Hof Ehrenfels

100% recommend! We did not stay, but we ate, at Hof Ehrenfels...twice. Both times the service was excellent and the food was magnificent 👍. Make reservations or arrive at an odd hour but be ready to enjoy local favorites of beer, wine, and food.

We Only came to eat. The women on the phone was kind of rude. She just hang up on us. I understand you might be busy. But you still can be pro. The Service looked like they are trying their best. But looked like most of them have Hard time to understand german. There came later on one sunshine who could understand everythig. Short hair girl. Very friendly. All were friendly expecting the women. On the phone and who was greatinf on the entry.. The surrounding is amazing. We loved the candle lights and the woods tables. Absolute 💕 we loved all desserts. Handkase we missed lots of onions and some butter. Rest of the food was very good. So despite of one rude women. I could recommend to visit here.

Great place to stay. This seems to be a restaurant first and hotel second, but it's all run locally and in a really neat historical building in the heart of the old city center. It's a perfect location; everything worth seeing in the city center is walkable. If you're looking for a luxury hotel this isn't it, but if you're looking for a really nice place to stay in a great location and locally operated this is perfect. The room was spotlessly clean and comfortable.

I’ve both stayed and eaten here and it was a solid 4.5 experience. Would very much recommend it and return when in Mainz. The rooms are well appointed and clean. The street can get noisy. That seems self evident from the location. The bathroom is tiny- this also seems reasonable given the age of the building. The breakfast buffet had all the usual things very nicely presented. One my second trip to Mainz we finally ate at the restaurant. Our Flammkuchen, Salmon and Potatoes, and Burger were all very good. The wine selection is excellent. The service was smooth in both English and German. We didn’t reserve, on a Saturday night, but they managed to find us a place in less than ten minutes. I loved everything about the place except the fact that a carafe of water was just so expensive. I realize this is the norm in Germany but if I’m paying 15- 20 EUR for a plate of food just give me a glass of tap water on the side. It will probably inspire me to order more as I can stay longer. The prices aren’t low but the portions were generous and the food was very good. I would happily return.

We had a good lunch at the Hof Ehrenfels, in the centre of Mainz near the cathedral. We had not booked but arrived as soon as thy opened at midday and got a table in the lovely garden. It was still apsaragus season (the Germans are very proud of their white asparagus) and so we all opted for asparagus with potatoes and ham. We also had glasses of wine from the extensive wine list. Service was good and the atmosphere was very pleasant. just right for a warm June afternoon in Mainz! We felt sorry for the people who were eating inside the restaurant. It would have been cosy in the winter or bad weather but we were fortunate to have a table outside.

Stayed here and had dinner in the beautiful garden on an absolutely wonderful spring evening. Food and drink were excellent. Service was solid - not excellent as they could have checked more regularly and likely sold a bit more vino! Rooms that face the street can be a bit loud but not unusual for a city center location. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. So good I’m staying again on my next long layover!

Popped in for a bite to eat and a beer. ||Watch out this place. The waitresses are dreadful with rounding up bills mainly because lots of foreigners visit the place so a good way to substitute wages. ||The person serving me took the liberty of rounding the bill up by 6 € without asking. Not ok. This is not America but Europe and tips are at the discretion of the guest. ||Food was ok. Not great but really irritated but the waitress taking a liberty and not returning over 14% of the bill as is normal in Germany. ||Not being stingy and I would have given a tip anyway but the fact they just think it is normal shows me that they are ripping off tourists. Avoid.

We loved the location and the cute style of this hotel. Very homey and cosy during a cold winter stay. The location was tops - close to everything like cafes, restaurants, shopping in general and those wonderful Christmas Markets.|We had one breakfast here and it was excellent. Plenty to chose from and even red and white wine - never have seen that at breakfast before!!|The twin room was quite spacious with a nice but smallish bathroom which suited us fine. Everything was clean and fresh. |The staff were obliging and friendly. I would definitely stay here again.

I came because my coworkers were talking non-stop about this place and I'm not disappointed. It's located in a nice and cute neighbourhood (sorry if I'm not right about it). The restaurant is gorgeous. It's well-maintained, tidy and organized as the patio. We decided to take a table on the patio. The menu is German gastronomy mostly. I was a little bit indecisive and the waitress helped me to choose something from the menu. It was an excellent choice! The Schnitzel was really good and the size of the dish was quite big. I was quite surprised about the pepper sauce because I hadn't had it before and it was so tasteful. The prices are right. The staff was polite and friendly at all times and the service was fast. Definitely coming back!

Hof Ehrenfels war für mich eine Zufallsentdeckung, da es in einer Seitenstrasse abseits der Fussgängerzone liegt. Auch der Hintereingang, der direkt in den fantastischen Garten des Restaurants führt, liegt in einer kleinen Gasse wo man sich als ortsfremder nur selten hinverirrt. Dabei ist es nur wenige Minuten vom Dom entfernt, quasi in dessen Hinterhof... Was die Parksituation angeht ist es typisch Mainz: parken in der Innenstadt ist schwer - es gibt einige Stellplätze in der Grebenstrasse aber Chancen einen Stellplatz zu finden sind in einem der nahegelegenen Parkhäuser wahrscheinlich besser. Ich selbst bin regelmässiger Besucher in Mainz und die Innenstadt ist quasi meine zweite Heimat. Da ich immer über Nacht bleibe versuche ich regelmässig neue Restaurants zu finden um etwas Abwechslung in den Alltag zu bringen. Die Weinstube Hof Ehrenfels ist dabei zu einem Ort geworden an den ich immer gerne wiederkomme. Das hat vielleicht auch damit zu tun, dass ich Kollegen die zum ersten Mal in Mainz sind oft hierhin mitnehme, da ich damit gleich eine kleine Orientierungsrunde durch die Mainzer Altstadt verbinde. In den fast fünf Jahren in denen ich regelmässig hierher komme hat sich auch einiges geändert: so gibt es jetzt die Speisekarte auch in Englisch was für meine Kollegen (wir kommen alle aus Kanada) und mich das Leben einfacher macht (ich habe früher oft alles übersetzt). Die Auswahl der Speisen entspricht dem, was ich einem Besucher als traditionelle deutsche Küche vorstelle. Die Speisen sind überregional: vom Spundekäse über Saumagen, Schnitzel, Handkäse mit Musik und Rouladen bis hin zur Berliner Leber ist hier alles zu finden. Die Qualität und die Portionen sind gut, Preise absolut akzeptabel und, es ist schliesslich eine Weinstube, die Auswahl an (lokalen) Weinen gross. Was den Service angeht habe ich bisher nur positive Erfahrungen gemacht: alle sind freundlich und erfahren, die Wartezeiten der Fülle des Restaurants angemessen und viele haben den Mainzer Humor, nehmen sich also nicht allzu ernst. Das alleine ist schon eine herrliche Abwechslung. Kurzum: ich kann einen Besuch nur empfehlen - eine Reservierung ist jedoch, speziell in den Abendstunden zum Wochenende, angebracht.

I went here with to co-coworkers for dinner, and had no idea it was so lovely! We were seated in the courtyard, and while that set the bar pretty high, both the food and the service lived up to it! Can't wait to go back.

The food was fantastic and it appears to be a quaint, authentic restaurant. I am the only English speaker in here, but they had an English menu and my server was fantastic. I had the traditional schnitzel and the potatoes were so good, I ate every last bite. I would definitely come back and would recommend it if you are looking for a break from the language barrier and want a great meal at a good price!
