8.4/10 Very Good! (69 reviews)
Clean, but very dated decor. Manager very unfriendly and needs to work on hospitality skills. Plan on an early breakfast as buffet food is not replenished if you arrive after 9:15 AM. Great locale, with many restaurants within walking distance. Note: property has no elevator or AC

9/10 Wonderful! (282 reviews)
Great location, fantastic chef/owner who is very personable and always cares about the patrons. Been returning to this hotel for the past 8 years. The food, wine pairing are incredible reflecting the talent and the passion of the owner. Wonderful Baden-Württemberg in southwest Germany, on the edge of the Black Forest. Spa and pool complete the package and its location ideal for a short stop to continue travel to France, north or south Germany or for spending a few days exploring Freiburg.
