Very upscale, clean, spacious. Reminded me of The Ritz-Carlton like accommodations. Nice location near Philosophers walk. A little bit of a walk to center of town. Not near any coffee shops so plan on eating an expensive in-hotel breakfast or do as we did and go for a long walk to town for your morning coffee. more

We booked this hotel partly based on the good reviews. After a two week trip through Europe, this hotel was one of the most expensive and the most disappointing. Staff was attentive but in an awkward way. The rooms were just okay but with peeling wall paper and non-functional taps. Further from town than we expected. more

My husband and I have just returned from Heidelberg and the Hirschgasse. I cannot say enough good things about it. It is by far the best service we have experienced in Germany. From the champagne at check-in, to the complimentary wine in our room, not to mention how friendly and thoughtful the staff was. We booked a large suite and... more

My sixth trip to Heidelberg and first time to actually stay here, but not my last. This is the hotel that was one of the original dueling sites for the young men in the colored corps caps. Suite 205 was at one point, part of the dueling room. This is where Mark Twain came to watch the student duels, described... more

The Hotel Die Hirschgasse in Heidelberg (a member of the group Small Luxury Hotels of the World) sits in a residential area,on a hillside, across the Neckar River from the main shopping areas and the Castle. The cab ride from the rail station is 10€, but the hotel is close enough to walk to the main shopping/dining areas just over... more

This is probably the best hotel I've ever stayed in anywhere. In the most picturesque setting, only a 5 minute walk along the river to the center of Heidelberg. The staff was fabulous. I have never met a more helpful, generous group of people. The restaurant staff were friendly, fun and served a most delicious breakfast, although expensive, it was... more

My wife and I enjoyed a three night stay at the hotel in December. We had traveled to Heidelberg for the Christmas Market. Our suite was clean and spacious. The bathroom large and plenty of hot water. The breakfast was excellent. Eggs were cooked to order and the other items in the breakfast selection were tasty and plentiful. We had... more

What a special place Die Hirschgasse is! You feel like you're living history. There is a feeling of eras gone by everywhere you look. The hotel used to be the dueling site for the young students at Heidelbugh university in the 19th century. The tables in the bar have their names carved on the top. On my table Otto Von... more

A short visit for a few days at the end of September. The staff are witty, helpful and the restaurants' food and drink is excellent. Nonetheless, there are some small problems in this hotel which should, in some respects perhaps, be termed a glorified boarding house establishment. On two consecutive days dirty towels were not changed. On day two the... more
