Hotel Europäischer Hof Heidelberg

This is how a hotel should be run. Stylish, effortless, friendly service in a stunningly decorated privately owned hotel with gorgeously decorated rooms. You can tell the staff who are amazing are all happy in their jobs and nothing seems too much trouble - this is so hard to find in many hotels. We were extremely lucky as we got one of the best rooms in our class of rooms by happy accident. Gorgeous enormous beds, highest quality linen, big fluffy towels and bathrobes, sumptuous furnishings and plenty of mirror lined wardrobes. The double door into our room meant you could not hear the people walking down our corridor and staff could leave things in the inner section without coming into the room. Gorgeous touches such as the many stunning fresh flowers throughout the hotel, in our bathroom, the eclectic unique yet welcoming decor in the bar lounge area..close to the reception but a gorgeous salon. The breakfast room down a few steps was a delight. Filled with sparkling white linen, the room was filled with the heady scent from the fresh lilies as part of simple table decorations. Wow, just wow! This is a must if your budget allows - we certainly plan to come back many times! And I had the pleasure of greeting the amazing Frau Sylvia von Kretschmann the MD-owner (together with her daughter Dr Caroline v-K..and she was checking a display - hands on what needs to be done. Their promotional material says "5 Star" YES, "Attention to Detail", "Perfection" YES "WE love what we Do" yes "WE trust our staff" YES - they genuinely do... (For comparison: Due to lack of availability for the Friday night I had stayed around the corner and the cost of that hotel was the same with a 1/4 of the charm and style of the Hotel Europaischer Hof.)

Due to going to the thrilling German Grand Prix I sin't get a chance to use the Swimming pool and Spa...NEXT TIME!! Thank you to the team.
