A hidden gem! Tucked…read moreaway in the small village of Zell, Germany, Hotel Klosterbraustuben is a bonafide home-away-from-home. Made up of several separate buildings, each multi-floor unit is quiet, clean and comfortable. These buildings are within a neighborhood so you're away from any bustling traffic or noise. Not that Zell has the noise of a large city, but there is fairly constant traffic throughout the day. The rooms are cozy, clean and just right. I stayed on the second floor of one of the buildings, facing the back garden. I had a nice small balcony to go out one, if I wanted. Within the main building is a bar and full restaurant. The restaurant is where you can can have breakfast, lunch or dinner. Breakfast consisted of a buffet style breakfast with many different options to choose from. For dinner, the restaurant is open to the public so you are likely to meet locals when dining in. Everything that I tried on the menu was great. I don't remember all of the items that I tried, but I didn't have anything that I didn't like. This hotel doesn't feel like a hotel. It has more of an apartment feel that really feels like home rather than your typical apartment. For the most part, many on staff at the hotel do speak a certain level of English. Some more than others and some not much at all. This is where Google Translate and a little bit of proactive homework come into play. I always like to learn some basic greetings and phrases when traveling to a non-English speaking country. Hello, goodbye, good morning, please, thank you, etc. I've always been of the mindset that most other countries either mandate English speaking classes in school or people take the initiative to learn. The least that I can do is try to show the same respect and learn what I can. The location of the hotel is just outside of the center of Zell. Zell is a small quaint village that is absolutely stunning. You're about a 5 - 10 minute walk from the center of town and I would encourage anyone to make the walk and stroll down the main street and have a look at the shops and stop in one of the restaurants for a drink or a meal. Would I go back? As this hotel is close to Nordrach, where I have one of my offices, then yes, I will definitely be back. I probably wouldn't normally find myself in this part of Germany, but it is my good fortune that I get to visit this area periodically. Zell and Nordrach are beautiful parts of the country consisting of big green landscapes surrounded by hills and mountains that are perfectly picturesque.

Outstanding Hotel in Durbach. Close to everything and well equipped for the traveler or local. We…read morewere here for an anniversary of a friend and stayed several days. Got the big suite which was wunderbar. One of the outstanding things was the supplied breakfast which was "continental" but not like people think in America. They had tons to eat, including beautiful breads, wurst, cheese and charcuterie plus boiled eggs, fruit and all types of cereal. It was staggering. Just no hot stuff like pancakes or an omelette station which we think of in the States. Remember we are guests in their living room, so minimize your expectations of "American Style" and maintain your Smooveness. Grounds are breathtakingly beautiful. They even have a lawn Roomba which was about the coolest thing I have ever seen. Lots of weddings here so you can imagine how pretty the place is. Great restaurant too and used to accommodating large groups. The staff here is formal but very friendly. Don't look for a pool. That is unusual in these parts. We rented bikes and toured the countryside; the town was old and awesome. Very quaint with loads of shopping. So much good stuff to eat, at every turn. You cannot go wrong at any local eating places and almost everyone speaks English. We toured the castle, which was physically beautiful but a bit too tourist-centric for my tastes. There was a great little ice cream place there that you shouldn't miss. Parking in a pain in the ass, but doable as long as you have a small car. Car is a must in this region of Germany, BTW. No getting around it. This is the second time we've been here and the hotel just gets better and better. We are looking forward to our next trip.

You'll feel you're in another world, out in the country…read more I travel to the Nordrach/Zell area frequently for business. As I've grown familiar with the area, it's a small town in the heart of The Black Forest. Scenic, quiet and near perfection. Typically, my company has us stay at another hotel. On one occasion, that hotel was full so I needed to look into another location. At the time, I had no idea the good fortune I was about to discover. Only 5 minutes from the main street of the small town of Zell, Zum Pflug somehow transports you to another world, only a couple of miles down the road. As you exit the main part of Zell, a few twists an turns away, you find yourself in this little nook of a neighborhood. Country like and very European, obviously. In the middle of it, you'll find what looks like a larger house, or old building which is Zum Pflug. Not a ton of parking, but I've never had trouble finding a spot. There are two entrances. What appears to be the main entrance takes you through the pub/restaurant and you make your way over to the front desk to check in. Zum Pflug is run by a wonderful woman named Valtraud and her husband. They work seemingly tirelessly at providing a stellar service experience. When you walk in, you can smell the food and instantly become hungry. After checking in, you walk up stairs to the hotel rooms. There is an elevator available, if needed. You're given your key - a real key on a keychain - and check out your room. During m visit, I was with a group of people. Some rooms seem to vary and I believe there are different levels. I was in a basic single room. Like many hotels in Europe, the room is quite small but you have everything that you need. The bed is pretty standard for European accommodations. Not a very think cushiony mattress, but it does get the job done. The bathroom, in my particular room, was extremely small but efficient. Sink, toilet, shower. You could literally touch all three no matter where you stand. In fact, the glass shower doors turn inward to give you more room to move around. Interesting design. There isn't much of a closet but rather closet nook with cubby shelves on each side for you things. Because of the area, the hotel is quiet, especially at night. It really feels more like a B&B, but it is a hotel. Now - caution if you're not used to visiting European countries, especially in smaller towns. There is no air conditioning in the room. I happened to be there during the hottest weeks of 2025 in June. +90F temperatures with extremely high humidity. It literally feels like a steam bath. After the first night, I found my way to OBI (much like a Home Depot, in the US or B&Q, in the UK, but on steroids). For 20 Euros, I bought a desktop oscillating fan. This was a life saver, if you struggle with the heat. After my 2 weeks at Zum Pflug, myself and some of the others I was traveling with simply left our fans at the hotel. So, you may want to ask the front desk if they have any fans to use. Then there is the bar restaurant. For breakfast they have a very traditional European buffet. Meats, cheeses, cereals, yogurts, etc. But Valtraud asks if you'd like eggs and/or bacon, which she makes to order. Dinner is phenomenal. The menu does change periodically and it appears to be mostly farm-to-table foods. I've yet to have a bad meal in Germany, and Zum Pflug was absolutely no exception. Great meals every time. Even on the nights we ate dinner elsewhere, we either had a drink before venturing out and/or when we returned to the hotel. Manuela was a great server throughout our stay. Always remembering what we liked and made some great recommendations. And, of course, Valtraud was walking around, serving, cleaning and having a drink with her regular guests when she had time. I have no idea if/when this woman sleeps. There is plenty of seating inside of the pub/restaurant area but and perfect and quaint outside patio, which is where we spent most of our time. Would I go back? I simply cannot wat to go back. The following month I was in town again but unfortunately had to stay at another hotel. But I did bring my group for that week to Zum Pflug for dinner one evening and had a great time. In the future, Zum Pflug will easily be my first choice in accommodations when I have the option.
