Die Reichsstadt - Hotel Spa Und Restaurant

We made a last minute decision to spend a couple of days in the Black Forrest area. The village is beautiful though not extremely lively. The hotel is centrally located, staff is very friendly, breakfast was excellent with a great variety and we enjoyed the whirlpool and small pool. It was hot outside so we were looking for a room with airconditioning which worked perfectly. Our room (211) was large with nice furniture and a spacious modern bathroom. Most sightseeings are within 30 tot 60 minutes drive so we managed to see a lot of this stunning part of Europe. We had dinner twice in Cocotte with excellent food and service. Breakfast in the garden was a great way to start the day! To park in the village download the app Parkster.

Very comfortable hotel right in the middle of charming Gengenbach. All very fresh and modern and, as often in Germany, expect no sign of antiquity even though you’re in an old building. Our room had a king-size bed, the bathroom was super-modern impressive (though it was a bit odd there wasn’t a door into it - though there was into the separate loo) and the air-con (for which we paid extra) was terrific and necessary - including for the fact that it’s one of those villages in Germany and Austria where the (quite close) church rings its bells throughout the night. There’s a very pleasant garden where they serve meals including breakfast. The breakfast buffet (included in our room price) was very impressive including for the fact that they will make you any egg dish you fancy. The omelettes are excellent. We were able to park right next to the hotel - it’s a bit tight but staff moved around cars as needed. The offer of complimentary drinks on arrival was a nice gesture. We paid €320 a night plus €10 for parking which was pricey. But it was very pleasant and, if your budget stretches to it, recommended. And by the way - do the pleasant, easy walk up to the pilgrimage Bergkapelle overlooking the town. And the Mercyscher Hof next door to the hotel has an attractive beer garden under old plane trees.

Good hotel with comfortable rooms (some have terrace, coffee machine, large bathroom). Breakfast buffet is good. We had diner as well in their restaurant and was very nice. Parking place are not easy in the area if you have a bigger car. Some rooms don’t have air conditioning… so can be very warm in the room. Staff is ok but not very friendly… typical Dutch hospitality…

Excellent in all regards, exceeded expectations. Just book it. Quality experience with friendly hosts, quiet rooms and spa facilities. Delicious breakfast. Great location in old town area. We enjoyed our dinner in brasserie next door also run by hotel owners.

We loved staying in this hotel in Gengenbach. Service is excellent. The staff is always welcoming and friendly. The room was a decent size with all amenities for tea and coffee. They have a great breakfast and even offer a small lunch for free. We didn’t use the pool and spa facilities but they are available. It has a lovely restaurant sitting area outside to have all meals in summer. The AC worked well in our room and we looked out into a lovely view of the mountains. The only con was the shower. The floor becomes very wet as there is no threshold and for a four star I expected more shower amenities.

Such a fantastic hotel, the friendly welcome, complimentary drink on arrival, location and super rooms. The facilities are wonderful and the outside gardens so peaceful. Every staff member is invested in ensuring that guests are well looked after and go out of their way to be helpful. The breakfast is the most fantastic we have ever experienced and we can't wait to return.
