About

Lotte Hostel is a unique old house. It is situated in the heart of old town Heidelberg and it's very close to the historic castle, the main shopping street, bars and restaurants. We are an independent hostel. Get to know our friendly staff and the owner and have a chat about who Lotte actually was.

This homely house offers eight guestrooms only, each with a stylistic individual interior decor and with an ambience of living-room cosiness of a family home.

On the ground and first floor of this lovely old house we offer you newly renovated and refurbished dormitory-style accommodation. One dorm is for girls only - they also have their own bathroom close by. Use our new grandma-style kitchen or the cosy living-room.

On the second floor you are welcome to choose from three 60's-style double-rooms. They share two bathrooms and one kitchen.

Looking for a place to work? We offer fast, reliable WiFi throughout the hostel, work desks (in most rooms) with power outlets, and from October to March an extra room with desks, usually available from Sunday to Friday. See early booker rates (minimum stay 4 nights).

10/10 hostel!! It’s decorated like a home (very comfortable), the bathroom is very clean, the staff is amazing, there’s free food and coffee, and it’s located right at the base of the castle stairs so it’s not too loud outside 🕺
