We have very mixed feelings on the place. The people were friendly, especially the sweet Jamaican housekeeper and the sweet lady at the breakfast. The owner seemed friendly but ambivalent. The other reviews are correct though- the rooms are terribly outdated and the noise is almost unbearable. Even on the top floor on a nasty cold Tuesday night, we could... More

Having looked at other reviews on Tripadvisor and the gasthaus website, this seemed like a really nice place, so we booked. First impressions - the reception desk is at the back of the bar right next to the kitchen, and was not a welcome sight, seeming to be quite messy and cramped. Once we got the key there was a...

An internet marketing con. Beware !!! This outdated and unfashionable B&B / Gasthaus needs to seriously update it's image or lower it's punitive tariff. The outdated and dingy hotel rooms are adorned with decor that harks back to European Youth Hostels in the 1980's. Walls that are so thin that you hear other guests in their rooms coughing, talking, visiting... More

Perfect location for seeing all the sights of Heidelberg's old town. We parked in the P12 parking structure (talk to reception before you leave to get a discount on parking here), which is a quick walk across the Markt plaza from the Hackteufel. We didn't need to get the car until the end of the weekend when we were leaving,... More

This old gasthof is situated in the old town of Heidelberg with the Christmas market few steps away. Our room was average standard, well functioning and quiet. The restaurant serves traditional well-prepared German food.

A welcoming and warm location run by a family in the heart of the old town. Parking here is a little tricky-but if you get the staff to assist it works well and you don’t need the car to see everything in Heidelberg. We stayed in late September 2012 in Room 12 in the attic. There is a lift to... More

You can't get much more central than the Hacteufel--located at the foot of the old bridge. The rooms are large and clean, the breakfast great and the staff helpful. Wasn't impressed with the kitchen but maybe it was jetlag as it was our first night.

Poor, unattentive and rude service ruined our visit to this place for us. Our party of four sat outside first, just wanting to order coffees and cake, it just wasn't happening, the waitress was maybe overwhelmed with other guests??? No idea... when it all of a sudden started to rain like mad and we rushed inside, asking if we needed... More

We booked this hotel via Internet and you never really know quite what to expect. We had a very warm welcome on arrival and help with where to park our car. We arrived early so our room wasn't ready, but there was no problem with leaving our luggage. Our room was on the very top floor, accessible by a lift,... More
