This is the most amazing hotel and the most attentive and well managed staff I have ever had the privilege of staying at and being served by. My daughter joined us for breakfast and I had just mentioned in passing that it was her birthday. Without any arranging by me, they brought her a birthday surprise at breakfast.

Heidelberg Suites is a boutique hotel on the site of a splendid villa with a private spa, which was originally built at the turn of the 20th century. The suites have been meticulously restored and stylishly designed by an internationally renowned architect and designer.

We were so very impressed with everything…staff, service, location, view, the room. We will definitely go back. We will also treat our son and daughter-in-law to a weekend getaway as they live nearby.

    Great hotel - newly refurbished and very stylishly decorated in contemporary style, much better than the photos. Very comfy bed, lovely bathroom (German plumbing is the best) and the staff were fantastic! The location was amazing, set up high on a mountain overlooking the stunning town of Heidelberg but with the advantage of a funicular to get you down into the town. The hotel is normally a high price point but we got a great deal on Booking.com partly thanks to my Genius discount.
