Lovely traditional German hotel with delicious food in a beautiful setting on the edge of the woods where you can spend hours walking and hiking. Our room may be been considered a mini suite, as it contained a very spacious sitting area as well as a balcony. We enjoyed the gourmet restaurant very much (reservations needed) but even the regular restaurant was delicious. The hotel also offers a special pass which allows you to travel by bus and train all around the area for free, including special trips each day to various sights.

The spa was fabulous! The champagne greeting was appreciated and the breakfast buffet was very good.

Lovely location for walking, cycling taking in the fresh air although the hotel is located on the main road, there is little noise or too much traffic. The building is next to a river and very close to the rail station. The hotel and staff are excellent and helpful with seeing the local area and provide a travel card and very useful booklet. Not seen that before! Food and staff service is excellent, but pricey. You pay for good attentive service which is exactly what you get here. The building is interesting and part old and part modern and like something from a 1970's James Bond film set. However very cool if you like that sort of thing. Parts of that interior are a little worn. The SPA is very new and impressive. Excellent facilities and the pool is superb. No real complaints other than the wifi is poor. Considering the building this is no surprise but could be improved.

We were a bit taken aback when we arrived at the hotel to find that it has a train line running next to it, but this turned out not to be a disturbance at all, and we enjoyed being able to sleep with our window open, hearing only the sound of the little stream that also runs past it. The location is very convenient for hiking in the Black Forest, and the cute town of Baiersbronn is just a short train ride or drive away. While the typical, rather over-done Bavarian decor is not to our taste, our room was extremely spacious and comfortable and we were happy to spend three nights there. The bed was great, and the bathroom a pleasure to use. The breakfast buffet is varied and generous. We also had dinner at the restaurant twice, taking the a la carte option, and the food was good, and, again, generous, but the service was extremely slow. This put us off eating there again and rather going into Baiersbronn to seek another option. This was the one drawback in an otherwise lovely stay at this hotel.
