Nice but sparse facility. Room was small. There were no staff members on site. We had to go down the street to check in and get our key. The free breakfast was also down the street at the same restaurant where we got our key. Rather strange arrangement.

Well-situated, unclear rules
The location of the hotel is optimal, right in front of the two main bath complexes in Baden-Baden and right off of the main pedestrian walkway where all the restaurants and shops are situated. Parking is a five-minute walk away and first-come, first-serve (I got the last spot at 1330h). The bedroom has plenty of space and light, but the bathroom is cramped. The service was generally adequate, but the hotel's policy of locking the front door during the afternoon while no one is at the desk is not stated, and can leave patrons abandoned outside and having to wait for assistance. It is not clear patrons need to have their room key on them at all times to be able to access the hotel. The breakfast was good if not greatly varied. Patrons pay for the location; the hotel's rates are much more expensive than those of surrounding establishments.

Comfortable hotel in old town
A somewhat dated but nevertheless clean hotel inside the old town within walking distance of the Christmas market. Car parking at a business parking was offered at 10Eu for the night...and the receptionist showed me the way personally. I really appreciated that. Breakfast was adequate... usual continental breakfast, with freshly cut fruit.

Comfortable
Nice place to stay. Good price for very central location. Clean. Comfortable bed. Probably best to ask for a room not on the street as early morning street noise ?trash collection. Very good breakfast. Would definitely stay again.

Hotel is right in the city centre which is a plus. However reception closes at 5.00 pm and after that you need to find a restaurant which they also run down the street in order to check in. Room was very small with no air conditioning. It is only a 3 star hotel but felt more like a hostel. Certainly not good for loan female travelers as there is no staff on site after reception closes.

Hotel Bischoff
The hotel is literally across the street from the Friedrichsbad. The bathroom was very small, but we were going to the baths anyway and didn't need a large shower. The breakfast room was bright and sunny with lots of nice choices from the breakfast buffet included in the hotel price. The front desk is not staffed overnight, but there is a phone with a direct line to the receptionist at another hotel very close by.

Very basic, a little smoky
Overall an okay experience. The room was very basic, but they did provide a small fan, which I was thankful for. The hotel was an old building, but looked well updated and maintained. The bathroom was quite small, with the shower being a little uncomfortable for my tall husband. We were also frustrated that while we had a non-smoking room, the hallway smelled very strongly of smoke, my husband had to block the crack under our door to prevent smelling it. It's also located on a busy street in the central shopping district of the town, which was convenient for food and shopping, but very loud when we had our windows open. We could also smell smokers who walked by on the street. They also happened to be doing and construction on the building across the street, and it was also trash day, so we were woken up very early by trucks and the noise reached ridiculous levels by 7 or 8 in the morning. But I think we were just unlucky with our timing. The staff was very nice and helpful with all of our questions or requests, but they did have the least amount of English of all the hotels we stayed in.

Close to Spas
Hotel is across the street from two of the main spas in town. The location can't be beat - it's right in the heart of town. There isn't any air conditioning, and it was hot when we visited, but I'm pretty used to Germany not having AC. There were two portable fans in the room that we used while sleeping. The rate included breakfast, and it was adequate. Includes breads, cheeses, meats, cereals, juices, etc. Would stay again - the price was reasonable.

My stay at Bischoff
My 2 night stay was awesome. Small & homely. Lift was good for luggage. Location was excellent. 2 min walk from Caracalla & directly across Friedericks bad. Room rate was competitive. Vouchers for spa & coffee were appreciated. Receptionist was not there evenings but made sure all my needs were taken care of. Internet was a bit broken but she went out of her way to connect me. I would definately staty there again.

Heaven in the alps.
Storybook setting. A wonderland of alpine living. Bedroom views of Europe's highest peaks while below your balcony a pasture of goats, each with their melodic bells, lull you to sleep. Wake up to a great breakfast buffet with everything you could desire. A laid back lodge setting with a lobby full of large comfortable chairs lacks only a roaring fire in the fireplace to replicate a Norman Rockwell cover. Situated one stop toward the pass from Interlaken on the track that will ultimately convert to a cog wheel train and take you high up on the Jungfrau, Wilderswil is the ideal jumping off point. The train station is a 15 minute walk down a paved road. Bring both a movie and a still camera with extra batteries and plenty of memory . You will go from 1,916 feet (elevation) to 11,333 feet on the most spectacular ride I have ever experienced. Plan a snack on the outdoor tables at the train switchover station (Kleine Scheidegg, elevation 6,762) with good desserts made on site. Get the train ticket that brings you down to Grund and back to Wilderswil for a day to remember. If driving, plan a drive around the two lakes and spend few minutes in some of the quaint villages while snapping away. Hotel Berghof is ideally situated for all this and I feel fortunate to have discovered it on my first visit. There will be more!

Nice hotel with great location.(The entrance to Friedrichsbad is across the street.) Parking is 200 m from the hotel, which may be inconvenient for some. Some rooms are little on the small side.

Great location, Wifi not the best
The location was great... right across the street from Friedrichsbad. But it is a long way from the train station. The area has lots of shops and restaurants, so I found that very convenient. The WiFi was not very strong, but I suppose that's a small thing to complain about. The woman working the front desk was very nice and accommodating. Very friendly.

I had booked a room at Hotel Bischoff and had arrived to the city around 9:30pm. By the time I got there, there was no reception at the desk, and a gentleman at the restaurant around the corner told me that after hours I need to find the manager at Laterne Hotel & Restaurant as they manage both. I'm not sure how I would have found this out without his help. In spite of having a reservation, they did not have my room available at Bischoff, but instead gave me a room at Laterne for the same price. The room at Laterne was relatively nice, as was the staff. Can't comment on Bischoff other than my check-in experience.

Location, location, location!
The best location possible if you are going to either of the spas in town- literally right across the street from the Frederichsbad. The room was small by American standards but pretty average-large for a European hotel. It was clean and decorated nicely, but the bathroom was very small- which wasn't a problem because we just showered at the spa anyway. The breakfast was small for American standards but I thought it was terrific with a good assortment of meats and cheeses, fruit, eggs, yogurt, and bread. If I go to baden-baden again, I will probably stay here since it was very reasonably priced for what we got - but if you're from the US, don't be surprised at how small the rooms are, it's pretty standard for Germany.

Great Hotel
This hotel was located in a great location, just a few minutes from all of the shops in Baden-Baden. The room was great, very comfortable. And it had a refrigerator. The staff was very nice, offering to keep our luggage since we couldn't check in early. They even brought it up to our room once the room had been cleaned, so it was there when we returned. The breakfast included with the stay (a rarity) was delicious and had quite a bit to offer. Overall this was a great experience and I would stay there again without hesitation.

Awesome location
Amazing location. Across the street from the two major spas and Roman Spa ruins. Awesome location for walking to shops and restaurants. Try a restaurant called Fresh choice if you want a quick sandwich or frozen yogurt owner is from San Francisco and provides great food & hospitality. Near by Indian restaurant excellent for dinner. Hotel breakfast included was very nice. Room is very basic but you can't beat the location. No parking on site but a nice safe garage is walking distance away for about 15 euros per day. Park at the first garage you see or temporally under the Carcalla spa and walk to the hotel as driving to the property is difficult. Most of the streets are pedestrian only.

Terrible Experience
The address of this hotel is wrong in Hotels.com, it takes us 2 hours in the late night to find it. The worse thing happened then is that the hotel is not in-business. not sure why I could book it from hotels.com..., then it takes us another 1 hour to find another hotel in baden-baden at 1am in the morning.

Close to Friedrichsbad
We arrived after 8 pm. They are only open for 5 pm to check in at their hotel. We had been wandering around trying to find the hotel as there wasn't a map at the train station. We should have taken a taxi, but didn't. Once we finally found the location of the hotel, it was great that it was located right across from Friedrichsbad. That was our destination. However, because it was after 8 pm, we had to go to a different hotel to check in. We first went to the main hotel that was listed and they told us that we had to go to a different hotel to check in if it was before 11. So we proceeded to walk to a different hotel. We had to go through their restaurant to get to the reception area. It was a decent hotel, but an absolute pain to get checked in.

Room was well worth the money!
After reading some of the tripadvisor comments on this one I was a little scared. However, aside from checkout, I was able to speak English and get help with any of my concerns, my room was very clean, my bed was very comfortable and the location was great. Please don't get me wrong, the room was nothing in comparison to my friend's suite at the Dorint up the street but it was plenty large for a lot of European hotels. Don't be afraid of this one!
