If you're looking for a room near University Hospital Würzburg, whether for yourself because a longer course of treatment is coming up, or for a family member you're accompanying, you'll know the usual dilemma. Hotel rooms start to feel impersonal after three days, the hospital cafeteria stops being a diversion after a week, and a single room as a companion at the hospital quickly costs €80 to €120 a night: no kitchen, no laundry, no privacy. Even a standard hotel near University Hospital Würzburg often costs €90 to €150 for a simple room that's really only good for sleeping in.
With us in Maidbronn you'll find a genuine fourth option: a fully furnished holiday apartment, 10 to 15 minutes by car from the University Hospital's main campus in Grombühl. That means after a day at the hospital you're home in fifteen minutes, able to cook for yourself, do laundry, stretch out on the sofa, read a book in peace: no hotel corridor, no strangers' voices from the next room, no lobby. Arrive any time via the key safe, even if an examination overran or an operation took longer than planned. Your own parking space right outside the door, with an 11 kW wallbox if you're driving electric.
We've been letting our Heimatgefühl holiday apartment since 2018, and hospital guests have been among our most frequent over the years. Patients come for CAR-T therapy or several weeks of radiotherapy, family members accompany a relative on the ward, hospital interns take the apartment for a whole semester, and sometimes it's doctors from other hospitals travelling for training or conferences. A guesthouse near the hospital with the comfort of your own home. That's the idea behind it. You'll find every room in the gallery.
Over the years we've talked to many hospital guests and tried to work out what makes a stay around the University Hospital so exhausting, and what people really need when their day revolves around appointments, treatments or visiting hours. Six things come back again and again as the most important factors. These are also the reasons our guests choose our apartment over hotels near University Hospital Würzburg, a standard guesthouse or the single room at the hospital: All stops and walking routes without a car.
Hospital appointments can't always be planned: an operation can overrun, an examination can take longer. With our key safe you can arrive at any time of day or night. You'll get the code in good time by message.
By car around 10 to 15 minutes via Estenfeld and the Schweinfurter Straße, straight to the University Hospital's main campus in Würzburg-Grombühl. No traffic jams, no hunting for a space in the city centre.
No hunting for a parking space, no underground car park stress. We have our own parking space right outside the door and an 11 kW wallbox, if you're driving electric.
A washer-dryer for your laundry, a dishwasher, oven, ceramic hob, fridge-freezer, microwave. After a week of hospital canteen food, you'll look forward to a home-cooked meal.
Maidbronn is a village: no main road, no city noise. After a day at the hospital or a difficult examination, you can really switch off here. Both bedrooms face the back of the house.
During longer hospital stays, family often joins later. There's room for 1 to 6 guests, in two separate bedrooms plus a sofa bed. A dog or cat is welcome too, often the biggest comfort right now.
Just let us know the date and expected length of stay, and we'll check availability and get back to you within 24 hours. We try to make even short-notice enquiries work.
Send a no-obligation enquiryIf a family member is a patient at University Hospital Würzburg, as a relative you usually want two things: to be close to the hospital and to have a place to retreat to when the hospital day is over. Three options usually come into question:
Our holiday apartment is a fourth option that many family members don't have on their radar: 10 to 15 min by car, your own parking space, a fully equipped kitchen, a washer-dryer, peaceful sleep. You can cook for yourself, do laundry, have family join later, bring a dog or cat. For longer stays from 14 nights the nightly rate goes down again.
A temporary home near the hospital, with the comfort of your own place, for patients, family members and hospital staff.
University Hospital Würzburg is the top-level provider for Northern Bavaria and internationally recognised for several highly specialised treatment areas. Many of our guests travel because of one of these specialisations, sometimes for weeks or months. So you can put this in context:
Würzburg is one of the most important centres in Europe for CAR-T cell therapy: a modern immunotherapy for blood cancer, myeloma and lymphoma. Prof. Hermann Einsele was the first to use the therapy clinically in Europe. The UKW has now successfully treated over 100 patients. Guests who come to Würzburg for CAR-T usually plan for several weeks on site, and we offer special rates from 14 nights.
Patients with rare diseases are assessed and cared for on an interdisciplinary basis at the ZESE. Diagnostic stays often run over several days, sometimes with repeat appointments. A quiet apartment with its own kitchen and self check-in is more than just somewhere to sleep here.
The Liver Centre at the UKW cares for patients with complex liver diseases, including rare liver conditions in cooperation with the ZESE. Treatment often runs over a long period, and we know this group of patients well.
The interdisciplinary Amyloidosis Centre combines haematology and cardiology, with patients examined both haematologically and cardiologically at their initial assessment. For patients travelling from further away especially, that means stays of several days with follow-up appointments.
A leading oncology centre for the whole region. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are often given as outpatient treatment over several weeks, and your own apartment near the hospital is noticeably more comfortable than driving back and forth every day or staying in a hotel.
Important: We're not a medical facility, but a holiday apartment. Please clarify specific questions about treatment directly with the hospital doctors or via the University Hospital Würzburg website. We offer what the hospital doesn't: peace and a piece of home during your treatment.
University Hospital Würzburg is in the Grombühl district. Here are the two realistic routes from us:
From Maidbronn via the B19 towards Würzburg, Grombühl exit. The hospital has its own car parks right on site: chargeable, but usually available.
University Hospital Würzburg
Oberdürrbacher Straße 6, 97080 Würzburg
Bus 450 from Maidbronn (stop right in the village) towards Würzburg ZOB/Hauptbahnhof. From Hauptbahnhof Ost, take tram 1 or 5 towards Grombühl to the Pestalozzistraße stop (University Hospital Area A).
Free shuttle buses connect the different hospital areas. They run Monday to Friday between 5:45 am and 10:30 pm, every 10 to 15 minutes.
Tip: if you have a companion who shuttles back and forth between the hospital and the apartment, you can save on hospital car park fees. We're happy to share tips on hospital car parks and the best route depending on the time of day.
A hotel room for 3 weeks? That becomes torture. A holiday apartment with everything you need for daily life feels different:
45 m² in the main apartment (up to 60 m² with the additional room), for 1 to 6 guests. Two separate bedrooms each with a 1.8 m wide bed, a living room with a sofa bed, a travel cot on request. The inward-facing balcony with a privacy screen looks out onto greenery, useful if between hospital days you'd also like to enjoy a quiet coffee outside, away from city bustle.
Many of our guests stay longer: therapy patients whose treatment runs over several weeks. Hospital interns who come to Würzburg for a semester. Family members accompanying a relative. Also rehab guests who aren't quite ready to be at home after a procedure.
From two weeks we reduce the nightly rate. Exactly how much depends on the season and length of stay, just send us your approximate dates, and we'll put together an offer.
We issue a proper invoice with all the necessary details. If your insurer needs a specific form (for example stating the purpose as "accommodation during outpatient therapy"), just let us know.
If treatment runs longer than planned, just let us know. As long as the apartment is free afterwards, we'll extend your stay quickly and without fuss.
Anyone travelling with a therapy dog or companion cat is warmly welcome too, with a transparent surcharge of €20 per night per pet.
We've been letting our Heimatgefühl holiday apartment since 2018. A significant share of our guests travel with a hospital connection, as a patient, companion or hospital intern.
We know from many stays that a hospital visit is tiring enough on its own. What you'll find here is the result of real experience with longer-staying guests: a peaceful apartment, straightforward arrival, an easy-going host.
If you have specific questions (for example about getting to the hospital, parking or extension options): +49 170 2435507, or write to us via the enquiry form.
By car around 10 to 15 minutes via Estenfeld and the Schweinfurter Straße. By public transport: bus 450 to Würzburg Hauptbahnhof, then tram 1 or 5 towards Grombühl to the Pestalozzistraße stop, about 45 minutes in total.

The apartment has two separate bedrooms plus a sofa bed, up to 6 guests in total. If family joins for a few days, there's plenty of space. Please let us know when you enquire, so we can prepare the apartment accordingly.

From €89 to €119 per night. That's noticeably cheaper than a single-room surcharge at the hospital (often an extra €80 to €120) or a hotel near University Hospital Würzburg (€90 to €150 for a simple room without a kitchen or laundry). From 14 nights the nightly rate goes down again; we're happy to put together an individual offer.
Yes, that's one of our most frequent guest groups. Many family members accompany a relative at the University Hospital and need a quiet room for the night. With us you get noticeably more comfort than a hotel or a single room at the hospital: your own kitchen, living room, two separate bedrooms (1 to 6 guests) and self check-in around the clock.
We are a private holiday apartment, registered as a business, but not a hotel or guesthouse. You have the whole apartment to yourself, with kitchen, bathroom, living room and two bedrooms. Comparable to a high-quality guesthouse, except that you use all the rooms yourself instead of sharing communal areas.
Rather not. Our apartment is meant as a temporary home for holiday guests, hospital stays, renovation replacement housing and family visits, not as a typical contractor's billet. We don't have a suitable pricing model or storage space for tools or materials for that. In exceptional cases we're happy to see whether it could still work; just drop us a line about what you need.
