Liked: Lotte is situated in the absolute best location for enjoying the best that The Old Town section of Heidelberg has to offer. It is by far the cleanest and most characterful hostel I've ever stayed at.
Disliked: The size of the towels are a bit small but they were free so really there's nothing to complain about!

Liked: Location, common room, free breakfast, kitchen, free wifi, free computer - everything was amazing!! I've stayed in at least thirty hostels in my life and this was definitely in the top five. Carmen, the woman who runs the hostel on her own, acts more like a friendly host than a person with a business. She sent me to fantastic coffee shops, breweries, and sights that the usual tourist would never come across. The hostel is literally as close to the famous castle as you can get, and it's right next to the longest shopping street in Europe. The kitchen was great - huge, free coffee, tea and cereal at all hours, and you don't have to do your own dishes. The common room was made for chilling with other backpackers - I met lots of cool people there. The dorm rooms were huge, very clean, and came with lockers. Wifi was free and worked throughout the hostel, and there was a free, updated desktop computer as well. I highly recommend Lotte!!!

Liked: Very central location, only 5 mins uphill to the castle and right in the centre of the old town. Beautiful old building, very nice spacious dorm, lovely kitchen and living room, very communal feel in the hostel. Carmen, the owner, is lovely and very helpful. All day cereal, tea and coffee was great! The entire hostel was spotlessly clean. Plenty of showers and toilets.
Disliked: It was a bit expensive but definitely the worth it, maybe a bigger breakfast would have been nice.

Yes, we´re working on that. Cereals, tea, milk and coffee are there all the time - so we don´t count that as breakfast. We think about a cooperation with a nearby café.

Liked: Conveniently located and friendly.
Disliked: A more thorough description of what is available/how things work would help. Maybe having this information written down and available would be helpful. It is a very good hostel though.
