“Rafaela Hotel Heidelberg impressed me with its modern, unfussy approach, right down to the honor-system wine bottles in the lounge. I appreciate its location on a quiet side street in Neuenheim, with those high-comfort beds promising a good night's sleep, and I'm also giving it a nod for its surprisingly easy access to the Old Town and the University Hospital.”
