"TLDR: a comfortable hotel with a great gym and a few minor annoyances. Inconsistent shower temperature, shower flooding, and TVs with no ability to stream or cast. The hotel has an exorbitant credit card hold off €50 per night.
The Hilton Heidelberg has comfortable beds, quality linens, and black out curtains. It makes for a fairly comfortable sleep.
The room still has the archaic power key required for the room. This would be fine if the card wasn't lifted up when room cleaning takes place, as this turns the fridge off (thankfully my things survived, but the fridge shouldn't be on that control).
The shower was a mixed bag. It has two shower head options with ok pressure. Regularly, the shower will have temperature changes for a split second before returning to normal. The glass screen is also too short and the silicone strip used to prevent flooding onto the bathroom floor is a poor solution.
The TV is a large and modern LG flat screen. This would be excellent except that in true Hilton form, all streaming and casting is blocked. I asked about this and the receptionist told me that they are not smart TVs. (The "apps" and "smart" button on the TV remote say otherwise). I was advised of only 3 English language channels on the TV. It is absurd that in 2026, a 5 star international hotel chain cannot allow guests to cast their devices to the TV.
One free water is provided to the rooms each day.
The gym is quite new and features dumbbells to 20kg (up to 25 or 30 would be be"
"I would have judged everything about this hotel as excellent, but for an incident shortly before I left. The hotel is in a superb location, easy to get to by car, and with good parking facilities close by. The staff are welcoming and very helpful. After checking out on my final day, I asked a member of staff for a coffee to go. She happily agreed, but when she brought it to me she apologized and told me I would have to pay since breakfast had ended at 10 am, and it was now 10.10 am. It became apparent that the man on the desk for breakfast had issued this order. He had been a looming and unwelcoming presence throughout, and would not budge when I complained to him. A little flexibility and common sense was called for. And so I left the hotel with my impressions marred by unnecessary rigidity."
"Vine a Heidelberg por la graduación de mi hija y me alojé por 4 dias en el hotel. Desde el primer momento, fui recibida con mucha cordialidad y gentileza. Tuvimos el apoyo de Ivonne, en la recepción, quien nos atendió con mucha amabilidad. Al día siguiente, el día de la graduación, no había previsto hacer una reunión para celebrar, pero recibimos la vista de varios amigos y, el hotel, a pesar de que estaba reservada para una fiesta privada, nos permitió quedarnos en la hermosa terraza junto al río para brindar por el logro de mi hija. Nos atendió Anastassia, quien nos sorprendió por hablar perfecto español y nos brindó el mejor el servicio posible. La cena fue increíble. Me sentí como en casa, con confianza y relajada. El hotel me encantó!!"
"The hotel was clean and is in an excellent location for bus / tram stops. 2 stops away from Bismarkplatz and 5 away from the castle. Parking was €20 per day but the Premier Inn don't have many spaces so it is first come first served. No draught beer available in the bar but prices reasonable for a city and the 50% off Happy Hour between 5 and 7pm is great! One member of staff in particular was very helpful and friendly - Poala (hope I have spelled in correctly!). Breakfast was €17.90 per person with kids eating free but you had to be quick to get the bacon as it soon disappeared when there are 100+ guests and a tray of bacon had about 12 rashers!"
"Apparently the usual process is to receive a lock box code which gives access to the room key.
This didn't happen and although there was someone in the restaurant on the ground floor, waiting for others (it turned out) to make the place ready for service, he just shouted at me through a locked (glazed )door, then ignored me.
Thankfully the other staff who turned up were kind, helping me to retrieve the key.
The room, though clean and with a nice bed, was like an oven, and the hotel was more like an unstaffed lodging house. There were WiFi codes posted on the entrance code, and a bottle of water in the room.
There was a safe, also, but no key or any other welcome information.
I was wary when I saw there was just one previous rating, markjng it a 10. Hmm, I wonder who did that?"
"Was a bit of battle damage on the door to the bathroom I noticed but not something that would make or break a stay here, just something for the caretaker to look at!"
"After considering a few well rated modern hotel chains I decided to plump for this wonderful period hotel located besides the wonderful Mannheim water tower
The prices for a solo traveller were incredibly reasonable, staff were great and really nothing to fault.
There’s something about a historic property that newer places can’t emulate."
