Feedback about Hotel Am Schloss from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Am Schloss is frequently praised for its superb location, just steps away from Heidelberg's heart, the Hauptstrasse, and even the funicular to the Castle. Many guests enjoy the stunning views of the castle and city from the terrace or their rooms. While some have noted that the municipal garage's parking spots can be rather small, the convenient access and discounted rate of €15 are often appreciated, along with the spacious rooms and plentiful breakfast options.

Fairytale Views and Friendly Faces

city viewfriendly staffeasy accesshotel garage
The room had a balcony. I found amazing views of the city spread out before me. The staff were so friendly. They proved to be accommodating to every request.. Parking in the garage is easy. It offers direct access to the hotel.
The single detail I would change is that the breakfast area felt a touch small when many guests were present. This meant a little wait at peak times. I'm sure the hotel will address it soon.

Acceptable Location. Some Disappointments

good parkinglack of air conditioningsmall breakfast room
This hotel provides very good parking because it is located at the top of a car park.
My room was too hot. There was no air conditioning. A simple fan was inadequate. The breakfast room was small given the number of guests. Service needed to be staggered.

The room was small. The shower was even smaller. The pillows were ridiculously large, so I felt uncomfortable. There was no air conditioning.

I found the staff helpful and attentive to my needs. The breakfast provided a wide variety of options that catered to different tastes. I was pleased with parking in the underground garage. It was convenient, secure, and offered direct access to the hotel. My stay was comfortable, and I appreciated the hotel's proximity to the funicular railway and main attractions.
My room was smaller than I expected, and the bathroom lacked sufficient counter space for toiletries. I found the limited space somewhat inconvenient .
