Ontzettend vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel.
Couldn't ask for a better location. Great access to the old town and the castle, reasonable walk from the train station. Staff were friendly and above and beyond at being helpful. Nice touches such as coffee, cereal, affordable drinks. Fun funky atmosphere.
No complaints. It was great.
very good location for the old town, though a bit far from the train station. Staff is supper nice and accommodating. The place feels homy.
Room a bit too hot for me, but it was during the very hot summer 2026, so have to take that into account. The bathroom is a bit uncomfortable being shared male/female

The staff very helpful, soooo clean, family vibes, looks like you are living in yohr grandma house
accueil très sympa, une belle vieille maison dans la vieille ville au pied du château. Et à disposition des petites choses à grignoter à la cuisine, de quoi se faire un bal de flocons d'avoie par exemple. très apprécié!
c'est vraiment un tout petit détail: quand on va à sa douche c'est un peu l'acrobatie pour poser ses affaires car il n'y a pas de tablette ou tabouret
Freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal, sauber und bequem, familiär Atmosphäre, gute Lage zur Sehenswürdigkeiten
Nichts zu beschweren
非常好的体验,干净卫生,交通便利,位置就在城堡脚下,很多在纸上创作的作品,才华横溢,体验很棒,下次还来

Amazing location, clean and comfortable! I enjoyed my stay
Super Lage, mitten in der Stadt, unmittelbar an der Bushaltestelle vom Bahnhof. Sehr professioneller Check-in, wie in einem fünf Sterne Hotel. Sehr schön eingerichtet mit liebe zum Detail. Kleines Frühstück inklusive. Alles wunderbar. Mit Abstand das beste Hostel was ich kenne in Deutschland.
Die Matratze war total durchgelegen. unbequem, furchtbar, ich konnte nur auf dem Rücken schlafen, wie in einer Hängematte.
Super cute vibes! All the staff were super kind. Great common areas for socialising with other travellers!
The stay at Lotte-The Backpackers was excellent. Ms. Carmen is a wonderful host and tried to see the comforts of her guests with utmost sincerity. The most noted aspect of Lotte is that Ms. Carmen is giving milk and cereals without any extra cost and one can have it any time. The place is very cozy and I loved the decors with an artistic touch everywhere. The location is excellent close to restaurants and shopping areas. Lotte is in the old city of Heidelberg and one can just walk to all important places around. The property also has smooth connectivity to other places in Heidelberg. The place was recommended to me by one of my co-workers who stayed at this property an year ago. Definitely, I will also recommend Lotte to my relatives and friends. Thank you Ms. Carmen for the wonderful place!!! Best regards-NK
Nothing special. Everything was just perfect.
Great atmosphere. Very central

Nous n'avions pas bien compris que nous n'avions pas de kitchenette pour notre chambre. C'est une cuisine pour les 3 chambres
Perfect host, location and a lovely, cozy place for all the travellers around the world. The hosts are so adorable and helpful. I stayed here for 2 nights and already felt like home.
Staff were excellent and helpful.
Waanzinnig schoon, kleinschalig en knus!

Everything supported
People have different schedules and check-in times, and some guests’ rest times are really quite late.
Heel leuk hostel op goeie plek, superleuk ingericht, mooie grote kamer, plus gezamenlijke keuken en fijne badkamers. Vriendelijke ontvangst, gratis koffie en cereals. Uitzicht op het kasteel vanuit het keukenraam.
Niks
Das Hostel hat wirklich eine tolle Lage, die Atmosphäre ist super entspannt und das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Die Gemeinschaftsbäder und Küche waren super sauber. Die Betten waren sehr bequem.
Da unser Zimmer gegenüber einen Parkhauses bzw. in Richtung einer kleinen Gasse lag, haben die Geräusche von draußen sehr gehallt.
just about everything, bed was super comfortable and relaxing on the back staff (Carmen, Barbara and Katarina) were very kind, friendly and helpful
nothing really just very minor tweaks like having green tea but that is a mere quibble
Friendliness. Facilities fine. Location very good for the castle, main street, walk over the bridge with views.
Maybe we should have taken a bus from the station.
Все, навіть не сподівалася на сервіс та увагу до деталей у хостелі, тим паче в Німеччині, маючи багато попереднього досвіду. Але хостел приємно вразив. Врахували прохання щодо ліжка, також система зрозуміла для пізнього заїзду. У жіночій ванній навіть є заколки з якими зручно приймати душ або сушити волосся, раптом ви забули свої і вже підписано, що безкоштовно, користуйтесь. Також є пластівці та кава. Взагалі прекрасно вивчалася, як вже давно не спала. А локація прямо під замком в самому центрі старого міста.
Не знайшла недоліків
廚房設備齊全,有免費的咖啡及專門給女生用的衛浴間
用餐區偏狹窄沒辦法容納很多人
Just in the middle of Heidelberg, amazing location … everything is nearby
Really good place, but the kitchen doesnt have a separste room for the living room . So if you are working o just chilling , and people is cooking you get all of the smell
Unfassbar nettes Personal und die Lage hätte nicht besser sein können. Ausstattung war mehr als erwartet und alles war sauber. Ich hab mich in dem Hostel super super wohl und willkommen gefühlt. Ich bin mit meinen Hausschuhen durchs Haus gelaufen, als würd ich bei Oma zu Besuch sein, daran hat mich zumindest das gemütliche Wohnzimmer erinnert.
Alles top, 10/10
The staff were super friendly

personale cordiale e disponibile. mi sono trovato benissimo. posizione perfetta, vicino al centro di heidelberg e ai luoghi di interesse , ben collegato con i mezzi. c'era tutto quello che serviva, cucina ben attrezzata, salotto e in camera non mancava nulla.
Literalmente el mejor hostel al que fui en mi vida.
Emplacement, chambre et propreté : rien à dire très bien !
Peut-être la difficulté quand les clés restent dans la chambre.. on reste bloqué dehors !
Mooie locatie, goede bedden. Fijn dat de fietsen binnen gestald konden worden.
在景区内 交通便利 房间宽敞 厨房用具齐备 员工服务好
L'ambiente
Best Hostel that I have been there. It was really clean and staff are nice and friendly. You don’t have to wash your dishes . There are coffee and Tea and Muesli for free. There are also card games there to have fun and spend time with others.
Le personnel était aimable, le logement propre, très facile d’accès et conforme aux descriptions
Very friendly staff, very clean, and it had all the facilities I wanted. Good location. Recommended to anyone. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Première expérience dans une auberge de jeunesse, dans l'ensemble c'était une belle découverte.
Le seul bémol de tout le séjour, c'est l'absence d'un rideau pour les lits de dortoir. Pourtant il y a bien un rail d'installé. Peut-être que ça ne concernait que mon dortoir. Un léger manque d'intimité, mais bon c'est un détail.
herzliches Personal, heimeliges Inventar

Schoon en gezellig
Total nettes Hostel. Die Einrichtung ist sehr schön, ca 70er Jahre Stil 😊. Wir lieben das. Es ist einzigartig. Außerdem war es sehr sauber. Auch unter der Kommode.( Mir ist ein Schmuckstück runter gefallen). Des weitern gab es leckeren Kaffee und Müsli zur freien Verfügung. Das Personal an der Rezeption und auch Reinigung sind sehr nett und freundlich. Die Zimmer sind sehr gut verteilt. Bad/Toilette bequem von der Größe und genügend zur Verfügung sowie sauber. Es ist deutlich, dass auf Sauberkeit wert gelegt wird.
Von der Straße her kann es etwas laut sein. Es gibt manchmal laute Passanten. Es gibt keinen Aufzug.
Very clean hostel, in exceptionall location, really nice and kind stuff and very cozy environment. I totally recommend it.
Lotte ist mitten im Zentrum, stellt kostenlos Kaffee und Müsli bereit und die Zimmer und Badezimmer sind sauber, neu und einfach schön.

Es war wie immer unglaublich freundlich, sauber und die Lage ist perfekt.
Posizione più che ottima

I really liked the fact that there was oat milk for breakfast. Vegan food should be promoted, even in hotels.
I had a wonderful stay here. The hostel felt incredibly warm and welcoming, more like staying in a cozy home than in a hostel. The common area was comfortable and inviting, making it easy to relax and naturally connect with other travelers. Everything was very clean, and the atmosphere had a calm, pleasant feeling that made me want to spend more time there. During my travels, I am usually out exploring all day and rarely stay in the hostel, but this was one of the very few places that actually made me want to slow down and enjoy being there. The location was also excellent, within walking distance of both Heidelberg Castle and the city center. I would definitely stay here again.
Auberge très bien située, le personnel était très accueillant et toujours souriant ! Nous avons passé un agréable séjour
Naprosto pohodový pobyt v útulném, s láskou řízeném rodinném penzionu / hostelu. Vše dýchá čistotou a vše je tak "obyčejné", že se člověk tu hned cítí jako doma. A tolik úsměvů, co rozdaly ty dvě laskavé dámy v recepci, nepotkáš kolikrát ani doma :-) Celé město Heidelberg mělo velmi příjemnou, až nečekaně "mediteranskou" atmosféru, určitě bych se chtěla někdy sem vrátit a lépe se s nim seznámit (anebo zase jen tak pokochat).
Že celá má návštěva trvala pouze jednu noc.
Ich war begeistert von der Lage und der Ausstattung
Ich fand wirklich alles gelungen
mon sejour etais parfait

Everything - the location, the dorm rooms, kitchen, living area. Everything was better than expectations

This was one of the best places I've ever stayed, including hotels and airbnbs. The location couldn't be more perfect, central yet quiet. The building is lovely and has a nice patio and great communal facilities including kitchen and sitting room. The staff go above and beyond and everything was very clean. It was amazing!
There was nothing I didn't like
Zentral, freundlich, sehr sauber, tolle Ausstattung in der Küche, WG Feeling
Excellent, definitely the best stuff. Much appreciated!
The parking garage next door has white lights that shoots directly into the room, however they have thick curtains!! I personally don’t drink tap water so that was a problem for me too!
Konumu çok iyiydi. Mutfağında ihtiyaç duyulan herşey vardı.
Gece geç saatlerde odada konaklayan gençler çok gürültü yaptı. Uyuyamadım, tesis bu konuda gençleri uyarmalı.
The location is great. Everything was clean and the beds were comfortable.
Bathroom, toilets and the kitchen are on a different floor, which is inconvenient.
Le respect de mon choix concernant le niveau du lit vu mon âge et biensur l accueil ++++
Superb location

Rundum ein unglaublich toller Aufenthalt
Er hangt een hele fijne sfeer, staff was super vriendelijk, en de andere reizigers ook!!
Wij zijn gaan reizen in de hittegolf periode, er waren alleen kleine fans op een tafeltjes gezet. Overdag stonden de ramen wel open, maar snachts was het erg pittig om te slapen in de hitte.
Locatie leuk
1 tafel ventilator...klein...voor 5 man in kamer...niet kunnen slapen door hitte. Personeel aangesproken...sorry...sorry Je kunt natuurlijk ventilatoren kopen! Ja ja Maar nee doen. Huiskamer stond er ook 1...daar willenneten ..weg...??? Ja moest naar een kamer waar niks stond en gasten kwamen. Geen 9.5 waard....ga er nooit meer blind op vertrouwen.
The location and staff were exceptional
A bit small but cozy
Location is ideal
A bit noisy
