Hotel Schnookeloch in Heidelberg

I had organized a work dinner but unfortunately, I couldn't go as I got glutened at a previous restaurant. However, this restaurant offered a glutenfree menu. The guests liked the food and the atmosphere.

My Palatinate platter was great.

I haven't eaten so badly in a long time

Good food at a reasonable price. Steak meat could be of higher quality and a bit more expensive.

Very good food. Incredibly good service from Gülay. Good brewery cuisine in a great atmosphere

Incredible historical atmosphere with live piano music, mixed with people chatting, it is just inviting you inside! The place is an old German student bar with history, and you can see the Mensur club memorabilia on the walls. The food was amazing, simply delicious - try their pan.. or Schnitzel, both were very nice. Finally, service was impeccable, fast, very lovely & always smiling - much obliged Ms. Gulay.

Very nice service, great food. It was a successful evening.

Excellent food, great ambience and extremely nice and extremely friendly service. Absolutely recommended, a great and wonderful evening

Extremely friendly and professional service. The food was very tasty and plentiful, fresh and regional products. The ambience was very authentic and hearty, unfortunately the piano player dominated the beautiful atmosphere with his strumming, which was negative to unbearable. Without this there would be 5 plus points.

We had a wonderful family lunch there. Amazing staff, great food and a very Einheimische atmosphere. We loved every second of it. Beautiful place.

We came from Dortmund for a play and ended up in the restaurant in the evening through a recommendation. Very competent and friendly service, the pork knuckle was exceptional and the beer was well tapped! If we're here again, we'll come back!

Good food, atmosphere and nice waiters.

Good food, extremely friendly service and very nice piano playing!!! Very happy again!!

The atmosphere of the restaurant is very traditional, traditional and inviting. Unfortunately, the positive impression is limited to the furnishings and the schnitzel, which according to my companion was a success. Unfortunately, the cheese spaetzle was a bitter disappointment. It was more like spaetzle in a cheese and cream sauce (as is unfortunately the case in many places). However, they had nothing to do with real cheese spaetzle. The snow-white color and liquid already made it clear that cream was being used here and not high-quality cheese. The fried onions were undoubtedly also a finished product. I couldn't tell any difference to the cheese spaetzle in the Heidelberg central cafeteria. Canteen food, which is available here for just under €16 instead of €2.15 in the cafeteria.

Great service Julia was amasing!!

Very tasty food, cozy and rustic and there was even live piano music

Very nice, rustic restaurant. Good menu, prices are okay. I really liked the rustic atmosphere and the Hacker Pschorr 'bright' was good ☺️ we had an ox meat burger with fries and a coffee to round it off.

Este es un restaurante en el Altstadt, situado en Haspelgasse. Después de pasar por la puerta durante el día, hicimos una reserva de cena para esa noche. Sin embargo, cuando llegamos a nuestra hora señalada, solo había algunos otros huéspedes en los restaurantes. Nos sentamos pronto. La decoración era típica de lo que uno podría esperar de un restaurante alemán tradicional, con muchos paneles de madera oscura y decoraciones centradas en las ricas tradiciones universitarias de Heidelberg. Inglés - menús de idiomas fueron proporcionados. Mi compañero y yo pedimos schnitzels de varios tipos. La comida era sabrosa y los tamaños de las porciones abundantes. El servicio fue rápido y atento. Pudimos pagar con tarjeta. No buena comida, pero buena comida a precios decentes en un ambiente divertido. Una muy buena experiencia, en general.

A traditional restaurant in HD. We were warmly welcomed and the service was very nice. Unfortunately, some of the food wasn't that great. We ordered rump steak and it was perfect. Unfortunately, the schnitzel and cordon bleu came out of the deep fryer and were completely dry. I get this at every motorway rest stop. I think we won't come back. It's a shame actually.

I had dinner on New Year's Eve with my husband, and we had an amazing time with all the lovely company of versus travel, and enjoyed the best gluhwein we have tasted so far. The staff was helpful, friendly and willing throughout our stay there! I highly recommend it!!! Thank you very much!

Excellent menu, with polite and very helpful staff !!

Everything was great. I am hoping to see you again next year😍🤣

The place was amazing! At the best location! We had great time!!! Excellent food and excellent people!!!! I highly recommend it 👌 👍

We had our dinner on 31/12 with our group and we had a great time. Friendly staff, great food and atmosphere. I suggest it 100%.

GREAT FOOD AND SERVICE. ALL WAS WONDERFUL DURING OUR DINNER ON 31ST DECEMBER

I had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful restaurant during my visit to Heidelberg, and it truly exceeded all expectations. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with traditional. The food was absolutely fantastic—each dish was flavorful, well-executed and absolutely delicious. A special mention to our server, who went above and beyond to make our experience even better. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the beer selection and helped us choose the perfect brew to complement our meal. His recommendations were spot on, and he really added to the overall enjoyment of the evening. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Heidelberg. The combination of great food, wonderful service, and a welcoming atmosphere makes it a must-visit! Greetings from Greece!

Good German food, nice atmosphere

Thank you for your hospitality! We had a wonderful evening! 😃😃

The worst service. Complete lack of knowledge of accommodating customers. And a bit rude

Very nice place to enjoy your wine and try the local delicacies! Perfect staff!

Great atmosphere and super friendly service.

The food came immediately - very strange for a full restaurant. And unfortunately the quality suffered as a result. We were there with 12 people, 2 of whom were satisfied with their food. Definitely an opportunity for improvement. Service was quick and good, and the atmosphere was okay for our group. Flair of an old pub. Cheese spaetzle is not recommended if you like eating it, onion soup ran past an onion at some point - I would describe it as a clear broth.

We were there for the first time last Saturday afternoon and can only recommend it. The atmosphere is clocky and full of history. The waitresses were super friendly and attentive. We had liver dumpling and onion soup as a starter and various main courses from a meat plate to vegetarian tarte flambée and a cheeseburger with fries. Everything was very tasty and well seasoned. We paid around €150 for 4 people with several drinks, which was absolutely justified. We would be happy to come back and recommend it wholeheartedly.

Beautiful student bar. I was there again and felt very comfortable again, just like when I was a student. HIGHLY recommended for guests with an understanding of student associations.

An old, traditional student bar in the middle of Heidelberg's old town. The food was very tasty. The service excellent. The staff very friendly. Price performance is also right. However, it is advisable to reserve in advance.

Totale Touriabzocke, schade, Ein Kölsch (0,2l) für 4,60€ 😳, unverschämt und nicht nachvollziehbar, werden wir nie wieder betreten

Shameless tourist rip-off!! €4.60 for a 0.2 gaff Kölsch. Impudence 😤

Total tourist rip-off, what a shame, a Kölsch (0.2l) for €4.60 😳, outrageous and incomprehensible

Unverschämte Touriabzocke!! 4,60€ für ein 0,2 Gaffel Kölsch. Frechheit 😤 und total unverständlich. Gerne in Heidelberg aber niemals mehr dahin!

Beautiful old hotel in the middle of the old town. Rooms small but attractive, bathroom newly renovated.

Very tasty food, very good background music

Super, super lovely staff. Good prices and great ambience! I rarely write reviews, but the Schnookeloch deserves it!

We booked the hotel for one night at short notice. We were satisfied with the room and the service. The location is great. Located right in the old town. The room was friendly and well equipped. There is a bar under the room. . If you are very sensitive to noise, you should definitely bring earplugs. And one little thing wasn't so nice, there was no heating in the bathroom. The breakfast was simple but completely sufficient! Check-in was done at a hotel right around the corner. The service there was nice and friendly. And you could rent a parking space. All in all it was uncomplicated and worked well. We felt very comfortable and would book it again and again. Very good value for money!

We went there with a group of 30 people for dinner. Everything went great. We could decide whether we would like to eat from the menu or whether we want to select the dishes before.

Good schnitzel and apple strudel, the place looks nice but it was too loud to talk or listen.

Very traditional student restaurant. The burger was very tasty and we always got our order quickly. Nice live piano playing in the background.

Twice the food was good, but then the quality was poor and unloving. Edit: After five years we wanted to give the Schnookeloch another chance. Unfortunately, the food was again not convincing. The cooked cheese schnitzel was more of a schnitzel with a cream sauce, which suggested a slight cooked cheese note. Fried onions were spread over it, which didn't fit at all. And the pumpkin soup was lukewarm and unfortunately much too sweet. The restaurant survives through its history, which fills the establishment with tourists and fraternities. However, you can't expect good food here.

Great old student bar. Good card. Trying digital ordering: if it works, ok. ...We were forgotten...

Tradition is created and lived here in the ambience. The schnitzels are still being audibly beaten here. Very varied menu, the food is very praiseworthy and plentiful, the employees are helpful and very friendly, the toilets are very clean. Unreservedly recommended!

Old student inn, with a great atmosphere. The guests then sit “comfortably” close together. Food quite good, prepared quickly, service friendly.

Food quality was very manageable and not complete, long waiting time. Very loud, but good for drinking.

A wonderful place to stay full of stories and romance.

Two weeks ago we were guests at the Schnookeloch restaurant with a bus group of 50 people and were allowed to eat á la carte without pre-ordering! A big plus point! The service was very friendly, committed and everything went great! We were also impressed by the rustic atmosphere and the great location near the old town! We were also pleasantly surprised by the food, there were traditional dishes but also "well-known" dishes that were unusual and very tasty. All in all a successful stay with our bus group. Thank you. We'll be back soon!

Very nice atmosphere. And the musical accompaniment from the piano is very entertaining.

Just had a drink, really old student bar, the service was good, you should make a reservation, because of the location itself, it's really busy.

We were in the restaurant with a (registered!) group and initially discovered that there weren't enough seats reserved for us. The pre-ordered dishes then arrived at longer intervals, so that we couldn't even eat at the same time. Service was quite slow and felt unprofessional. There are certainly better places in Heidelberg...

Very good and nice service. The food is not recommended. If you think you can't go wrong with schnitzel, you're wrong. Dry, tasteless, tough. Pure convenience food. Ready-made and fried to death. Fried potatoes with peel, onions black and burnt without the advertised bacon. But the price is generous. No thanks. Never again.

We were in the restaurant with a tour group. Although a reservation was made by the organizer, too few seats were kept free, so we had to sit very closely together and some even in the beer garden in cold temperatures. The staff was sometimes overwhelmed and it took a long time to be served. The food was mostly ok. Only the ox burger didn't taste good to everyone who ordered it. The restaurant itself is quite quaint and cozy. Overall, the visit to the restaurant was unfortunately a disappointment.

first and probably the last time to dine in the said restaurant. food wasn’t great. ordered extra on top of the pre ordered menu, paid in cash, didn’t receive any change. the salad was 5/10. dessert is 1/10.. any person can make a better pancake..

Very friendly hosts and a very good meal in a rustic inn.

After 2 hours of waiting, we left the restaurant without food (order canceled again). Are overwhelmed with a higher number of guests. No information in advance or in between that it could take longer. The same thing happened to other tables.

It was a cozy restaurant. The landlord responded to my special requests without any problems. Therefore 5 points for the service. My husband's burger was absolutely delicious and plentiful. Recommended.

Nice service and original style

Maybe it was the castle lighting. Locally filled. Service overloaded. Food ok but average. We waited about 1.5 hours for the food.

We came there to enjoy 🍺 beer about 5pm 🕔 but the waitress feels unhappy It’s really funny to help a big family to take a photo

great rustic restaurant. Very good food, sensational burgers. Nice staff.

Rustic, cozy atmosphere. The whole group ate well and received friendly service.

Gottseidank haben wir uns von den Bewertungen nicht abschrecken lassen. Wir haben das leckere Essen hier sehr genossen, die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und der Platz im Gastgarten war bei ca 30 Grad sehr angenehm.

We went for dinner with a group (8 people). Our table was reserved. The Lockal was very well attended. After ordering, 7 meals were delivered quickly. However, 1 meal came 45 minutes later and unfortunately not as ordered. That can happen, but the way it is said (credibility) is the most important thing. Unfortunately, they were just poor excuses. Conclusion, food was good.

Nice shop, service was good. We both had schnitzel. It was absolutely okay, the taste was good and the price/performance ratio was absolutely reasonable!

Just awesome! Location, beer garden, food and drinks, everything was great! Absolute tip!

A great place with an atmosphere based on the different German brotherhoods. The food is very good too.

Great atmosphere, friendly service, but expensive

We came across this restaurant by chance and were very impressed. The service was fantastic, the nice lady was very friendly and helpful. You rarely get such good and friendly service. If I could give it 10 stars then I would. The food was excellent, everything was fresh and homemade. Very good chef who cooks with love. The atmosphere is also very interesting, lots of little details and old photos etc. The small beer garden in the back yard was also very nice. Thank you for this great experience, we will definitely come back.

Good home-style, rustic restaurant. Delicious food. Very friendly service.

Great food. Super nice service. You have to visit it.

We were there with the family (2 children) and sat in the backyard in good weather. The service was attentive and friendly. The food was delicious, sufficient and enjoyed by everyone. The toilets are very clean and modern. The atmosphere was rustic, but we really liked it. We will definitely come back again!

There were 4 of us at work today and everything was great, service was great, food was great, thank you very much. I recommend it and would be happy to come back.

The service and location closer to the river was quite enjoyable but the food was one of the worst. We ordered Schnitzel and Heidelberger Chicken. Both tasted like cardboards, no amount of sauce and burnt potatoes salvaged the food. It's not uneatable but just so bland. If this is being offered as german traditional food in the old town of touristic town then german cuisine does deserve the bad reputation. Maybe change the recipe a little bit than the one in 18th century?

It was incredible experience of discovery the German cuisine. A really good historical restaurant to take your time and appreciate the food and the atmosphere!

Das Essen war höchstens mittelmäßig . Die Bratkartoffeln teilweise sehr verbrannt . Der Rest so lala . Die Bedienung war nett und sehr bemüht .

Quaint Heidelberg pub, delicious food with fast and friendly service. Toilets were clean and if you sit in the courtyard you can take a look into the clean kitchen. Gladly again😋🍻

I've eaten better. My burger was dry, the bun was crunchy, and the fries weren't crispy either. And that 17.90! The knuckle was also not fresh and the ox meat with horseradish sauce was a visual disaster. Fried potatoes, a mountain of meat in small pieces and slathered with sauce on top.

Cute restaurant tucked inside hotel . Server was absolutely lovely and very accommodating to us. Can recommend the goulash

Bland and boring food. The staff was not very customer-friendly, possibly because they were not very good at English.

The restaurant itself looks nice, but unfortunately the service and the kitchen were massively overwhelmed by our group of around 20 people. I had the pork knuckle pan to eat, but unfortunately it was bland, the others were okay. The entire process until we had the food and especially the payment, when the card payment didn't work, was stressful. The blonde, younger service person was actually on the ball when it came to drinks, but unfortunately we weren't served by her. I hope you can manage it better in the future, the location has potential and is actually good.

Quaint old restaurant, nice friendly service. Food was very good. Price performance was ok. Beer could be a little cheaper.

While there was a lot going on on the main street at 4 p.m., it was pleasantly quiet here. A cooling breeze blows from the Neckar through Haspelgasse. Delicious cellar beer and tasty food, Heidelberg pancakes and Saumaugen with sauerkraut and fried potatoes, round off your stay here perfectly.

Hotel: An elevator would be perfect!

Very nice interior but very average quality food. Service was slow and nearly invisible and still got my order wrong….

Die schlechteste Restaurant-Erfahrung, die ich je gemacht habe . Geblendet von der hübschen Einrichtung haben wir am vergangenen Samstag für den Abend reserviert. Zugegeben: es war Feuerwerk an diesem Abend und die Stadt voll, aber so etwas habe ich noch nie erlebt. wir hatten einen Tisch reserviert man sagte uns, wir sollten uns einen Tisch im Innenhof aussuchen. Beim hinsetzen wurden wir angeblafft, dass wir den Tisch neben einem weiteren freien Tisch wählten, denn so könnten sich acht Personen an zwei Tische nebeneinander setzen. zu diesem Zeitpunkt hätten wir das Restaurant verlassen sollten. Um uns herum hektisches Platz zuweisen, hektisches Kommandieren, fallende Gläser, die zur Hälfte aufgekehrt wurden, « schließlich haben alle Schuhe an », Die karte war schon einmal sehr ernüchternd. Spargel mit Dampfkartoffel und Sauce Hollandaise rund 27 €. ein paar Häuser weiter wurde dieses Gericht am selben Tag für 16,90 . € angepriesen. Auswahl für Vegetarier mehr als bescheiden : Süppchen für zehn Euro Salat, Käsespätzle oder Salat. Ich habe Großer Salat mit Ei für 15,60 € gewählt m,60 € gewählt. Nun hieß es warten. Nach wiederholten Nachfragen erhielten wir 2 Stunden später unser Essen . Ein aufgeweicht grüner Salat. Die Eier müssen wohl ausgegangen sein. 3-4 Scheiben mit schwarz gekochtem Dotter konnte ich entdecken. Mittlerweile verließen die ersten Gäste, die kein Essen bekommen hatten. Das Restaurant wir mussten unser Geld ab gezählt auf den Tisch legen, da auch keine Rechnung kam. Für einen miserablen Salat und ein kleines Radler habe ich 20,40 € liegen lassen.

Yesterday we were a group of 9 people for the castle lighting and had made a reservation as a precaution. So when we arrived we couldn't even sit all together... We had to sit at two tables of 4, which was a shame... we had to wait over an hour for the food... Many of the other guests had already complained about that We stayed to eat... Then one schnitzel was booked too many for us... Well, a lot of things went wrong that evening... Hope for improvement if we decide to come again. Food was okay 🙂. Otherwise it's a nice, quaint restaurant. But if I don't have any staff I have to reduce the number of tables . lock out.

About the food: The rump steak was of very good quality and fried medium rare as requested! Unfortunately the spaetzle wasn't homemade. The sauce was a ready-made sauce, but the taste and consistency were significantly improved! About the ambience: The beer garden is actually just a tube between two houses, beautifully decorated and enhanced with a lot of (partially artificial) greenery! About the service: Very friendly, accommodating; always present but never intrusive! Regarding cleanliness: beer garden was in tip top condition, medical rooms were not used. The only drawback is that the background music could be a little quieter. CONCLUSION: Absolutely good value for money, highly recommended!

Unfortunately, the food wasn't that good. Guests are being taken for a ride. We booked for 7:30 p.m. and got a table at 8:30 p.m. And the food didn't come until after 10 p.m. A disaster. Never again.

It is awful. We waited for 2 hours and 10 minutes and we did not receive our order so we left

We waited 2 hours 20 minutes and we were never served. We left

Nice staff and good food. Nice beer garden. Price-performance is right. Would love to come back.

Great location, great location, quaint pub with great restaurant cuisine. Be sure to go through the restaurant to the beer garden 😊

Delicious food, attractive season menu, good value for money for Heidelberg's old town. The service was very friendly and quick. You sit comfortably in the shady beer garden.

Location unbeatable! Old buildings require concessions. Breakfast buffet limited selection but very good quality. Bathroom with very spacious shower. Gladly again!
