manchen nigel nagel neuen Hotels bekommt man nicht mal einen kühlschrank/minibar. Kühlschrank inkl kleinen Gefrierfach, Mikrowelle, Wasserkocher, Herd usw waren vorhanden. Das Badezimmer war auch sehr angenehm und hatte sogar ein Fenster. Ein Schreibtisch war auch vorhanden was mir sehr gefallen hat. Ich konnte angenehm arbeiten. Alles in allem fand ich dieses Hotel sehr ansprechend und gemütlich. Frühstück hatte ich leider nicht. Daher kein Kommentar. Was hat mir nicht gefallen? - In Sachen Sauberkeit könnte das Hotel noch etwas aufpassen. Durchschnittlich war es so sauber wie in vielen anderen Hotels in der Umgebung. 8/10 Punkten. - Check-out um 11:00 Uhr ist einfach zu früh.12 Uhr sollte es sein. Ich weiß nicht warum manche Hotels diesen Standard hin und her biegen.

Rooms
Rooms are spacious, many with kitchenettes and modern touches, and some offer views. A common complaint is the lack of central A/C (sometimes replaced by portable units or fans), and several found the beds quite firm.

Hotel bonito, limpo e refinado. Os quartos tinham uma mini copa extremamente útil. Porém não ficaria de novo apenas pela cama, colchão é algo que importa muito pra mim e achei muito “duro” e não dormi nem acordei bem. Pode ser que pra quem gosta de colchão mais firme não se incomode. Tirando isso, tudo era muito bom, tamanho do quarto, banheiro ótimo.

We needed a room for 3 persons. It’s one of the few hotels which had all comfy beds for this preference. The room was pretty large with a little kitchenette. So that’s pretty nice. It’s a 30 minute walk to the Schloss and about 10 minutes to the Hauptstraße. So it’s a bit out of the busy city centre. The only downside was that the room had a mobile AC unit, which made quite some noise. However the breakfast was pretty good with a variety of choice. Service was admirable.

Kitchenette did not have a microwave or cooking utensils, but still useful. We enjoyed the daily breakfast (17 euros). Staff were all very friendly and efficient. Short 5 min walk to transport and amenities. Quite a bit further to the old town, bridge and castle

This hotel is Wonderful!! Especially staying here during the Christmas markets the staff were super helpfull and very nice .Parking is exactly what you'd expect in a city. Be prepared to drive around the blocks a bit and construction is going on as well but not a big deal to us Their Breakfast Buffet is awesome! Super convenient walking to the city centre and the tram up to the castle. Bedding is super comfy. We will definitely come back here again.

The hotel was wonderful. The rooms were nice and quiet. We found the location convenient. It’s a 10 minute walk from Heidelberg-Weststadt/Südstadt train station. We were close to a bus stop (just around the corner) to get to the Heidelberg castle. And it was a nice walk through the old town on pedestrian streets to get back. I would definitely stay here again.

Extended a work trip for the weekend in Heidelberg and found this charming hotel that is a remodeled classic building and centrally located in a quiet neighborhood. Since I was there in November, air conditioning wasn’t a factor. The only ding I would give is there isn’t an elevator so carrying luggage was more work than I wanted. Everything was within a 15-20 minute walk or you could hop on the e-scooters to make trips quicker (I went to the SNP Dome). A great value.

Friendly staff at check in, a beautiful hotel with lovely architecture, easy walk into the town centre. Parking is on street around the hotel but a very quiet area so no worries regards security. Stunning city to visit, this was the perfect overnight stop.

The hotel was very conveniently located. We walked to the shopping area and to the historic district. It was close to restaurants. It had a delicious breakfast. The breakfast was 15 euros per person. It had fruit, meat, cheese, breads, coffee, juice.

I loved the elegant architecture of the older building with modern interior. The small parking lot was very handy for the rental/exploring car. It is very close to the Old Town of Heidelberg. The main train station is about 1 mile away (20 min walk) or take tram. Enjoy.

Dining
Breakfast is popular and generally tasty, though basic for some and an added cost. A few questioned the value for the surcharge.

We chose this hotel for one night due to its ratings and location (halfway between the train station and old town). We were allowed to check in a few hours early because our room was ready. The room itself was very clean and spacious. The morning breakfast tasted great. I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay! I have stayed before and loved it then. The staff is friendly, breakfast is perfect. There is no A/C so the rooms can get warmer but a great hotel just outside the old town!

This was a nice place to stay. The breakfast was good but I don’t know that it was worth the extra cost. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Zelfs Google Maps had moeite met de éénrichtingsverkeerstraatjes om het hotel en de bijbehorende parkeerplaats te vinden. De receptie, tevens ontbijtzaal is niet erg sfeervol en er is geen lift. De mooie kamer die we hadden was heel erg groot en van alle gemakken voorzien, zoals een goed bed, een ruim bureau en een bankstel. Ontbijt heel goed. Goede douche jammer genoeg in het bad, maar erg klein wastafeltje. Helaas spatte er veel douchewater over de badrand zodat de badkamervloer blank kwam te staan. HeidelbergCard handig voor bezoek aan het beroemde slot en voor het vervoer met tram en bus.

Het was een zeer schoon en net hotel. Personeel was zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam indien nodig. Ontbijt was basic maar goed en werd continu aangevuld. Hou wel rekening dat er alleen maar ontbijt wordt gereserveerd.

This hotel is Wonderful!! Especially staying here during the Christmas markets the staff were super helpfull and very nice .Parking is exactly what you'd expect in a city. Be prepared to drive around the blocks a bit and construction is going on as well but not a big deal to us Their Breakfast Buffet is awesome! Super convenient walking to the city centre and the tram up to the castle. Bedding is super comfy. We will definitely come back here again.
