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.

This was the cleanest, cutest, most centrally-located Hostel I've ever stayed in for the money. Absolutely worth it. And the staff were very friendly and helpful. I would like to come back and stay here when I have more time to explore Heidelberg ❤️

Burgfreiheit in Heidelberg features accommodation with free WiFi, 300 metres from Castle Heidelberg, less than 1 km from Heidelberg University and 3.2 km from Central Station Heidelberg. The property is around 18 km from Maimarkt Mannheim, 20 km from Luisenpark and 21 km from National Theatre Mannheim. The property is 2 km from the city centre and less than 1 km from Theatre Heidelberg.

what a relief this place is in times of all these expensive hotels! The room just had all you need, you share a kitchen and the bathroom with someone who lives there but Christian is a kind guy and you have all the privacy you need. The location is perfect next to the castle and you don't see it on the pictures but the place has a very cozy terrace where you can drink and eat. It is 10 minutes walking to the city center and if you take the stairs downstairs next to the castle you have a pleasant walk to get there.

    The structure of the apartment (everything is new and good) and the reception by the owner. Joachim is a great host. It's near the tram station, so it's easy to go and to come from "altstadt".

    Loved the hotel location overall. The forest around if makes it perfect for walks. The restaurant is great, it has a bit of a swanky vibe and you could see locals visit it regularly . It's particularly special at sunset, it enjoys amazing views. And breakfast was pretty special too, with a wonderful staff member from Cuba who was a true gem!

    Space for breakfast was limited so the hotel asked guests to choose a time "slot". This worked well. The location was delightful - beside a small, tree-lined square on which a cafe and two bars served food and drinks to (mostly) locals. The weather was good, so we walked everywhere.
