DJH Hostel Heidelberg International

Great for families or groups, for schools or business. Kind of spartan, minimal in comfort. Good value for money. Maintenance has been lagging a little, unfortunately. They are working on it though. Nevertheless Super dedicated staff, very accommodating, very friendly.

I have had an exceptional stay at DJH Heidelberg. The room was tidy and clean, the value is exceptional and it has a bus stop right outside for when you need to travel into town. The staff were all wonderful even though I do not speak German very well. I enjoyed the breakfasts, there is not much that you can expect when the value is so good, but I always found it enough to give me energy for a full day of exploring. Danke schön und auf wiedersehen!

I wasn’t there myself, but my 13 year old kid was an he said it was terrible. Especially the food. The Bread Rolls were great though. There were no towels provided even though they were told there were towels. All the kids had to use clothes to dry off after showering.

The rooms are clean in general. The space is quite big for events and their breakfast, lunch and dinners have a great selection. It is a bit far away from any type of store as the closest supermarket is a 20 min walk, it the zoo is next to it and you can see some of the animals from the hostel. ❤️

Rooms were standard. The only complaint I really have is that there were no outlets within reach of the beds. The food was decent. It's a little bit out of the way but the bus stop is close by as is the zoo.

Had the privilege of staying here thanks to the DAAD. The staff were well organized and professional. The catering was on point. The rooms could be a bit cleaner, there were many dead bugs lying around and the washrooms were a bit grimy. It is also located a bit far from downtown Heidelberg so getting to and from here can be tricky.

The staff seemed very friendly, but it took us about an hour to check in because the guy spoke so slowly. My friend was German and I didn't understand a thing they said to one another, but wow did he speak so slow. Then, I saw the same guy deal with an elderly woman and understood that he's great for that at least.||||The place is out of the way from the exciting part of town. It's great if you want to be near university buildings, but it's far from the station and far from the main areas. There is a shuttle, but it's infrequent on some days and the shuttle system in town doesn't make too much sense. Also there's something about not having to pay for it every time. Like they almost never check tickets.||||Back to the hostel though, it wasn't very clean. The beds were dirty. There were two bunk beds, even though the room was gigantic and didn't need them. There wasn't much blocking any bacteria from the toilet getting around the whole room. ||The free continental breakfast didn't really have much of a selection at all, and all of the cutlery and plates were dirty.||||The outlets in the room were like 10 feet away from the beds and right by the door.||They have this thing where they only have wifi in the lobby, not in the rooms. The place definitely isn't up to speed with the times.

A beautiful place near the river. Very clean and everything was nice and cozy. However the building has little to no windows so the atmosphere inside is a bit heavy on some areas and it definitely gets too hot on summer.
