Hotel Zur Alten Brücke

Set right by Heidelberg’s old bridge in the historic Altstadt, this centrally located Heidelberg hotel puts Karl Theodor Bridge, Marktplatz and Heidelberg Castle within easy walking distance. Perfect for sightseeing and short city breaks, it’s also minutes from the Philosophenweg viewpoint and riverside strolls.

Rooms total around 18 guestrooms, including doubles, singles and suites, with some offering river-, bridge- or castle-facing views. Décor is warm and traditional with cosy public spaces and a romantic courtyard terrace for sunny mornings. Expect lively town sounds—church bells, courtyard chatter and occasional celebrations—rather than complete silence.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet, bicycles for rent, a garden and terrace, an on-site hair salon and small shopping options. There’s a picnic courtyard and parking in nearby zones; airport and area shuttles are available for a surcharge. Pet-friendly and walkable to many attractions for easy urban exploring.

A computer station and complimentary wired and wireless internet keep you connected. Additional practical services include dry cleaning/laundry, private check-in/out and multilingual staff to assist with arrangements.

A cozy on-site tavern serves excellent regional cuisine and pours drinks at the bar/lounge. Buffet breakfast is available for a fee (weekdays 7:00–10:00 AM, weekends 8:00–10:00 AM) and, when weather allows, breakfast can be enjoyed in the romantic courtyard.
