We were a bit taken aback when we arrived at the hotel to find that it has a train line running next to it, but this turned out not to be a disturbance at all, and we enjoyed being able to sleep with our window open, hearing only the sound of the little stream that also runs past it. The location is very convenient for hiking in the Black Forest, and the cute town of Baiersbronn is just a short train ride or drive away. While the typical, rather over-done Bavarian decor is not to our taste, our room was extremely spacious and comfortable and we were happy to spend three nights there. The bed was great, and the bathroom a pleasure to use. The breakfast buffet is varied and generous. We also had dinner at the restaurant twice, taking the a la carte option, and the food was good, and, again, generous, but the service was extremely slow. This put us off eating there again and rather going into Baiersbronn to seek another option. This was the one drawback in an otherwise lovely stay at this hotel.
