    This hostel is in a perfect location- at the bottom of the castle, and in the heart of the…read moreAltstadt. It's clean and the beds are really comfortable. They have two routers for the wifi, so you still have connection in the attic. The staff are friendly and nice. It's slightly more expensive than other hostels I'd stayed at in Europe. I still think that given Heidelberg prices, it's totally worth it. The floors will creak and the walls aren't the thickest though, if you're a light sleeper (which I'm not). 5/5

    My best friend and I went on a European road trip of 6 countries in November of 2013. We didn't…read morereally have an itinerary, we just knew which countries we wanted to travel through (Belgium, Lux, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland) and our final destination (Venice, Italy). As we drove through Germany and consulted the myriad of travel sites, we decided to visit (and eventually stay) in Heidelberg... boy am I glad we did. From the popular Schloss Heidelberg to the less popular (but MUST SEE) the Nazi Amphitheatre: the Thingstatte, this town was one of our favorites. But one reason why this town was so wonderful was it's accommodations. We stayed at the Lotte: a backpackers haven and one of the cleanest, friendliest Hostels we stayed at while in Europe. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with friendly attentive staff. They weren't the normal attendants, but they were very knowledgeable, showed us around and gave us a great tip on cheap parking (the 11th parking lot for just 2.50 euro!) The bathrooms were super clean and they even had one that was just for the ladies. The beds were comfortable and they provided all linens, including towels. We stayed in a 5 bed co-ed and it was occupied by a super nice girl from California and a guy we didn't really talk to but was very respectful. There was no curfew and they had a super clean kitchen with cereal and coffee in the am. Also to note but we did not use was the balcony for smokers and a nice social room with lots of books and games. The decor was quite nice; the bedroom had a beautiful carved ceiling and was decorated very nicely... not your typical particleboard or rusty bunk beds. The location is also fantastic: Right at the foot of the Heidelberg Castle and minutes from everything the Altstadt (old town) has to offer. So if you are in the market for a beautiful little place with great value and awesome location, DO NOT VENTURE ANY FURTHER THAN THE LOTTE! We did go to Steffi's Hostel... If I were you, I wouldn't stay there... it is far away and smells gross. We went there first and there was no attendant and it reeked. Go to LOTTE!!! You will be happy you did!

    Best hostel I have stayed in! First of all, beds from 18€ (mixed 10 person room), super clean…read moreshowers, bathrooms, and beds, FREE bikes (20€ deposit returned), fully equipted kitchen, and outstanding staff. We stayed 5 days and met roommates from Italy, France, England, Germany, and America. Some were traveling and others, like us, staying while hunting apartments. Lockers are provdided in the room (bring a lock or rent for small fee) but everything didnt fit. I was worried at first but no one touched our things. Everyone was respectful at night but there are free earplugs at the front desk too. We were across from the common room and even full of people talking not a peep can be heard through the walls. The rooms have big windows to open and air out the room, individual bed lamps, and small shelves for top bunks to store small things. The kitchen has pots, pans, utensils, fridge (label you stuff and no one will touch your food), plates, cups, stove tops, and a mini oven. It can get crowded at meal times so you may have to wait for a spot. Dishes are to be washed and dried after use- most people follow this rule. There is a little market across the parking lot- Anatolia Market- with bread, fruit, veg, deli meats and cheeses, rice, pasta, snacks. For more options there is an Aldi down the street. There are 3 communal restrooms on the floors. They are clean and there was never a long wait in the 5 days we were here. Separately there are men and womens rooms with showers and sinks. There is warm water that lasts but you have to press the nob every 30 sec to keep the water on. Beware leaving anything in the shower room it will disappear! You can pay for breakfast- bread, meats, cheese, jam, nutella, cereal, tea, and coffee gor 3€. We did this for our stay but next time I can make breakfast for same price or cheaper. There is 24 hour tea & coffee available in the kitchen too! All the staff is super friendly!

    Steffis is awesome! It's located on top of a Lidl across from Heidelberg's train station. It's a…read more8-10 minute walk from there. They are located on the 3rd and 4th floors of the building. If you're carrying a lot of luggage, you better hope the elevator's doors aren't open upstairs. If they are, that elevator won't be coming for you. Steffis' staff is very welcoming. The hostel is cheap and offers several great amenities. There are several computers for accessing internet. For 5 Euro, you can get a lock for a room locker. The money is returned when the lock is. They also offer 3 Euro breakfast, 5 Euro pizza deals, and 1 Euro pretzels. Get to the breakfast early, though. The later you are (8:30/9am), the fewer options there are.
