Recent Reviews in Heidelberg

Hilton Heidelberg

8/10 Good

"The rooms were clean and beds were very comfortable. I didn’t expect much from this hotel, but it was honestly really nice inside. The reason for the four stars are not five is because the breakfast situation can be better. On the weekends they close to breakfast buffet at 11 AM but at 10:50 AM the coffee machines were already down. One worker said it’s because they were closing in 10 minutes. But it’s not a big place so you would think the workers can go around and kind of let the guest know that they’re getting ready to clean up. Also, I didn’t pay for the breakfast, but I ended up having it every morning through my entire stay. The waitress on the third day told me I should pay up in the reception area so I can get it for $22 instead of paying for the $28. When I went to the reception, the lady said the $22 is only for when you first come to the hotel and have to add it on. That six dollars isn’t going to make or break me but the point is the lack of communication everyone has Other than that it was a good hotel to stay at."

When is the best time to go to Heidelberg?

The best time to visit Heidelberg is during the spring (April to May) or autumn (September to October) for pleasant weather and fewer crowds.During these shoulder seasons, the weather is typically mild and sunny, superb for exploring the city's historic sites and the Neckar River. Spring brings blooming flowers, especially noticeable in the university gardens and along the Philosopher's Walk, while autumn offers beautiful foliage across the surrounding hills. You'll find the main attractions, like Heidelberg Castle and the Old Town, are busy but not overwhelmingly so, making for a more relaxed experience.Summer (June to August) is also a popular time, with warmer weather and a full calendar of outdoor events and festivals. However, this is peak tourist season, meaning larger crowds and potentially higher prices for accommodation and flights. If you don't mind the bustle and enjoy a lively option, summer can be a good option.Winter (November to March) is the quietest period. While it can be cold, the Christmas markets bring a festive spirit to the Old Town from late November through December.
