Hotel Sudpfanne

Hotel Sudpfanne is a 3-star hotel at Hauptstraße 221 in the Altstadt of Heidelberg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, on the long pedestrian shopping street that runs through the old town. The Hauptstraße address, number 221, places it in the eastern part of the street, closer to the Karlstor gate end than to the Bismarckplatz end, so the Marktplatz, the Church of the Holy Spirit, the Kornmarkt funicular station and the castle are within a few minutes' walk. The Neckar and the Alte Brücke are a short walk to the north, and the university buildings are nearby.

The hotel is categorised as 3-star and occupies a historic old-town building, with a traditional character and the buzz of being in the middle of the main street. Hauptstraße is among Europe's longest pedestrian zones, lined with shops, cafes and restaurants, so activity continues into the evening.

Listed room types are single, double and twin rooms. Amenities include Wi-Fi, a reception and breakfast service. Typical rates are about EUR 85 to EUR 170 per night, varying with season. Breakfast is the principal meal on site, and dining options are essentially at the doorstep, from bakeries and cafes to traditional Baden restaurants and international kitchens. No spa or pool is listed.

The service character is that of a central city hotel suited to leisure visitors, couples and groups who want to be in the middle of the sightseeing. Delivery and vehicle access are restricted on the pedestrian street, so arriving guests should check luggage and parking arrangements in advance. The hotel's website is sudpfanne-heidelberg.de, and the telephone number is +49 6221 163636. Nearby highlights include the Heidelberg Palatinate Museum, the Old University and the Student Prison, and the Neckar bank is only a block or two away. The central position means evenings can be spent at old-town taverns and returning on foot, while the funicular at Kornmarkt makes the castle a simple excursion at any time of day.
