Der Europaeische Hof Hotel - Heidelberg, Germany 

I stayed there for one night in March 2008 as it was one of the better hotels in the Heidelberg/Walldorf area. Staying in Walldorf was not optimal for a variety of reasons and I preferred to stay in Heidelberg. This hotel is right next to the old town and a short walk from a number of shops, restaurants and attractions. The hotel is very nice and provides great rates in the off season (e.g. March). Euro for euro, it is fantastic value. Other things are a bit expensive - e.g. the breakfast and added items - such as cars, etc. The staff was generally very nice but I did find them somewhat pushy when it came to getting a car vs train, etc. I think that they were trying to make up for lost revenue (on the room) by the other activities. That being said, my experience was great and I would recommend this hotel.

Yes, this hotel is a bit old, but it has amazing character. My room was enormous, great bed and bathroom. Very comfortable for working in the room, as well as relaxing. The location is great, right near the mouth of the main shopping strip. Easy walk to the castle and great restaurants. The restaurant in the hotel was amazing as well.
