“Spread across several buildings in Heidelberg's Old Town, the location is a real draw if you're looking to explore on foot. It strikes me as best suited for mobile travellers, or those packing light, given the pedestrian-only access. Rustic decor and proximity to local eateries make it ideal for experiencing Heidelberg's charm, especially if you appreciate the sounds of the city.”
