Lotte - the Backpackers Reviews

Hands down, this was the best hostel I've stayed at in Europe. While the facilities were excellent, the staff's incredible kindness truly made this place special. I arrived early after a night train, intending just to drop off my luggage, but was immediately met with a warm welcome. They even prepared a spot for me to rest well before the official check-in time, which was incredibly thoughtful and much-needed. The facilities are top-notch; they offer complimentary cereal, coffee, and tea in the kitchen. The location is also unbeatable, right at the foot of Heidelberg Castle, making it incredibly convenient for sightseeing. I would absolutely choose this hostel again on my next visit. Highly recommended! ☺️

Among all the hostels I stayed at during my 40-day trip across Europe, this one truly stood out. The front desk staff were incredibly kind and delightful. Even though I had booked a mixed-gender dorm and hadn't made any specific requests, they thoughtfully moved me to a female-only dorm. This made my memories of Heidelberg truly wonderful.

The location is fantastic, right next to the funicular station for Heidelberg Castle. The room was spacious, very clean, and decorated to feel really cozy. It truly felt like a home away from home.

For female guests, I'd recommend opting for the female-only dorm. Unfortunately, during my stay in a mixed dorm, I couldn't get any sleep at all because of extremely loud snoring. When I reported this to the staff upon waking, they provided me with earplugs. I strongly advise future guests to bring their own eye mask and earplugs, as the beds in the mixed dorm do not have blackout curtains. On the positive side, the location is excellent, being very close to the castle.

The front desk staff were incredibly friendly. I stayed in a dorm room and had to use a shared bathroom, but it was kept surprisingly spotless, which was a pleasant surprise. If I ever stay in a dorm again, I'd definitely come back here!

The staff were incredibly warm and attentive, the other guests were pleasant, the location is superb, and the overall experience truly exceeded expectations.

A youth hostel straight out of a fairytale, located near Heidelberg University.

Absolutely LOVE it, staff was very supportive and showed me around the hotel after the checkin. She also gave me some really useful tips for my stay.

Best hostel I’ve ever stayed in! Location is perfect, just below the castle and minutes away from the city centre, rooms are cozy, nicely-decorated and clean. Staff were helpful, showed me where to visit in Heidelberg. Lotte feels like home!

To be honest ,I have to say that I will back it again! That’s the best one hostel in my trip experience until now. The staff and I think who is owner of the hostel so so so nice 👍.She prepared everything for you and you will just like at home. Free oat for everyone and I was impressed by the cozy decorations. The location is good for visiting any sightseeings and nearby the station of telpher.That is a awesome hostel and I will book it again to enjoy Heidelberg castle 🏰.

Chatting with the backpackers is one of the must thing to do there. The vibe is nice there.

The overall hygiene and environment are good. There is a public kitchen where you can cook, a coffee machine, and you can boil water yourself. The price/performance ratio is quite good.

Increíblemente ameisin sissssssssssssssssssssssssss
