Maximilian

Heidelberg Region


Bang in the centre of town by the Altpörtel, cafe/bistro Maximilian (which doubles as reception) has three attractive guest rooms in the same building, two of which have balconies. Wi-fi can be patchy. Around the corner, on Karmeliterstrasse, it also rents out two contemporary duplex apartments with well-equipped kitchens, sleeping two adults.
