Hotel-Pension Berger

Staff/Breakfast/silence/

I've travelled quite a lot in many different countries, and it is rare for me to unequivocally recommend a hotel, but Hotel Pension Berger proved to be one of those hidden gems. The location couldn't be better for my needs - I was there to visit the Astronomisches Rechen-Institut of Heidelberg University, which is next door to the hotel, but it is also within easy walking distance of many restaurants, cafes and shops. My single-bed room was very comfortable, with an ensuite bathroom with high-end fittings, and well equipped with a reliable wifi connection. The whole hotel was spotlessly clean throughout, and in a quiet and safe neighbourhood. Breakfast was served as an ample buffet in a dining room on the ground-floor, with cooked options available as well as cereals, breads, meats, salads, fruit etc. But especial thanks to proprietor Beate Berger, who was so friendly and really went the extra mile during my stay, helping me to make onward travel connections and accommodating my very-late-night check-in. I regret that I don't speak German, but Beate's English is excellent, and I really appreciate her warm welcome.

I really have no complaints at all. The only thing worth mentioning is that parking can sometimes be hard to find in Heidelberg generally. The city has good public transport, so I never found I needed a car, but I understand that parking at the hotel can be arranged.

We were able to leave our luggage onsite before check in was available. The breadsticks was excellent. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Only a short 10 min walk to downtown.

A charming stay with parking amenities and 15 minutes walk to downtown

We were very please with our stay

This B&B is so lovely. We stayed in the family room and it was large with everything we needed (although a small fridge would have been handy), we even had a little balcony to sit on. The rooms were serviced everyday and towls supplied for the swimming pool. We were there during the European heatwave and the swimming pool was nice to cool off. The room didn't have aircon but had a fan and multiple windows we could open at night. The area is quiet so there was no problem with leaving the windows open during the night. We didn't have the breakfast but it smelled good in the morning :) There were restaurants, cafes and supermarket in a very short walking distance and it was also easy to walk into the old town (across the river). Overall the place was fantastic, very well run and a proper B&B. We would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful stay at the Pension Berger, well located to walk, about 20 mins, or cycle into the town centre. Lovely garden and pool. Plenty of choice for breakfast and very friendly hosts. Would recommend taking the parking option which is just around the corner from the pEnsion as the streets seemed to be for residents of the area only .

Since a family member of ours had to visit a hospital in Heidelberg for medical treatment, we searched for a Hotel from where you can easily reach the university hospitals by foot. We were positively surprised by the great location of the Hotel since the hospitals, as well as the city Center of Heidelberg were easily reachable by foot within 10 minutes. Furthermore, the hotel is just seconds away from a major bus stop which also connects you with the hospitals and the city center. In the hotel, we had a very pleasant stay in one of family Berger's double rooms which was equipped with everything you need during a hotel stay. Mrs. Berger as well as the rest of the staff treated us very friendly and polite. All in all we had a very pleasant stay at Hotel Berger and if we return to Heidelberg, Hotel Berger will be our first choice for our accomodation.

Our family stayed here for 6 days. The hotel is in a quiet location, yet central in Heidelberg, within easy reach of public transportation. There is lots of shopping and restaurants within an easily walkable distance. (Great farmer's market nearby on Saturday mornings!) Walking to the city's Bismarckplatz and pedestrian zone is also very possible. Our room was lovely, large and very clean. The breakfast was excellent - something we definitely looked forward to in the mornings. The owner-operators are lovely, welcoming people, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I can only highly recommend it.

We stayed here for 3 nights in September whilst visiting this beautiful city for a conference. This is a guesthouse run by a charming and friendly family. The rooms are spotless and the breakfast is excellent. The hotel is situated on the North side of the river in a quiet residential area and the city centre and old city are easily accessible using Heidelberg's excellent public transport system (12 minutes to the old town). Highly recommended.
