This is a super clean hostel located in an ideal part of Heidelberg. It’s very comfortable and the staff is helpful and friendly. They offer free coffee and cereals 24/7. They also request that guests DO NOT wash their dishes, as they wash them in the machine. Excellent hostel. Nothing to complain about.
