This boarding house enjoys a convenient location directly above Hemingway’s bar, on the fringes of the old quarter of Heidelberg. Come and stay here and enjoy the view directly over the rooftops of Heidelberg, and the majestic River Neckar. You could hardly find a more central place to stay than here, literally only around the corner from the vibrant and bustling Bismarktplatz. Drop into Hemingway’s bar downstairs and join the cult crowd, where you can enjoy a substantial breakfast, good-value lunches, dinners and fine evening entertainment.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.2 for a two-person trip.
