“Hotel Zum Pfalzgrafen clearly benefits from its central Heidelberg location, convenient for sightseeing and shopping. However, light sleepers should request a room away from the street; noise from nearby late-night establishments can be disruptive. The friendly proprietors and the hotel's charm still make it a worthwhile consideration if a quiet room is secured.”
