Jugendherberge Heidelberg International

Jugendherberge Heidelberg International is a hostel at Tiergartenstraße 5 in Neuenheim, on the north bank of the Neckar in Heidelberg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The address is near the Heidelberg Zoo and the riverside meadows, in a green part of the city that is quieter than the Altstadt but well connected by city bus and by a pleasant walk or cycle along the river. The Old Bridge and the old town lie to the east, and Heidelberg Castle is visible on the opposite hillside. As a youth hostel in the German Jugendherberge network, the property follows the network's model of affordable, supervised-style accommodation for individual travellers, school classes, families and groups. Listed room types are dormitory beds and private rooms, and the equipment includes Wi-Fi, a shared kitchen or common area and luggage storage. Youth hostels in Germany typically serve breakfast and offer meal packages, but visitors should confirm current arrangements at booking. Typical rates range from about EUR 25 to EUR 70 per night, which is among the lowest in the city and varies with room type, age group and membership. The service character is practical and group-friendly, suited to school trips, cycling tourists and budget-conscious families. The riverside setting gives access to walking and cycling paths along the Neckar, and the Philosophers' Walk on the hillside across the water is a short distance away. Evenings are quiet compared with the old town, and visitors who want nightlife should plan a bus or taxi ride into the centre. The telephone number is +49 6221 651190, and the website is jugendherberge.de. Advance booking is essential in spring and early summer, when school groups fill the hostel, and visitors should check house rules and check-in hours when reserving.
