I stayed at this property several time and I do quite like it.

PROS:
- location, very central though very quiet
- property is well managed and the standard of rooms is high
- very good restaurant, with outstanding food and efficient service if not very friendly ....
- outstanding buffet breakfast, certainly one of the very best I ever had

CONS:
- parking can get sometimes rather diificult (not enough space)
- front-desk at time not very efficient, need more time than usual for checking out ....
- elevators very slow ....
- bar lacking in conviviality to say the least
- slightly too expensive for a medium size town such as Heilbronn offering no touristic attraction ..... this is basically a businesspeople hotel

Ok, this hotel has no Air Conditioning. Off season that's fine - BUT in the heat wave you'll feel it (apparently this is common in Germany)

Overall Opinion -
Great bed
Great food
Next to train station

Great Service (ps - no ironing boards - they will press clothes for you for min. charge)

well located - if you like to walk or run you can go down the canal to a great park

A high quality hotel with excellent staff and discreet high quality service. The rooms are of reasonable size, the staff are all multi-lingual and the public areas very clean. In fact it has the combined feel of a classy major chain with the homeliness of a small independent hotel. Perfectly positioned on the river, in the town centre, adjacent to all public transport links. The restaurant serves a nice and varied buffet style breakfast and I believe the dinners are excpetional but I've so far succumbed to the variety of other local restaurants in the vicinity.

In summer months the outside seated and dining area is a very pleasant place to while away the hours, watching the (rather attractive) locals pass by before retreating to the comfortable, but sadly non air-conditioned, bedrooms.

This is the main hotel I stay in when visiting colleagues in Germany. I have stayed in others in and around Germany but the Insel just feels very homely. Highly recommended but with caution when the weather is very hot and humid.

stayed here one night wished it was more the evening meal was the best i have ever had at a hotel the breakfast was a buffet and the choice was amazing its a lovely hotel if theres a down no air con.
