The chief would come out and help me with the menu and customized a few items. In the end the food and beer where the best I've had in Germany.

It doesn't provide air conditioning, at least in my room. A nice fan is provided for warmer days. All of this reflects the penchant of many Europeans to avoid A/C. Their breakfasts are quite nice for the 16 euros one pays. I paid in advance for all of my days. There is a good restaurant next door, literally attached to the lobby. The staff is friendly, accommodating, and multilingual.

The only down side is that the property is in a sleeping village, completely removed from any…read moreshops, pubs or points of interest. But my week's stay there was punctuated by restful sleep, delicious breakfasts, two absolutely spectacular dinners, lovely quiet surroundings, and very helpful and attentive staff. The old fashioned charm, successfully updated with modern comforts, made for a very enjoyable stay on the edge of the Black Forest. The higher elevation guaranteed snow almost every night - so waking up and driving through the forest roads and open fields covered with the fresh coating of white was such a nice way to start each day -- of course the fact that I did not need to shovel nor clear the snow off the car was a big factor in my positive attitude :-) Ask for a room at the end of a hallway - it will be more quiet than near a hallway door or the elevator. I changed my room - and the staff was quite accommodating. Very few people speak English, but the owner does, and goes out of his way to ensure his guests enjoy their stay. One negative is the poor wifi signal at the property.

This is a nice little boutique hotel not far from the Black Forest. Fantastic view from our room…read moreover a small village in the valley down below. Beautiful rolling hills with lots of greenery. Great comfortable bed but the place has some issues & is a little dated. Includes an excellent breakfast with fresh bread, hot boiled eggs & a selection of deli meats & cheeses, jams, etc. Parking was free & had ample spots available. Absolutely no issue with safety at all. Owner & family were excellent & very polite. Our room was nice as I mentioned but the carpet & decor were very 1980ish. There was some mold in the shower & some of the rooms were under construction (will likely be better in the future). The toilet seat was loose & I kept slipping off! With these corrections this could easily move to a 5-Star Hotel!
