Tribal masks for "exotic' decoration isnt ok
The room was run down and old. The room theming is pretty problematic -- there were African tribal masks in the Dakar room, for example, that was just unquestionable appropriation. Staff were ok when they were around but usually had to flag a server from the connected restaurant for help. Not recommended.

Nice location and design
Good location (but some loud drunks in the main street). Cute room but bed not the most comfortable (more pillows would be nice).

Exceptional option for Heidelberg travel!
We booked the HIP hotel as it was near the local attractions that we wanted to see. The hotel was very clean, the rooms were exceptional and the staff was amazing. The hotel sits above a restaurant which is also incredible. We will stay here again when we return to Heidelberg!

Close to eyerything. If you need accessible room, the only room is Amsterdam, the room is nice, but bathroom awful, it’s really dated, old plastic and looks grubby.

Too high expectations maybe?
This was a pleasant hotel in a very convenient location. Friendly and helpful staff. The only issue was perhaps my expectations. I had read reviews describing how all rooms were themed and was therefore expecting something interesting but I was very underwhelmed by mine. It’s location in the hotel was ideal for me i.e. at the back and perfectly quiet but I was a bit disappointed especially when I glimpsed into another room as it was being cleaned - it looked fantastic.
Although my room was expensive (by my standards) perhaps there was another, more expensive, option? Although I did not see this.
In summary I enjoyed my stay but would not return unless I was sure I was getting one of the more interesting rooms.

Great hotel experience.
Made to feel very welcome at this quirky hotel in the Heidelberg Altstadt.
The hotel decor is a pleasing mix of old and new with themed bedrooms.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming.
We received a complementary drink on arrival, a glass of beer and a glass of Sekt in our case.
We didn’t eat at the hotel but the food looked good.
Excellent location for the Christmas markets, Neckar river, castle and shopping.

Great location, quirky hotel
The hotel is right in the middle of the old town so a great location. Our room was directly above the beer garden of the restaurant next door. This was a little noisy but all quiet by midnight on the four nights we were there. No air conditioning so all windows open which probably made it worse. We stayed in the Peking room which was quirky but comfortable. No tea/coffee making facilities. Bedside lighting not bright enough to read by.
