Clean, but very dated decor. Manager very unfriendly and needs to work on hospitality skills. Plan on an early breakfast as buffet food is not replenished if you arrive after 9:15 AM. Great locale, with many restaurants within walking distance. Note: property has no elevator or AC

The pool was great, but we couldn't use it or the jacuzzi on our last morning because of an Aquafit class. Although the check-in was efficient we were not told about the Konus Card available to visitors for free train and bus travel in the Black Forest. We learnt of this in the local tourist information office, but only after we had checked out. The use of a fan in the non-aircon room would have been a bonus.

9/10 Wonderful! (281 reviews)
Great location, fantastic chef/owner who is very personable and always cares about the patrons. Been returning to this hotel for the past 8 years. The food, wine pairing are incredible reflecting the talent and the passion of the owner. Wonderful Baden-Württemberg in southwest Germany, on the edge of the Black Forest. Spa and pool complete the package and its location ideal for a short stop to continue travel to France, north or south Germany or for spending a few days exploring Freiburg.

Great hotel but bar/restaurant closed on sunday
"We were very disappointed after travelling for hours in the rain on a rainy Sunday to find neither the bar nor the restaurant were open. We only booked the hotel because of the on-site restaurant. Everything else was fantastic - such a shame though."

Cheap shouldn’t equal dirty
"Cheap doesn’t mean it should be dirty. Thick dust on carpets, liquid splattered up walls, we had no towels in the room, whole place just dirty. Shower old and tatty, toilet flushes for ages, not very environmentally friendly!"
