My mother booked this hostel for our trip to visit family and from the beginning they were awesome. My mother emailed a couple times and they actually replied back within a couple days. I know that isn't groundbreaking, but there are more businesses that don't reply. When we arrived we had to look for Hostel, there was not a big... More

I was really impressed by how nice Carmen(the lady at Lotte) was. I stayed for 4 nights in the girl dorm, and each day, Carmen had different activities for guests to join. One night we cooked Spätzler, a traditional German dish and we all sat together and ate. The other night was making the Easter egg. Not only did I... More

This was definately one of the best places I had stayed during my trip to Germany. While this is a hostel, this has an amazing double room option for couples, with a shared washroom. The host was super friendly and helped us with a lot of details, when to visit the casles, etc. The entrance of the funicular railway is... More

It was the nicest hostel I've ever stayed in. The host, Carmen, is really helpful and friendly. The lounge area is small, but nice, there's a book exchange program. Internet works everywhere, there's a smokers terrace, girls bathroom and general bathrooms. Big kitchen, and the beds are comfy. It is located in the middle of the Old Town and just... More

Loved this hostel!! Right at the base of the path that leads to the Schloss. Can walk the ten minutes like I did to the castle or take the Bergbahn/funicular railway (right outside the hostel). There are stairs up to reception- one flight. I stayed in the six-bed all-female dorm and had a great stay. One female-only bathroom with toilet... More

As I was travelling through Europa, I stayed in many different hostels all had their highs and lows. Lotte, in my perspective was. Perfect. All of the staff were so down to earth, all ready to engage in a conversation or allow you to get on with your own buds. Location wise. It was also perfect, the nearest pub is... More

I really enjoyed this hostel. We arrived a little early, but we were greeted warmly by Carmen who checked us in swiftly. She made an effort to get to know us, make sure we knew where the bathrooms and kitchens were etc. She even helped us carry our bags up the stairs! The rooms were excellent. Our room was very...

A brilliantly located hostel, in the shadow of Heidelberg castle. The staff are friendly and the place is clean and well kept. Good communal areas make for a hospitable and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend!
