Hotel Villa Marstall

The Heidelberg Hotel Villa Marstall is centrally located in Heidelberg’s Old Town. The good location is additionally emphasized by the river Neckar, which flows directly along the street next to the hotel. So if you step out of the hotel, you don’t have it far to the shore. From the shore you have a direct view of the Old Bridge, which can be reached with a few steps from the hotel. Also right next to the hotel is the Zeughaus Mensa in the Heidelberg Marstall.

The Hauptstraße can be reached, just like the bridge, in a few steps. From there you have free choice. Whether you take the ascent to Heidelberg Castle by mountain railway or on foot, go to St. Peter’s Church, or go on a shopping tour along the Hauptstraße. That is up to you. And it’s all within walking distance from the hotel. But if you would like to go to the Neckarwiese, on the other side of the river, the bus stop Marstall is right in front of the hotel.

If you would like to become a little more cultural, there are also some museums nearby, like the Studentenkarzer or the Kurpfälzische Museum. The Heidelberg Theater is also not far away.

Although the hotel is located right next to the busy street on the shore, this should not be a problem. The cars there do not drive too fast and are often interrupted by the pedestrian lights and the bus at the bus stop in their flow.

The villa in which this 3-star Heidelberg hotel is located was built in 1876. In 2006 the building was renovated and converted into a hotel. Because the hotel is only connected to another building by a wall, you will be more likely to notice it as if hidden between two houses. From the outside, the hotel is a little more inconspicuous, therefore, depending on from which side you approach it, you still have to keep your eyes open a little.

The reception of the hotel is open during the week from 7 am to 10 pm and on weekends and holidays from 8 am to 6 pm. You can check into your room from no earlier than 3 pm and must leave your room and check out by 11 am on your departure day.

If you book a room at Villa Marstall, you cannot take your dog or other pet with you. Animal companions are not allowed in this hotel.

Breakfast in this Heidelberg hotel is served in a vaulted cellar with underfloor heating. So you will definitely not get cold feet when going to the buffet in the early morning. If you don’t include breakfast in your booking, it will cost you and your children a few euros a day. Children from 3-6 years pay less and if you have a toddler up to 2 years old, they can even eat for free.

The rooms are cleaned daily. This means that if you don’t feel like making your bed in the morning, or if you have to leave very quickly, your bed will be waiting for you magically freshened when you return.

If your time in Heidelberg is over and you want to go back to the city to buy souvenirs after checking out, you can leave your luggage at the hotel while you are still in Heidelberg. The same applies if you reach Heidelberg before the check-in time.

The Hotel Villa Marstall offers you a wide range of different offers. For example, you can book a Cabrio Sightseeing Tour with an additional guided tour of the Old Town and a 3-course menu in the restaurant “Zum Güldenen Schaf”. If you would like to see the castle in Heidelberg as well as the castle in Schwetzingen, Villa Marstall also has an offer for you. If you would like to make a present to your loved ones, there is also the possibility to buy gift vouchers in this hotel.

In this Heidelberg hotel 18 rooms are spread over 4 floors. There is an elevator in the hotel so that you don’t have to carry your suitcases up to the fourth floor.

All rooms are equipped with a television, a small refrigerator, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi access, usually also a desk and additional seating, a safe, a hair dryer and a cosmetic mirror in the bathroom. Due to the fact that the hotel is almost standing completely free, the rooms have the very different views. Some point to the bank of the Neckar or to the Marstall, others to the old synagogue place.

In the three categories Classic, Superior and the Junior Suite there are even some rooms with the original historical ceiling or a historical sandstone wall with half-timbered walls. You won’t find the furniture in the rooms anywhere else, because the solid wood furniture was specially designed for the hotel. In the Junior Suite there is even a small kitchenette for you and you have a 270 degree view of the surroundings. This means you can enjoy the view of the Old Bridge and Heidelberg Castle from your room.

If you need an extra bed for your fellow travellers, you will have to pay for this with a little change, if you book in advance. If your fellow traveller is a child who is at most 6 years old, he/she is allowed to sleep in the parents’ bed.

Because the Hotel Villa Marstall is located directly on the B37, it is almost impossible to miss it. If you come to Heidelberg by car, just take the exit from the A5 onto the B37 at the Heidelberger Kreuz and follow it along the Neckar river. At some point you will see the Marstall and a few meters behind it is the Villa Marstall. If you arrive in Frankfurt am Main by plane and rent a car, it would be the same way via the A5.

But if you don’t rent a car, you can book an airport transfer directly through the hotel.

Unfortunately, the hotel does not have its own parking garage, but 2 parking garages are only a few minutes away by car. You could either park in P12 at Kornmarkt or in P13 at Karlsplatz. Both parking garages are close to each other, so you don’t have far to go if one of them is occupied. From the parking garages it is only a few minutes walk. If you have had a long drive and don’t feel like lugging your suitcases around anymore, you can also take the bus, which will usually take you longer than if you were walking.

If you are travelling by public transport, it is best to get off at Heidelberg Hauptbahnhof (main station) and change there to bus number 32 in the direction of Universitätsplatz. If your S-Bahn continues to pass through Heidelberg, you can also get off at the stop Heidelberg Altstadt and from there, for example, take bus number 35 towards Wieblingen or bus number 735 towards Heidelberg Hauptbahnhof to your Heidelberg hotel. If you don’t have a lot of luggage, you can also walk along the Neckar River from the Heidelberg Altstadt stop to your hotel and enjoy a first view of the bridge.

The Hotel Villa Marstall has the perfect location for those who want to reach all sights without having to walk a long way, but also want to walk comfortably along the Neckar in the evening.
