The hotel met our expectation - and was a little over our normal budget. We wanted a simple 'Gasthaus' with classic bedding and Bavarian hospitality. Rooms were clean and very nice. Breakfast excellent. We had dinner in the hotel and it was OK, rather excessive portions and heavy for summer. The service ok. It is on the MAIN walking street... more

This is a lovely gasthaus right in the centre of the old town within easy walking distance of all the sights of Heidelberg. Our room was lovely, tastefully decorated with a large bathroom with a separate shower and bath. Not something that you always get in Germany! The breakfast was also of a good quality but perhaps a little more... more

First of all, all of the email correspondence I had with this lovely hotel was so efficient and polite. They always emailed back right away and could not have been more helpful or friendly. We had an AMAZING room that was actually more like an apt. (room 8!) with a view of the castle. This hotel could not be more... more

We have spent a considerable amount of time in Europe and most of it has been in small, upscale inns that we've ferreted out from the huge numbers available--usually very much to our satisfaction. Gasthaus Hackteufel, though not what we'd consider to be "upscale," offered a great location, a restaurant with a reputation, and very attentive pre-arrival e-mail communications. Upon... more

My coworker and I stayed at the Hackteufel for one night when we were on our way back to the States from the Middle East. The hotel is in the perfect location in the old part of Heidelberg. I was able to look out my window on the second floor and see the cobblestone streets, people eating dinner, and the... more

This was my first trip to Europe and I was by myself. I couldn't have chosen a more fun and neat place to stay. Plus it was right in the heart of everything. I wish I could have stayed longer. The breakfast was great and my view was great. Price was right and I loved The Gasthaus Hackteufel!!! I will... more

Location, location, location. This hotel is just steps from the famous bridge in the heart of the old town. We used it as a great base for visiting the sites and could rest in our room between outings! Our room was beautiful and clean, we were welcomed with a bowl of fruit and complimentary wine. The room had wood beams... more

A really wonderful inn. We stayed in room #12 - on the top floor. The room is very large and very spacious, with a small fridge, a CD player, a TV, an ensuite bath with a bathtub, and a gorgeous view of the castle and the old town from your window. The hosts were very welcoming and gracious. The breakfast... more

We stayed here for 2 nights in late September 2006 and enjoyed our stay at Gasthaus Hackteufel and the lovely Heidelberg itself. The room itself was fairly basic, but neat and clean. We had a room on the first floor facing the front of the hotel overlooking the cobblestone street and the front of the restuarant - I think we... more
