Rafaela Hotel Heidelberg

What guests think

Travellers describe Rafaela Hotel Heidelberg as a small, modern hotel with exceptionally friendly staff, very clean, comfortable rooms, and a charming setting on a lively neighborhood square across the river, walkable to the Old Town and Philosopher’s Way.

Breakfast is frequently highlighted as fresh and good value. Many guests found the rooms peaceful with nice views, though a few note occasional noise from the square or early market setup. Parking is off site in nearby garages, so plan accordingly; overall, expect a comfortable, low key stay in a charming part of town.

The hotel and staff were excellent. Major plus is this hotel is only 4 years old and has A/C in its rooms. It is a little bit of a walk to the old city of Heidelberg a little over a mile but if you walk along the river it is nice. Their is not parking so you will need to park in the parking garage which is about a 10 minute walk. Overall this hotel was a very nice stay.

Quiet, clean and comfortable, in a very nice old part of town across the river from the university. I am told there is a market on Saturday and Wednesday in the square that the rooms face, so I would expect some early morning noise as that gets set up. Breakfast was excellent, and less than €10.

The hotel was lovely. Our room had a gorgeous view over a lovely open platz (though the bar was a little lively late into a Wednesday night with windows open). The rooms were extremely comfortable, the morning buffet was lovely, and the staff were warm and attentive. The location was easily walkable to old town and the castle for those who don't have issues walking on tour. We also enjoyed a drink in the platz outside the restaurant while there. It's an affordable, lovely place to stay. Thank you Rafaela!

Wir wurden herzlichst empfangen und bekamen sogar ein Getränk angeboten. Uns wurden wertvolle Tipps bezüglich Sehnswürdigkeiten gegeben. Das Zimmer war sauber und gemütlich; man hatte einen schönen Ausblick zum gegenüberliegenden Marktplatz, auf dem eine kleine Kappelle steht. Wir haben uns gleich wie zu Hause gefühlt. Vom Markt am nächsten Tag hat man nichts gehört, die Fenster sind top isoliert. Abends konnte man auf dem Marktplatz in einer der fancy Bars (auch draußen) gemütlich sitzen und den Tag ausklingen lassen. Wir kommen wieder!
