Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Heidelberg
For most travelers, Frankfurt Airport (FRA) is the clear primary choice: it is the closest international hub with superior direct rail links, making it the fastest and most cost-effective gateway to Heidelberg. While not located in Heidelberg—it serves the nearby city of Frankfurt—its massive flight network makes it indispensable. Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden Airport (FKB) serves the city of Baden-Baden and is a secondary option, typically reached by taxi or car rental, suitable for budget carriers. Hahn Airport (HHN), also in a separate city, is a very remote facility primarily catering to low-cost airlines, requiring lengthy and often expensive ground transfers. Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN), located in the Cologne/Bonn region, offers excellent high-speed train connectivity, which can be competitive if flight prices are significantly lower. Finally, Augsburg Airport (AGB) is the least practical for Heidelberg due to its distant location in the Augsburg region, involving long travel times that generally do not justify the transit effort unless specific regional flights are required.

It was scorching hot during our two-day stay. Even though there was air conditioning, we really wanted some ice water! Unfortunately, the mini-fridge in the room wasn't cooling, so we had to ask the front desk to store our drinks in their fridge. That was quite a letdown. On the bright side, there's a sports park nearby, perfect for a post-dinner stroll.FromUS$73

This is one of the few privately owned five-star hotels in Europe. It is indeed a five-star hotel in terms of rooms, services, breakfast, etc. The room is European style, simple and comfortable, and it is worth experiencing. A room for 3 people can have an extra bed, which is a wall bed, which is relatively rare. It was a surprise on this trip to Europe.FromUS$292

I booked a hotel a month ago, and I didn't choose to cancel at any time because I had to go out. But on the day of booking, my friend asked me to stay at her house, and when I asked, the hotel said I couldn't cancel. I told them that it was my birthday and I wanted to change my plans at midnight, but they wouldn't let me cancel. I feel like Ctrip members are useless in Europe. The hotel didn't let me cancel according to the policy, and I have no problem with that, but I will never choose Leonard next time. This was my first and last visit. It looks very close to the old town on the map, but it's not. It takes about 15 minutes to walk to the train station, and the old town is about the same. I personally think the location is not good either. There is only one Aldi supermarket nearby, and Kaufland is about one stop away.FromUS$95

Hotel front desk service is very good. It is a very old hotel, the key we used feels like the 18th century. Most rooms have terraces. It feels like a typical German country-style hotel with a good view around. It is about 10 minutes drive from the King Lake boat ride and about 30-40 minutes walk.
The bed is soft and the bathroom is small.FromUS$125

Stayed 2 nights here and simply loved it! Look at the photos, it has practically everything you need and I like that Hotel works very systematically. There is a nice refrigerator with freezer compartment.
This chic studio utilises every space and has alot of storage. Great for those with long stays or who has a heavy baggage that needs organisation. If I’m not wrong there is a self service laundry in the hotel. There is one coffee machine in the room with 3 types of flavors-normal, decaf and chocolate. None of it contain sugar. Guests can also take drinks from their coffee machine in ground level E - but you have to bring your own cups (from your room).
You will be given a list of paper on what is needed during check in. Easy and simple.
If you want the ac on, you need to ensure windows are closed properly. We left the windows open at night as it’s more cooling. But you have to bear with the noises from outside.
During check out, guests will need to load the dish washer and put them on start (with the dishwashing capsule) before leaving. It’s really cool since Asians dont really use them. They also provide a sponge and dish liquid if you prefer to wash as per normal. We did both.FromUS$68

The location is close to the city center, not far from the old city, but the price is expensive. The aisle in the hotel lobby is quite beautiful, but the room is small and the windows are similar to the aisle windows. The bathroom is generally clean, but the bed always feels a little taste.FromUS$115

The advantage is that it is a quiet neighborhood, not crowded, and there is a large supermarket nearby, so shopping is easy.
Parking was free in front of the hotel and smart TV was available.
I was able to watch Netflix
The downside was that the soundproofing wasn't good, so there was a lot of noise between floors, and the hallway was a bit noisy. There were a lot of bugs and mosquitoes.FromUS$79

This is a truly perfect hotel, spacious and bright, with a striking design. It has two rooms, one inside and one outside, and the sofa bed in the outer room is incredibly comfortable and high-quality. The window overlooks the street, and the sound of church bells drifts in the breeze, evoking a sense of ethereal peace and tranquility... It's a style my children and I absolutely adore. The room also comes with a generous selection of food and beverages, all included in the room rate. The service charge accepts both credit and cash, which is very flexible. The bathroom sink plug was broken, so I called customer service. Upon opening the door, the handsome front desk guy came to fix it. Without a word, he took off his suit and quickly fixed it. This multi-person experience isn't limited to domestic use. My children said they probably waited for the repairman to arrive, and they didn't know when.FromUS$106

Location: It is located in a Dutch residential area 4 kilometers away from the center of the old city of Heidelberg, so the location is on the outskirts of the city. If you rent a car privately, it is no problem. If you want to walk out at night, don't choose this hotel. On the navigation route, we turned around several times due to road construction, and I thought we had chosen a rural area.
The hotel is very cost-effective and much cheaper than the old town. The breakfast is a typical German breakfast, which is very good.
The hotel is small, with only thirty or forty rooms, and the facilities are new.
I thought I had chosen the wrong hotel, but when I had breakfast in the morning, I discovered that this hotel was highly booked by foreigners. There were almost no people of color. It was entirely a hotel occupied by Germans.FromUS$107
