Heidelberg is a gorgeous and historical town with plenty to do and see, and fortunately for the frugal traveler, there are some good options when it comes to budget traveling. I’ve compiled a list of budget hotels in Heidelberg, all of which come with standard amenities. All the prices listed are estimated for two guests for one night; Booking.com often has deals, so keep in mind that prices are subject to change (which is awesome if the price goes down). Here’s to a great deal!
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on February 02, 2026.
