Boutique Hotel Rose

Whimsical, magical, beautiful perfect boutique hotel. So tastefully decorated. Clean. Quiet. The staff are so helpful and pleasant. The hotel itself was a highlight of our trip! We are looking forward to returning!

So it was an odd but not unpleasant stay at Rose Boutique. There are big positives. It has a great location tucked away from noise and traffic, has a Netto supermarket 30seconds walk and is about 5mins walk to the central plaza. The rooms are nicely furnished, had a big shower and even a small kitchen with fridge that was really useful. The negatives though really let down the experience for me. The service was poor - my flight arrived late so the hotel was locked with no staff around and no instructions in English to understand how to enter. It took me 20mins to reach someone and was directed to a lock box with my room/entrance key. My room, whilst nice, had a strange smell and as a single occupant they'd only given me a single duvet for my double bed which just seemed weird. I didn't actually see a staff member until I was moments from checking out when there was a banging on the door telling me I was late checking out, despite my ********** confirmation clearly showing otherwise. The curt staff member told me I should take it up with ********** and that I was being let off a €15 late check out fee because it was my 'first time'. I have to say it really took the shine off an otherwise lovely weekend in Baden Baden. All in all, looking at other reviews, there seems to be an issue with staff and guests feeling welcome. Something to work on I guess.

Had a nice stay. It was very hard to get ahold of the reception as they apparently close at 2 on Sundays. If you book this hotel, make sure you get the code to the key box in advance. Fortunately we found a nice little lunch restaurant nearby where we could spend 1,5h before the hotel returned my call to tell me the code to the key box. Very nice breakfast. Found an unidentified bug in the room but it was big (not a lice, flee or bed bug) so I guess that's just German fauna. Overall nice stay and the room was clean.

Fabulous stay, good buffet breakfast and comfortable, spacious rooms. Heads up: no air conditioning in the bedroom and summer is quite warm.

Great stay.
