Fantastic room.... Brilliant hotel.... Someone has gone to a lot of trouble to make this establishment an experience. Great gym facilities and sauna/steam rooms too.... Really enjoyed our stay here for two days.... Went into the local town to find a restaurant on the second day... I can recommend the Greek one! Breakfast is fabulous. Great underground parking.

First class hotel, excellent service from the staff and the rooms were large. The breakfast was brilliant, cooked by the owner, and a testament to her obvious commitment to running a first-class hotel. Would strongly recommend this hotel and will return in the future. We were on a motorcycle tour through Europe, and this is the best hotel we stayed in by far.

FAQs about hotels in Black Forest

A Forest Full of Surprises

A mysterious mountain range in south-western Germany, the Black Forest evokes images of wild, dark forests and quiet paths with hidden castles and ruins. In fact, this is a very vibrant region with popular wine routes, roaring waterfalls and charming little towns, always full of things to see and do.

However, the biggest kick comes from the Black Forest’s nature and landscape -of its densely forested mountain peaks, Feldberg is the highest at 1,493 metres and the birthplace of the Danube River. Follow its hiking footpaths to see the Titisee and Schluchsee lakes, the most famous German waterfalls of the Triberg and the popular River Wutach gorge.

The region is famous for its crafts, particularly the precision clock making and wood crafting, both coming together in the art of cuckoo clocks, symbolic of the entire Black Forest. There are not as famous as a certain delicacy though: the renowned Black Forest cake, a delicious combination of chocolate, sour cherries, Kirch brandy and cream. An absolute must-try!

From Freiburg to Baden-Baden, from Freudenstadt to Gengenbach, and from 5 star hotels to charming guest houses built in the local style, Booking.com has plenty accommodation on offer for your Black Forest trip.

Excellent 👌 We stayed here during the long weekend of the 14th July, as we live in France, and we were extremely pleased. The hotel is in a beautiful setting and you'll have amazing views of the forest from most rooms and from the pool. The pool is also great, and it was one of the things that made us choose this hotel, as we wanted to relax and enjoy the hot summer weather. The staff is 5 stars! From the reception, to the restaurant, everyone was extremely polite, welcoming and friendly. We don't speak German very well, and everyone made us feel comfortable by speaking in English with us (a special thanks to the gentleman that served us dinner both nights!). The hotel is also very clean and comfortable. Our room was spacious, had a lovely garden and we felt at home here. The restaurant is also amazing! Our dinner was excellent, really, with healthy, fresh and rich ingredients, but without all that nonsense new-trend cuisine. We loved it! Also, we think the hotel is a great value if you choose half-board. We think the price of the room, with everything you have access to (spa, pool, beautiful forest...), is extremely reasonable considering the quality food (and generous portions!) you get. Also, lunch/brunch is included (with salads, a lot of fresh and delicious fruit, cakes, etc), and you also have fruit and tea in a space by the pool and spa. We thought is was so generous! Overall, we were extremely pleased and we'll definitely be coming back in the future. It's German quality and German hospitality at its best! Highly, highly recommended!

Communal areas are very modern and welcoming with a total focus on guests feeling fulfilled and happy. Well done! The pool and spa areas were immaculately clean, well designed and as relaxing as possible. Lastly the restaurant, it left nothing to be desired in the evening and breakfast was high quality too.

What can I say!

What can I say! I was born here :) It's always great to be back. At the foot of the Black Forest, close the Rhein river and French border, one of the oldest Gothic cathedrals in Europe, the Freiburger Münster, a picturesque marketplace right in front bustling with life and the splendour of regional fresh produce on Saturdays (and my favorite bratwurst on a nippy Sat, 'die Lange Rote' :) Martinstor, Schwabentor, Colombi Schloessle, Schlossberg, Lorettoberg, University of Freiburg, the new Konzerthaus, Stadttheater, the Dreisam River. I remember hopping along the little canals (Bächle) as a kid when visiting my grandparents. Some cool new salsa festivals that draws people from all over Europe and internationally twice a year. You can feel the literally feel and see the cultural closeness to Switzerland and France. And the people! Freiburg people are the friendliest people in G I know! I might be biased but in my mind Freiburg is probably one of the most beautiful places in Germany you can visit any season :)

With excellent and well priced public transport Baden baden and surrounding areas are easily travelled and enjoyed. We rambled in the day in the Black Forrest hills on well marked walking trails and then soaked in the Thermal baths in town! Freiburg and Karsrhule are 1 hour away by train and covered another regional day ticket. Take the bus up to the Black Forrest National park and have an amazing time!

Well before I just heard about Pforzheim being a jewellery and gold town. I did not know about its almost complete destruction in WW2 and how poorly it was rebuilt and how dreadful it still looks. I thought I have seen the worst German towns already... A fun fact, it was rebuilt to be very accessible for cars yet the modern politicians have decided to make it a 30 km/H zone. So you have big transit streets and have to drive slower than a bike. Although everything there looks also dreadfully poor (although they are not really poor unlike other places in other parts of Germany) we even saw some high society sipping some drinks near the Enz river. It is a weird place. It was worth coming here to appreciate more other places.

We used this location to spend time in Basel. Main train station had a tram that went to Basel every 15 minutes. Make sure you travel with your passport if you are going to go to Switzerland or France as passports are being checked itermittendly at the borders. Our property was approx. a 20 min walk to the trainstation. Flat city, many shops and restaurants along the way. If you go at Christmas time, the Christmas market was at the front of the hotel.

Titisee-Neustadt is a charming town with a lot to offer.

Titisee-Neustadt is a charming town with a lot to offer. The lake is beautiful and perfect for a relaxing stroll, and the town center is full of character, with lovely little shops, cozy restaurants, and plenty of ice cream stands. It’s a great place for a peaceful getaway and to enjoy the Black Forest atmosphere. However, one unpleasant experience during our visit was dinner at Musse am See – Bio Asia Dining. We were a group of 3 adults and 4 children, and we ordered at 8:20 PM. The service was extremely slow and disorganized: The first dish (for one child) arrived at 8:50 PM. Two more dishes (for adults) came at 9:05 PM. The remaining four meals (for one adult and three children) didn’t arrive until 9:20 PM. A simple Sprite took over 15 minutes, and only arrived after my friend went to the counter to ask about it. The staff seemed unaware until she pointed it out. To make matters worse, the waiter spilled the Sprite onto one of the children’s meals, which completely ruined it—and the child didn’t eat after that. I love Asian food, but this was by far the most disappointing experience I’ve had at an Asian restaurant. It was a real letdown in an otherwise lovely town.

Feldberg is a beautiful town and when there is snow, it most definately would be a nice ski-resort. However, we forgot to order the snow 😉. Better luck next time 😊 However Titisee and Schluchsee a nearby if you want to make an excursion. Even so, we enjoyed our stay in Feldberg.

VS-Villingen is a Medieval walled city within easy driving (or train) distance of many of the attractions in the Black Forest area of Germany. It is one hour and 15 minutes from either Zurich or Stuttgart International airports. It has an incredible Fastnacht celebration in February. Like Mardi Gras in the USA, it is celebrated during the last days before the start of Lent (Ash Wednesday). The parades are amazing with ancient wooden face masks and elaborate costumes representing the various regions.

Would like to have seen more taxis for exposure/availability. Ettlingen needs more bus stops where you can get on or get off of the bus. Restuarants could have more sugar free drinks available. Encourage staff at attractions & entertainment to learn English. Offer 3 wheeled bikes to rent.
