Well located, clean and modern. A little noisy.
Pros:

A pleasant and modern hotel with good breakfast facilities and well located in the old town.

Cons:

Sadly there was a lot of early street noise that affected our sleep and the bed was also too hard for us. Staff not especially friendly either.

Top hotel top locatie
Pros:

We kregen upgrade naar suite. Wat een mooie kamer is dat. Alles zag er mooi en verzorgd uit.
Locatie midden in het idyllische dorp is ideaal. We moesten bij de deur dineren ivm ruhetag.
Maar er zitten in de omgeving genoeg leuke restaurantjes.

Very Nice Hotel in Picturesque Gengenbach
Pros:

Karoline the receptionist was very helpful and welcoming. Our room was in the newer guest wing a 1 minute walk around the corner from the main hotel. We had also reserved a car parking space which was in a secure garage adjacent to the guest wing.
Our room was very well appointed and had been beautifully decorated. Everything was exceptionally clean. Very, very good shower.
Breakfast was served in a traditional German pension style room in the older hotel building. It was all very nice and breakfast was very good. It was the continental type buffet breakfast.
The hotel is situated in the middle of the older picturesque part of Gengenbach with a variety of restaurants and shops.
We were very pleased with the standard of the hotel and the staff were very, very nice.

Cons:

We liked everything. It was very hot when we visited and we had a fan in our room as well as a full length opening French door opening on to a private, secure courtyard scene. There wasn't any air conditioning in our room but this did not affect us. Only mentioning this here so that others are aware that the hotel does at least provide a fan and a well ventilated room with the opportunity to open a large window.

Kurzer Übernachtungsstop an der A5
Pros:

Die Lage, das Personal, das Zimmer war alles gut und sehr freundlich. Parkplätze und auch eine Tiefgarage direkt an der Unterkunft.
Auf dem Rückweg aus Italien als Zwischenübernachtung genutzt, ein uns sonst unbekanntes Städtchen, welches uns positiv überrascht hat.
Eine schöne alte Fachwerk-Altstadt mit Türmen und netten Restaurants mit badischer Küche.
Genau passend um nach langer Autofahrt noch etwas zu schlendern und dann gut zu essen um ausgeschlafen weiterzuleiten.
Zur Küche des Hotels können wir nichts sagen, da war Betriebsurlaub.
