“Hotel Zum Ritter won me over with its prime spot in Heidelberg's Old Town-literally steps from the Christmas Markets-and its Renaissance architecture; staying here feels like lodging inside a living postcard. Yes, the staff might be spread thin, and you might hear the city waking up early, but the overall charm and location make it a worthwhile base for exploring Heidelberg.
