Location! Surrounded by mountains, trees, rural homes, brooks, birds. Lovely hotel run by very friendly people. Attentive! Nice breakfast. We had a spacious room. Bathroom with separate shower and big bath. Hairdryer, big mirror and magnifying mirror. Some basic toiletries. Complementary bottle of water. TV, several lamps, side tables and two settees. Wardrobe with safe. There was a huge window with sliding panels, like you had a balcony. We could see for miles. See birds of prey, bats, swallows. Hear owls at night. And the stars you could see! Wow. We didn't hear any guests from our room. There's a local (not very busy) road at the front of the hotel, we were at the back and couldn't hear it. Good, comfortable beds. Just down the hill there's a town called Bad-Herrenalb where there's a supermarket, drugstore, bakery, ice-cream salon, hat shop (recommended!), cafés & several restaurants (Abbas!). Plenty of hiking/walk options nearby or a bit further by car. Several waterfalls within an hours drive. Baden-Baden is 45min by car. We didn't use it, but as you are paying a tourist tax, you are eligible for a free public transport card for most of the Schwarzwald (Black Forest) area. Make sure to check it out if you would like to use public transport. They have them at the hotel. Dogs are allowed (12,50 per night) and plenty of free parking at hotel.

There was no airconditioning. Which we knew, so we brought a fan. A very small fan was provided, but with current summers, I feel they should invest in AC or bigger fans. It was a sloping roof facing south (sun from midday till sundown). We had dinner first evening in hotel. Husband had the wiener schnitzel which was good. I had a chicken dish with something like cous-cous. Not much chicken and tasted dry, blend & boiled. Cous-cous was way too sharp in flavour. The dessert was great. I asked for plenty of chocolate sauce and that's what I got :-D

It's a comfortable country hotel, in a nice quiet village, close to the main town and all the region offers. The staff were great and its clear they pride themselves on their food. It was great that this is a German hotel with few concessions for non German speakers. It was good to be able to practice my German and work with the staff to be understood, for example to order food and drinks. We walked to town 30min tops and tourist office sorted us a great walk for our single day stay (free booklet and 5ish euro wander kart to walk to and do the wildcat trail)

Whilst I loved having to try my German, did we miss out on the half board offer, the local bus visitors card, the fire escape info and info on local walks? Yes we probably did. Sounds like you can't win but a simple english one pager in the visitor pack? Oh and the smoke at night and in the morning in our back facing room (from visitors or staff?) was on a very hot evening with windows open- not good. No issue I am sure with closed windows. Having said that a great place for a short stay if you love expensive German food.

The hotel feels friendly despite being quite smart. The spacious room was really comfortable and pleasant. We chose a room with a balcony facing the forest to avoid the risk of road noise, and that worked well for us. Parking is free. There was a great choice of breakfast foods, which we enjoyed, and our dinner was also very good. We ate both meals outside on a shaded patio, which was lovely on such a hot day. Being able to take the dog was a big bonus.

Nothing to complain about at all.

Second stay here and we intend to return again! Same as last the staff were great, friendly , welcoming and accommodating. The food was fantastic and we really enjoyed the local wine which we bought, it was only 9 euro a bottle which can be pitched from the hotel, highly recommended.

The room was spacious and clean. a lovely view from the balcony. The breakfast was also very nice.

The only problem was the wifi connection that worked only in few areas. Even on a leasure trip you do need to check some information / buy some tickets etc. and the connection just wasn't reliable. Mobile internet coverage was also non-existant.

After booking another hotel in the area and leaving disappointed, we arrived late and tired. The staff was friendly and welcoming, the hotel has a nice ambience. Very nice food (dinner and breakfast) and a comfortable and clean room. Would definitely recommend.

The twin bed was uneven and a bit too hard for our taste.

Good friendly cheerful service, we felt very well taken care of. Excellent food and good choice of wines by the glass - no need to drive to town for dinner when it's all so good at the hotel. Quiet comfortable rooms.

The restaurant was excellent, we liked it, the food was very tasty.

There was very loud music at 11pm and it was impossible to sleep. In addition, we stayed with dogs and have payed an additional payment, but the hotel did not provide neither blankets or a dog plate.

New shower in my room. Very good restaurant. Tasty food for dinner, good beer and wine, excellent service.

Breakfast via booking.com was more expensive than booking via the hotel web site. Smoking area right below my balcony let smoke come into my room various times.

almost everything ; the staff was very friendly, the room was spacious and clean , the restaurant was expensive but the food and wine was delicious. the breakfast was one of the best we ever had!!!

nothing only that our room was very hot when we came in
