About this property

Old town legend - studio for 2-3 people between market square and castle.

You spend the night in the heart of the old town of Heidelberg in a historic house on Oberbadgasse, which is located just opposite the former city wall. In medieval times the house was one of the city's public bath houses. In the 18th century the rooms on the ground floor were used by craft businesses. Later it was the home of a student club that became in the late 60s one of the first "gay clubs" in Germany, the popular “Whisky a GoGo”. Today you sleep on the former dance floor.

The valley station of the funicular to the castle is on the doorstep. You can also reach the castle on foot via 315 steps. A public parking garage (19.50 € per day) and a bus connection to the main train station are in the immediate vicinity. The central market square and the numerous restaurants with their outdoor catering are only a few steps away. The striking Church of the Holy Spirit, the baroque town hall, and the renaissance building "Zum Ritter" are located here. The market square leads to the miles long pedestrian zone, to the “Untere Straße” with its small trendy bars and to the “Steingasse”, which leads to the Old Bridge at the river Neckar, another landmark of Heidelberg.

The fully equipped apartment is barrier-free, and it has a shower-bath, a pantry kitchen, a large double bed and an additional bed for one person.

Parking: 19,50€/24h Parkhaus Kornmarkt/Schloss P 12.
17,50€/24h Parkhaus Karlsplatz P 13.
Free parking, e.g.:
"Stiftweg" with a nice walk along the river Neckar or "Parkplatz Messplatz" (Harbigweg) with a bus connection.

Room was clean and quiet. Was here on new years. Crazy with the fireworks and stuff. But once the door closed it was all quiet. Pillow and bed were ok. Location was awesome. Next to parking garage and little car that take you up to the castle. Old bridge and Christmas markets are a minute walk.

We absolutely loved staying here. The location was ideal, right in the Altstadt and near the funicular to the Castle, the Alte Brucke, the Church of the Holy Ghost with its magnificent views, and the Philosopher's Walk. You really get that immersive experience. We parked in the parking station, and even it had amazing views. I think you really get a true experience of being in Heidelberg here.

Late Spring Visit

Second time staying here. Perfect location for access to old city, just 1 min walking to Rathaus. Public transportation drops and picks up right at property. Do prefer the Christmas markets but so nice to sit outside and enjoy drinks .Close to bakeries for a peaceful morning walk.Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

We could not have had a better place to stay in Heidelberg. The location was right by a bus stop, the funicular to the castle, and just down the street to enter the Market Square. We felt like we had walked into a fairy tale. The space was comfortable, had everything we would expect and more. The host replied immediately to any questions. Everything was very clean. We would definitely recommend this space or return if we are ever in the area. There was no need for a car as everything is within walking distance including a bakery that opens at 8am and a grocery store for reasonably priced items.

Heart of the Altstadt

Perfect little gem just off the Marktplatz in Heidelberg’s beautiful Altstadt. No frills, but clean and comfortable. You cannot beat this location. Easy walk in and walk out. Easy access to public transportation. Spend your time walking the pedestrian areas and enjoying restaurant and bar outdoor seating! Highly recommend!

Fabulous location

This was a wonderful, small and cozy studio apartment. The living area with futon sofa bed was fine for my son. Easy to access the Christmas markets, restaurants (try the Turkish place next door!), Alstadt and walks on the Philosopher's Way.
