Reviews and Ratings

What past guests shared about their stay
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Am Schloss enjoys a superb location in the heart of Heidelberg, right at the foot of the castle and within easy walking distance of shops and restaurants; the funicular to the castle even shares an elevator with the hotel. Many guests have enjoyed the amazing views of the illuminated castle from their rooms, while others appreciated the convenience of on-site parking and the bus stop right outside. The breakfast offers a nice variety, though some guests have noted it can get crowded. The spacious rooms, some featuring kitchen areas and individual beds in the triple rooms, provide a comfortable stay.

small bathroomlimited privacy
The room felt quite cramped for a longer stay. it lacked air conditioning and relied on a large fan. This proved insufficient during warmer evenings. the bathroom was also quite small with minimal space for personal items. the windows allowed passersby to look directly inside, compromising privacy.
