Die Hirschgasse Heidelberg in Heidelberg

I am from NYC and have had my fair share of fine dining experiences. What a wonderful surprise to find one of the best of these at this restaurant. While I did not love the bread and dips provided, everything got better from there. We had the spring menu. In particular, I liked the carpaccio with arugula etc. The ravioli was a marvel. Probably one of the best pastas that I have ever had. It made my taste buds sing! And the dessert with the correlation and rhubarb and white chocolate was the single best dessert I have ever had. One reviewer said to taste everything from each dish together on the fork. That was excellent advice. Run to this restaurant, but make sure to prepare for 4 hours and to come hungry. Finally, a shout out to the ladies who provided the consummate and personable and wonderfully warm service! They are gems and truly enhanced the experience.

Offers a lot in the menu, portions are big. Sevice is ok and atmosphere is just fine.

Very friendly and professional. The food was an experience and we were completely taken by it. The wine recommended was a perfect match. It was a completely successful evening. The only downside is that it is unfortunately too far away otherwise it would be our new regular restaurant. Thank you for the lovely evening.

Dear Hotel Management, I am writing to formally express my deep disappointment regarding the treatment my companion and I received during our recent stay at Wohlfühl-Hotel Neu Heidelberg. Our experience was not only unsatisfactory but also alarming and completely unacceptable for any guest. Upon check-in, we found our room in a visibly neglected state excessively dusty, as if it had not been cleaned or used in a considerable amount of time. While such situations may occur, it is your responsibility to ensure that rooms are thoroughly cleaned and ready before being assigned, especially when the reservation is made well in advance. However, what followed was far more troubling. On the evening of April 17 of this year , we returned to the hotel shortly after 10:00 PM. The reception was unattended, and we did not have keys, as we were meant to change rooms that evening. We followed your protocol and called the emergency number provided. The manager arrived, but instead of resolving the issue with professionalism, he behaved in an aggressive and hostile manner. He shouted at us and, shockingly, ordered us to leave the hotel at 11:00 PM. His reaction was not only unprofessional, it placed us in an unsafe situation late at night in a foreign city. This level of conduct from hotel management is indefensible. No guest should ever be subjected to such treatment, regardless of the circumstances. Moreover, I cannot help but question whether our nationality may have influenced the manager’s behavior. As non-German guests, it is difficult to ignore the impression that we were treated with less respect, perhaps reflecting prejudices from the past, that regrettably, still persist in some corners of German society. This concern must be taken seriously. I am formally requesting a written apology from the hotel, as well as an explanation of the internal actions being taken to ensure this does not happen again. I would appreciate a response within 7 days of this email. Should I not receive a satisfactory reply, I will not hesitate to escalate this matter through the appropriate consumer and tourism authorities, as well as share this experience publicly across all major travel review platforms. Sincerely,We had a very disappointing experience at this hotel. The service was poor, and the staff were unwelcoming. Our room was extremely dusty, as if it had not been used or cleaned in a very long time. While that can happen, it is the hotel's responsibility to ensure that rooms are clean and ready before assigning them to guests—especially when the reservation is made in advance. The most concerning part of our stay happened one night when we returned to the hotel after 10:00 PM. There was no one at the reception, and we had no keys, as we were supposed to change rooms that evening. We called the emergency number provided, and the manager arrived, but instead of assisting us, he was extremely rude and aggressive. Shockingly, he asked us to leave the hotel at 11:00 PM. No guest deserves to be treated in such a way, regardless of the circumstances. Hotels should handle difficult situations with professionalism and respect. Asking guests to leave in the middle of the night is unacceptable and unsafe. I sincerely hope no other guest has to go through this kind of treatment. It also raises a serious concern: would we have been treated differently if we were American or European? It’s a question worth asking.

We stayed in this hotel from February 2nd to February 7th, 2025. It is a very nice, centrally located hotel in the old town of Heidelberg. Our room was quiet and spacious. The breakfast can still be improved. If you arrive by train, you can reach the hotel in about 15 minutes. If you have the train station behind you, or rather look straight ahead at the Neckar, just go left to the Old Bridge. Immediately left again and left again.
