We liked everything! The hotel is located in the heart of the Baden wine trail area, a beautiful village with a small shop, restaurants and an award winning cafe. We had one of the studios, which was spacious with a super comfy bed. This had a balcony with views of the surrounding vineyards and over looking the village swimming pool, which we could use for free. The pool is immaculate with plenty of shade, grassed areas amongst colourful planting. We were never disturbed by noise, even when it was busy- just the delightful sound of children playing until it closed at 8 pm. We had the option of taking breakfast in the hotel, which was a wonderful buffet of options and beautiful fresh eggs and coffee. The local shop sells everything needed for breakfast, lunches and meals which we could have prepared in the kitchen area, but we ate several nights in the restaurant and the food was excellent. Lots of locally sourced produce and enticing local wines. Lots of traditional options to try, but for those who prefer lighter meals, the fish and pasta were excellent. ( Meals did not need to be ‘heavy’ ) The staff were efficient- our German is not great, but they helped us with the menu and we had several delightful conversations with some of the young staff. A real bonus was the free travel card which we were given when we checked in. This gave us free entrance to the pool, which we used on a daily basis as it was very hot whilst we were there. It also gave us free travel on all local trains and buses in the Black Forest. Brilliant! We hardly used our hire car, had several fun days out, hopping on the bus just along from the hotel to the nearest station. All of this was so efficient. The only trains this didn’t apply to were the ICE high speed trains, but we would highly recommend taking this option and leaving the car behind. We would have been happy to pay to go on the fast trains to. visit areas further afield like Lake Constance or Basel had we been staying longer.

For those who are travelling for some time, it’s worth mentioning that there are no laundry facilities in the hotel or village.

Location in the centre of Durbach, next to municipal swimming pool and near restaurants. We are a family of 6 and the larger of the two rooms we booked was excellent (a. Apartment that slept 4 people)

The smaller room (201) was great but it got very hot, even with the fan on. The weather was however particularly warm (32 C+). Unfortunately the restaurant was also closed due to a private function.

Durbach is a very pretty town surrounded by hills covered with vineyards and woodland. The hotel is very attractive, easy to find and has plenty of parking spaces. The breakfast was very good. Durbach produces a lot of wine, mostly riesling, and the hotel is conveniently close to the vinery.

Nothing not to like

Very friendly staff, both in reception and restaurant. Good restsurant serving local food and wine. Nice area wilth many wine producers. Walkind distance to Schloss Staufenberg.

More "light food" on the menu would be nice. Food is "heavy" here...

Location, comfy (firm) bed , spacious room, delicious breakfast. Overall loved it, will stay here again

No iron or ironing board in room, stairs and a buggy are not the best combination but we made it work

Breakfast OK, not as comprehensive as in previous years.

It is fine as it is - clean, comfortable friendly.
