We enjoyed our stay at the Goldener Falke. The location is directly on the Market Square ... fabulous. The restaurant serves wonderful German cooking and the breakfast was great. We had a room on the top (4th) floor. The lift only goes to the 3rd floor and then there are steep stairs to the top. We found this difficult with our luggage.
We had a great view of the castle from our room. The staff were very friendly.
The location, the staff, and breakfast were amazing!! The best place to stay for Christmas Markets.

Location. Best most comfy chair ever found in a hotel room (very important if have trouble sleeping). Location overlooking Christmas market. Wicked beautiful, energetic, city
Perfect place to stay - Rathaus / marketplatz view during the holidays! Close to everything and very helpful staff. Loved the charm of this old, authentic building.
Hotels.com show this hotel as having on site parking with an EV charger. It doesnt.. We arrived on a saturday afternoon with the streets heaving with people, all out for a walk, drink, food. Try as we might we could not get near to the hotel so ended up using an underground multi storey. We then walked to find the hotel and check in. This is when the hotel advised they dont have parking, nor an EV charger but have arrangements with one of the multi storey car parks, just not the one we were in. Is this a Hotels.com issue or the hotel. Either way it needs to be clarified.
That said we loved this hotel, even though the lift only went to floor 3 and we were on 4.
We had an early dinner here and then joined the mass of people walking the streets. The hotel faces onto the square, with views of the impressive church.
Staff was friendly and helpful. We had two rooms, views from both were amazing- one had views of market place and the other had views of the castle. Everything worked well.
Hotel is in old town square with very difficult access by car on very narrow streets, one-way traffic, and pedestrian-only areas. Parking structure is 2 small blocks away so must drag luggage through cobblestone streets. Once checked in . . . The location has good access to open pedestrian walking area shopping, bars, lunch and dinner. Room is adequate for 1 night stay. - very small shower, window opened facing a wall/building 2 ft away. Breakfast was a good German style buffet.
We would have given a 5 if the Laundry service was available. I specifically asked and booked this hotel because they said they had laundry service. We were told that laundry was not available because they needed the laundry for room linens
Awesome place to stay, staff are knowledgeable & friendly, food was excellent advise anyone traveling to Heidelberg to stay here, great view of castle from our room keep up the Great service 6 Stars
Loved the place. Very attentive owner. Bed was supper comfortable. Shower nice and hot. Location was great, right in front of church and short distance to bridge that takes you the philosophers walk. Breakfast was amazing.
