Steffis Hostel Heidelberg

Super close to the main train station, as well as bus and trams so very easy to get to old town, and shops. Very clean rooms, toilets and kitchen. Kitchen and dining area well equipped and very usable. Beds comfortable enough. Very quiet.

Not much privacy in beds and power available through extension leads. Upper bunks have no space for keeping small things like phones, chargers. Ask for a lower bunk. Showers have timer.

Good value for money and perfect location, but with some extra costs I stayed in a 6-bed female dorm. It is a very practical and decent place to stay, though not necessarily "luxurious" or super comfortable. The room was equipped with bunk beds, a small round metal table, two chairs, a fan, a clothes rack, and a bin. Each bed has its own reading light and a socket, which is convenient. The hostel facilities are good. There is a large, fully equipped shared kitchen with two fridges, a stove, a microwave, a kettle, and plenty of dishes. There is also a small common room to relax in, and an elevator in the building. Breakfast is available to order. The location is a huge plus — very close to the main train station, with bus and tram stops right around the corner. A grocery store is also nearby. They also have a luggage storage room at the reception, so you can safely leave your bags if you arrive early or leave late. Overall, it was a very quiet, peaceful stay, and the staff at the reception were very friendly and welcoming. It's a solid choice for a short stay if you are prepared for the extra fees!

However, there were a few things I didn’t like. You have to pay extra for towels, so it's much better to bring your own to save money. Also, while there are metal lockers for your luggage, you have to buy or bring your own padlock to lock them, which is a bit inconvenient. On the positive side, fresh bed linen is included for free.

It was a close to the station.

The shower was overhead shower and it stops automatically every 3mins.
