Guest Reviews

• Marco (10/5): Wonderful - Lovely place
• Natalia (9/5): - I liked the location. Some bunk beds can be quite noisy, this one was alright. The toilet is also ok. They provide a key for the room locker, which is great if you don't have any Everything was alright
• Jonathan (10/5): -
• Mayumi (8/5): - 旧市街、ハイデルベルグ城の登り口にあり、ロケーション最高。 共有スペースではコーヒーをいただきなかまらゆっくりできた。また、女性用のシャワールームがあったのはとてもありがたかった。 特になし
• Karimi (9/5): -
• Philippe (10/5): - Super schönes Hostel im Herzen von Heidelberg. Unglaublich nettes und freundliches Personal. Man fühlt sich wie daheim bei Freunden.
• Hyunwoo (10/5): - les personnelles, ils étaient très gentile, et le service était aussi très generaux ! je vous le recommende fortement !
• Levin (10/5): -
• Manuel (10/5): -
• Mohamed (10/5): Exceptional experience - It is very clean, beautiful Nothing everything was more than perfect. I felt very welcomed.
• Alexandra (10/5): It was lovely! - It was clean, taken care of, thought through!
• fidan (10/5): Tek kelime ile “mükemmel” bir hostel. Temiz, samimi bir ortam, çalışanlar çok nazik ve ilgili. Ben çok memnun kaldım.Kon - Oldukça temizdi ve birçok ayrıntı düşünülmüştü. Gördüğüm birçok hostele göre daha ev havasında hissettirdi.Çalışanlar çok nazik, güler yüzlü ve ilgililer. Heidelberg geziniz için de konumu mükemmel. Mutfakta ihtiyacınız olan her şey var. Mutfak yanında bir oturma alanı var. Her şey çok güzeldi ben çok memnun kaldım.
• LUNING (9/5): フレンドリーな心地良いホステル - まずスタッフさんたちは素晴らしい。とても親切で、おすすめしてくれたところも全部よかったです。館内もきれいで共有キッチンとリビングルームが最高です。コーヒー、ハーブティー、牛乳、豆乳（ライスミルク?）のほかに、シリアル・グラノーラも何種類が並んでいて無料でいただけるから、朝に重宝しました。ありがとうございます。私は５人部屋に泊ったが、窓際にある単独のベッドを選びました。ベッドの大きさもマットレスのちょうどいい堅さもよかったです。２段ベッドから軋む音もあまり聞こえなかったので、作りはしっかりしていると思います。コンセントの場所が多く設けられて助かります。シャワールームとトイレもとても清潔で、主に朝か夕方にシャワー利用したが、待たずに済ませました。ここからお城に行くには徒歩15分だけなので、滞在中の朝方と夕方、毎日登ってました。宿を出てすぐのバス停からHBF行きのバスもあります。もちろん、大学にも近い。今度ハイデルベルクに行く機会があれば、またぜひ利用したいです。 鍵は３つもらいます。外の扉、部屋のドア、部屋の中のロッカーです。ロッカーの開け閉めはかなり音が大きいので、荷物整理時に時間帯を気を付けましょう。部屋のドアも少し軋む音がするので、深夜帰りもしくは朝出る時に、できるだけそっといきましょう。
• Daniel (10/5): - Friendly staff, free cereal, coffee and tea. Includes a locker with lock; it can hold a carry-on and a backpack. The location is good for walking to the castle

• YI-CHIH WU (9/5): Great choice for a budget trip - Location is the best, the host Carment is very helpful and friendly. She always helps us with big smiles. Room was tidy and comfortable. We will recommend it definitely.
• Emil (10/5): Perfect - Very good hostel. Friendly staff. I really liked everything. Thank you.
• Sjoerd (10/5): - Great location, next to the big castle (Festung) up the hill! It's very clean and they provide you with cereals and (unlimited) coffee in the morning. Staff is super friendly!
• Kristine (8/5): Lovely hostel - The hostel owner Carmen, was so welcoming - we appreciated it! The hostel is right next to the funicular station in the old town, and has everything needed for a comfortable stay. It was easy to walk to everything in the old town, which is beautiful, and parking was nearby in the underground car park.
• Ana (10/5): - Todo muy limpio. Habitaciones amplias. Podías acceder a café, leche, cereal y más gratis en la cocina ! Me encantó

• Dominik (9/5): Optimal for a short term stay, sweet and cosy - I paid around 26€ for one night with an additional 3,50€ for taxes and 1€ for a towel. The hostel is super sweet and the visitors were all pretty nice. The staff members were very friendly and forthcoming. Rooms were nice and living area was comfy too. The lockers are pretty noisy, the curtains are okay but I‘m glad I brought a sleeping mask. The hostel is next to a street that goes up to the castle so there might be loud people walking by in the night when you have the windows open. The mattress i chose was unfortunately pretty well worn, should be replaced in the future
• Halil (9/5): -
• Elizabeth (10/5): Fantastic hostel - great private room options as well as dorms - Large, clean private room with excellent shared facilities. We really appreciated the complementary tea/coffee and cereals in the morning. Incredible location.

• Yan (10/5): 棒！ - 能在Booking拿到9分以上真的不容易的，这家青旅实至名归，它值得这个评分。地理位置绝佳，离城堡很近，往上爬就是了。青旅的各个细节做的都很好，有在设身处地为出行者考虑，设施齐全，还给大家提供了咖啡机和牛奶，卫生也维持的很好，前台接待的Catarina热情周到，介绍了城里如何环线游览，非常感谢。加油了，继续保持！

• Chungyu (5/5): -
• Ronny (10/5): Das schönste Hostel was ich je gesehen habe. - Alles! Es ist ein gemütliches schöne Hostel, mit einer besonderen Atmosphäre. 🤔........mir fällt nichts ein!
• Fatemeh (10/5): A very cozy and welcoming stay — highly recommended! - The location is perfect, close to Heidelberg Castle ,Heidelberg old bridge and Heidelberg Old Town, all within walking distance. The staff were very friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I especially loved the cozy common areas with all the traveler photos and decorations. The only downside was the squeaky wooden floors and beds, which could be a bit noisy at night.
• Alan (10/5): - Tudo incrível. Há algo que torna o hostel especial e muito agradável de se estar, em uma atmosfera muito aconchegante, daquelas que fazem você se sentir em casa. Estou quase certo de que a simpatia da equipe que lá trabalha é central nesse sentimento de acolhimento que o lugar traz. Recomendo muitíssimo ❤️
• Gisela T (10/5): -
• HYEMIN (10/5): 너무 좋아요 - 여행자들을 위한 마음이 느껴지는 예쁜 숙소였어요! 가성비는 말할것도 없고 위치도 좋고 시리얼도 잘먹었어요. 문의사항에 친절하게 답해주시고 사려깊게 챙겨주셔서 잘 쉬었습니다😆
• Jonathan (10/5): Wunderschöne zwei Nächte :) - Für den Preis wirklich unschlagbar. Das Personal war super nett, das Hostel ist richtig schön und gemütlich eingerichtet und bietet mit der Küche und dem Aufenthaltsraum mehr als ich erwartet hatte. Die Lage ist zwar vom Bahnhof etwas weiter weg, aber für das Besichtigen der Altstadt und des Schlosses perfekt. Der schicke Dielenboden ist etwas knarzig, was im Mehrbettzimmer natürlich leicht stört, aber ich konnte trotzdem gut schlafen.
• Iza (10/5): Super - Het personeel was super behulpzaam en erg aardig. De locatie is perfect, dichtbij het kasteel en in het oude centrum. Fijn dat ze een vrouwen badkamer hadden. Jammer dat de vrouwenbadkamer maar 1 wc en douche had, dus soms moest je even wachten.
• Chuan Lun (10/5): - Cozy, clean, friendly
• Fabian (10/5): - Excelente atención. Muy lindo lugar y con muy buena ubicación.
• Martin (10/5): Ein tolles Hotel, in das ich jederzeit wieder gerne zurück gehen werde. - Sehr sauber und gemütlich sowohl im Zimmer als auch in den Gemeinschaftsräumen. Ruhig und gute Betten.
• Vítor Rafael (10/5): - The property is very clean and organized. It has plenty of showers available and I didn’t face any kind of waiting to take a shower. The location is excellent, just at the start of the castle path and close to the main street. I would certainly stay at Lotte - The Backpackers again in case I go to Heidelberg.

• Ulla Margrit (10/5): Tolles Hostel - Das Personal ist entzückend, alles ist super sauber und sehr gepflegt. Die Zimmer haben einen schönen Parkett und tollen Stuck an der Decke und für die Gepäckspinde gibt es zugehörige Schlüssel. Alles top, kann ich nur jedem weiter empfehlen und werde ich nächstes Mal auf jeden Fall wieder buchen. Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt.
• Sinead (9/5): Quirky & convenient - Bus stops very nearby. Excellent location. Nice chill area. Helpful stay. Comfy room. Room was off the kitchen but there was no noise
• kukava (10/5): -
• Ana Carolina (10/5): Amazing staying, lovely and very helpful staff! - I loved the staying, the staff was very friendly and helpful and the location was super!
• Yesenia Melissa (10/5): - La amabilidad del personal, cuando llegas te entregan un mapa te explican los lugares turísticos, te hacen un tours de todo el hospedaje, carmen, barbara son lo maximo.
• Asad (7/5): - Location is very ideal. One of the person in my room was snoring loudly and was disturbing the sleep of all others.
• Sarah (10/5): -
• Farah (10/5): The best hostel - I stayed at this hostel and it’s honestly the best one I’ve ever experienced. Its location couldn’t be better—right next to the castle and in the heart of the old town, which makes everything feel magical from the moment you step outside. What truly makes this place special, though, is the people who run it—especially Carmen and Barbra. They create such a warm, welcoming atmosphere that you immediately feel at home. In fact, the first thing I said to Carmen was, “It feels like home ✌️”. The hostel itself is full of character. The walls are decorated with photos from travelers who’ve stayed here over the years, and the bright colors bring so much life and inspiration to the space. One of my favorite parts was the well-equipped kitchen and the cozy living room. It’s the perfect place to sit, relax, and connect with other guests—you’ll definitely leave with new friends. I felt so safe, comfortable, and truly at home here. I hope you enjoy your stay as much as I did 🤍
• Antje (10/5): - Das schönste und gemütlichste Hostel in dem ich bisher war. Zauberhafte Einrichtung, super nettes Personal und Kaffee/Tee und Müsli gratis.
• YING PENG (10/5): -
• Alexandar (10/5): -
• McConnell (10/5): Kind, welcoming, cozy! - They were wonderful! Perfect location!
• Arrsh (10/5): - Great place, location couldn't be better, super helpful staff.
• Axling (9/5): -
• Franziska (10/5): -
• Miyuki (10/5): 最高 - 何も言うことがありません。最高です。キッチンに調理道具が揃ってるので、近くのスーパーマーケットで購入したものを調理できます。スタッフの女性も優しくとても親切でした。また泊まりたいです。ありがとうございました。 ないです。
• Kiefer (10/5): - Extremely outgoing and informative staff I only stayed one night
• maria (10/5): Vacanza in famiglia - Posizione ottima, cucina pulita e ben attrezzata, letti molto comodi. Le tende della camera 6 non erano abbastanza coprenti per le mie esigenze.
• Erya (10/5): Incredibly cozy and warm place to stay. Also the location is nice for tourists, love it. - The shared bedroom is just ordinary one you will see in other hostels, but it’s clean and bright and spacious, so not much to complain about. BUT! Its bathroom, toilet, kitchen, and living room are all incredibly clean and cozy, the owner really took a lot of effort maintaining the space. You can even tell their love to the house by decoration and arrangement of furnitures. It’s a really nice place to stay, if I’ll come back to Heidelberg again, that’s my first choice to stay. Roommates moving in the room might cause some noise, but that happens to all hotels’ shared rooms, so it’s not really a big deal to me.
• Christian (8/5): -
• Aryaee (10/5): -
• Francesco (9/5): -
• Luis Fernando (9/5): - The location was perfect and the bed comfy.
• Markus Frank (10/5): Sehr tolles Hostel - direkte Lage zum Schloß
• Dominador (10/5): Best hostel in Germany so far - Staffs speak to us to communicate, and not just for the sake of hi hello. They really do converse with the visitors with warmth and kindness! Place is cozy and homy! Perfect Kitchen- everything is available and free from milk to microwave and cereals! And someone washes the dishes ( hygiene maintenance) Zero
• vahidi (9/5): - Es ist sehr schön und gemütlich dort. Im gemeinsamen Wohnzimmer kann man sich gut mit anderen unterhalten und austauschen. Das Personal ist super freundlich und macht den Aufenthalt sehr angenehm! Super zentrale Lage, ich konnte alles bequem zu Fuß erreichen. Ich erwartete für ein Zimmer mit 6 Personen etwas günstigere Preise.
• Kateryna (10/5): Все супер!!! Рекомендую! - Нам очень понравилось расположение, центр старого города, возле знаменитого моста с обезьянкой, рядом кафешки, ресторанчики, крепость. Кухня оснащена всем необходимым для приготовления еды или перекуса. Бесплатно мюсли, молоко, чай, кофе это было приятно, как угощение от отеля.
• Nakazawa (8/5): -
• Elżbieta (10/5): Perfect hostel, excellent for that price - Definitely the nicest hostel I have stayed in! Whole place is spotless clean, super nice stuff, everything very well marked and the best location possible!
• David (10/5): -
• Süleyman (10/5): It was pleasant and comfortable stay - The location of the hostel is great. It is located in the center of Heidelberg Altstadt. The staff were very nice and helpful. We couldn’t arrive in time for check-in, but they assisted us in getting into the hostel without any problems. Another plus is that they offer nice coffee for free. We had a pleasant and comfortable stay.
• Paula (10/5): -
• ensags (9/5): - Konum harika. En kalabalık turistik bölgenin tam ortasında, kaleye 10 dk yürüme mesafesinde. Çalışanlar güler yüzlü ve yardımcı oluyorlar her türlü. Biz Türkler için temizlik özellikle önemli, bir hostele göre odalar, ortak paylaşımlı alanlar ve banyolar oldukça temizdi. Oda arkadaşlarından biri horluyuyordu. Bu biraz kötü şans. Ve oda gece havasız kalıyordu.
• Jeroen (9/5): - It is a very cozy place, lively and comfortable. They really put the focus in the guest exercise.
• Andrea (10/5): - Nice, cozy place. Great location. Complete shared kitchens, comfortable showers. Nothing wrong about it.
• cyve (9/5): - Perfect location, very clean, very nice place, very nice room, friendly staff. Large kitchen Bathroom not in the room itself (no surprise, just know it).
• Eduardo (10/5): - Ich habe mich während meines Aufenthalts sehr wohl gefühlt und kann das Hostel definitiv weiterempfehlen. Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit!
