Highly recommended, has all you need.
The Boarding House Heidelberg is the perfect location for you to stay and explore the delightful city. The apartment was spacious with great decor, spotlessly clean, crisp white linen and a large comfortable bed. Only criticism would be the terrible pillows - suggest much better ones needed.
The apartment also gives you a spacious bathroom with powerful shower and hairdryer. The small kitchen area is fully equipped with all you need to rustle up food, a fridge, kettle and coffee maker with very good supplied coffee bags, whitener and sugars.
The room was very quiet with the windows closed but maybe noisier if they were needed to be open.
The lovely lady on reception was very friendly and helpful. We were able to park our motorcycle in the underground parking.
This place is a bargain price but offers so much, we would definitely recommend and stay here again.

The front door of this hotel never fully locked. Which meant anybody could walk in and out whenever they wanted to. Typically they had a key card access that would let you in and out if you were staying at the hotel, but that was broken. Which meant at any time of day any person who is not staying at the hotel was able to come in Had full access to the hotel. The floor that we were staying on had painting materials and looked like it was being redone. So when we woke up the next morning, there were gentlemen outside painting, and there was paint droplets everywhere, which is not ideal when you’re staying in a hotel and having to worry about not getting stuff on your clothes.

Nice spacious room. Excellent kitchenette with hot plate and microwave and fridge. Staff super friendly and were able to check us in early when we expected to just leave bags. A washing machine would have been top addition to kitchenette, or maybe a couple of machines in the basement, but I really can't complain and would most definitely stay again. Thank you!

So so
We enjoyed the property, and it was in the middle of everything in Heidelberg, but a couple of grapes. We have our that we paid for parking, and it ended up not having a spot so we had to jam ourselves into the parking lot, and at one point, we lost our key card and got back to the hotel, and no one was behind the desk, and it was not that late at night.

There was likely a gas leak in the room we stayed in. When we walked in, there was a strong odor I can't describe. We opened the windows and aired the room out before closing them and leaving to continue seeing the city. By the time we get back, the same strong odor was in the room again. I turned off the heaters and we aired the room out a second time. After turning off the heater there wasn't any smellup until we checked out the next morning. Aside from the smell/possible gas leak, the room was alright. The front door did not lock and there was an additional unlabeled switch at the front that cut all the power to the room. At some point before going to sleep one of us must have pressed that switch as when we woke up, none of the electrical worked and our phones had not charged until we realized what the switch did. Overall, it was a disappointing experience that, for me at least, subtracted from our stay in Heidelberg. I do think maybe it could have just been issues with our room in particular and some other rooms in some of the other buildings may be better. We stayed in one of the middle tier rooms for two adults and paid for vehicle parking separate.

My wife and I stayed for three nights. There were several problems both in communication by the hosts and in the apartment itself. We were only told by email at 13.30 on the day of our arrival at Heidelberg that the accommodation had changed from BoardingWorld to a Nomad Apartment in a nearby street. The BoardingWorld office was closed (it is only open 09.00-17.00), and access was by safe box and although we had registered as two guests there was only one keycard. (We got another the next morning). The apartment was up several flights of stairs with no lift. The bathroom door snagged on the uneven floor and would not open more than about 35cm. The apartment was very warm and the fan supplied was noisy and of limited use. There are two sets of curtains, one set was very thin and let the light in. The apartment has a small but neat balcony with space for two to sit at a table, and the small kitchen section (basically in a cupboard alongside the wardrobe) is ok for small-scale self-catering, but overall place was let down by a lack of attention to detail. A shame, because with a little more effort the accommodation would be OK.

Fotos sind nur beispielhaft!
Ich hatte über Expedia ein DZ mit Balkon gebucht und als ich eincheckte, bekam ich ein DZ ohne Balkon, noch dazu im EG in einem ganz anderen Gebäude. Das Zimmer war schrecklich und erfreulicherweise konnte ich ein anderes Zimmer - allerdings auch ohne Balkon - in der Rohrbacher Str. 32 bekommen. Generell wird es beim Buchen auch nicht deutlich gesagt, dass man zwar in der Rohrbacher 32 einchecked, jedoch in einem völlig anderen Gebäude landen kann...

Wir hatten ein großes Zimmer nach hinten, es war wunderbar leise im Hof. Klima funktionierte perfekt, sie war nur ziemlich laut. Leider hatten wir keinen Balkon, obwohl das in der Zummerbuchung als Ausstatungsmerkmal ausgewiesen war und ich mich sehr daruf gefreut hatte. Aber die meisten Zimmer der Häuser haben m.E. keinen Balkon. Es handelt sich um 6 nahe beinander liegende Boardinghäuser, man erfährt beim Einchecken, in welchem man untergebracht ist. Mails wurden immer schnell und vollständig beantwortet. Kaffee und Tee war auch im Zimmer, Spüli etc ebenfalls. Automatisches Einschecken mit Schüllselcode war auch sehr komfortabel. Ich würde es definitiv wieder buchen.
