  Very traditional

  The hotel is located in the heart of Bad Herrenalb with quiet dated decor all around but the old fashion setting of the hotel adds a little character and charm to the whole experience. The rooms are dated but clean. The breakfast selection is never ending - everything you can wish for is there. The owners are very friendly and very helpful. If you are after a traditional black forest feel - you will find it here.

  Old but clean

  I stayed at the hotel for 5 nights, and as such, the hotel is a good, average hotel. The hotel is clean, the staff are nice and friendly, and the breakfast is OK. But everything seems old and outdated, like it has not been updated for 30-50 years. Bathrooms are old and used, small holes in the wall etc... So there is nothing wrong with this little hotel, but it is just to old to be a nice place to stay. Only real complaint is about the very unstable Wifi connection on my room. Would say that for a one night stay over it is fine, but anymore i would not recommend.

  Good Service

  Stayed at this hotel recently for one evening. Other reviewers are right that it is old and a little outdated. However, I also agree that it adds to the uniqueness of the place (just like the unusual décor in the breakfast room!). But it was a good value and the service was excellent. The staff (owners?) were very helpful and accommodating to every request and at least one of them spoke better English than most Americans!

  Unique! You love it or you hate it - I loved it.

  First criteria on the hotel check list: is it clean and well-located? The answer is a big YES! The rooms are spacious as are the bathrooms, and everything is clean, very clean. True, the hotel isn't recent but I liked the feeling of time travel (again, as long as the hygiene is allright). Water in the bathroom comes from the same spring as the thermal water, so that bathing in the evening is an extra spa moment. The shower curtain was spotless, looked new, no mold, no stains - not always the case, even in more expensive places. Comfy bed, great views. Breakfast is unique as well. I love those German breakfasts where you have a choice of sweet or saltened. Buffet was not kilometer-long, but the products were fresh and local - the smoked ham was real, local, Black Forest, excellent quality meat and did definitely not taste like plastic-wrapped, mass-feeding stuff. Coffee was German-style, not Italian, yet they are some of the few people who actually manage to make this form of american-style brewed coffee tasty. The breakfast room in itself is quaint - and the lady made me laugh when she told me the secret to how to clean the fox - Yes, there is a stuffed fox in the breakfast room. Hunting used to be local culture in the woods, I don't travel to judge culture and tradition and found it added a touch of humor to the room. I also liked that one bottle of water was offered with the room, and that a fridge with beverages was accessible to the customers on a trusting basis that you would pay for your beverages on check out. For those with the "inspector Derrick" cultural reference: I felt like being in an old German series, but in a good way! It gave the place a truely unique flavor, far from all stereotyped and in the end esthetically boring new hotels. I liked the "cabinet de curiosités" touch of it.

  Quaint

  Easter weekend 2018: to be honest this hotel was exceptional value. The hotel and in particular the decor was dated but the couple who manage and run it welcoming and helpful. Breakfast is buffet style plenty of cereal fruit meats and cheese and bread as well as fresh coffee or tea and choice of juice. On the negative side Bad Herrenalb is okay for a couple of nights. A great place for walking the walk over the hill to Dobel with stunning views towards Karlsruhe and the Vosges are worthwhile. That said Bad Herrenalb doesn't have a lot more to offer, some of the cafes and restaurants only open at the weekend and the bar in town is a smokers paradise. Thankfully Karlsruhe and Ettlingen are relatively close by as are Baden Baden (the latter by bus). As a solo traveller I wouldn't make Bad Herrenalb my first choice perhaps with a partner it would be okay. The hotel has been around since 1856 has a lot of unused space is good value for money and probably has a fascinating history and it is possible that I would go back for a weekend.v
