Affordable Heidelberg base with parking, ideal for Hockenheimring race weekends
About this hotel
Fans heading to the Hockenheimring for a race weekend will find the Hotel Restaurant Krokodil a solid, budget-friendly option. While not directly next to the circuit, its location west of Heidelberg's old quarter offers a quieter retreat after a day of racing. The on-site parking is a major plus for those driving to the track, allowing for stress-free arrivals and departures. Guests can start their race day with a tasty breakfast buffet before heading out, and return to enjoy regional and international specialities in the evening. The free Wi-Fi keeps everyone connected, whether checking race results or planning the next day's logistics. It's a practical choice for families or groups who appreciate a calm setting and easy access to Heidelberg's historic centre, making the most of both the racing and local sightseeing.

Our take
Krokodil is a practical Heidelberg base for the Hockenheimring, rated 8.2 by 793 guests. I would book it for fans who drive to the circuit and want a quiet room, on-site parking and dinner at the hotel's own restaurant with regional dishes. Breakfast is a buffet and WiFi is free. It is not trackside, so anyone wanting to walk to the gates should stay in Hockenheim.
- ✓Book your stay well in advance, especially for major race weekends, as affordable options with parking near Hockenheimring fill up quickly.
- ✓Utilize the on-site parking to drive to the circuit, but plan your route and arrival time carefully to avoid race-day traffic congestion.
- ✓Take advantage of the hotel's location to explore Heidelberg's attractions, like the castle and Old Bridge, on non-race days.
Why we love it
- On-site parking simplifies race-day logistics
- Affordable rates for a race weekend stay
- Free Wi-Fi keeps everyone connected
- Breakfast buffet fuels early race mornings
Why guests love itHotel Restaurant Krokodil is a small hotel west of Heidelberg's old quarter, rated 8.2 across 793 reviews, and I like it for families who want to pair the Hockenheimring with a city visit. On-site parking matters here because the circuit is a drive away in Hockenheim. A breakfast buffet starts the day, the restaurant serves regional dishes in the evening, and free WiFi covers the basics. Families wanting to walk to the track should look in Hockenheim instead.
