Jufa Hotel Schwarzwald

Beautiful view Old building. Beds were for children. Off the beaten path. No elevator

Very friendly staff at reception and restaurant. Good Information on day trips, biking and hiking. Compliments! Rooms are basic, bathroom small but clean Unfortunately our night rests were disrupted by loud snorking and coughing neighbours. Mattresses quality could be better South side rooms with nice view (only) recommended. WiFi OK, sometimes bit unstable. A la carte food very well prepared (Schnitzel, Rumpsteak, Rindsfilet). Prompt delivery by friendly staff. Also day menus available. Breakfast as of 0730h. Boiled and scrambled eggs, dedicated table per booking.

What a wonderful location. The views are spectacular! Staff and service were hands down some of the best on our 2 week Europe tour.

We were returning to this hotel following a stay before covid. The hotel has had new owners since 2021 and is part of the JUFA chain. We received a friendly welcome and details of the hotel were explained to us, we were given a menu to choose our evening meal. The room was very good with a balcony over looking the valley with beautiful pastural views. There was a good bathroom with an excellent shower. We had a problem with the basin which was fixed the next day. One of the main reasons for coming back to this hotel was the food, which sadly was not up to the same standard. Breakfasts were badly organised with food either not being put out or replaced when empty. The evening meal was 3 courses for 29 euros with a basic starter and a limited choice of main course, one night it was either chicken or fish curry. The hotel has a large pool which was fine but some of the ceiling panels had fallen out and not been replaced. The location is excellent and may be enough for us to come back in the future but the food needs to improve first.

We stayed at this hotel on 16th March 2023. I had stayed at this hotel previously with my son before it became "JUFA" and as my wife and I were hiking our way through the Black Forest, it seemed the ideal location to end our trip. The welcome we received was friendly, and we made use of the swimming pool and sauna, which were lovely at the end of a day's hiking. The rooms and facilities (including the swimming pool) seem a little tired. It doesn't appear that much has been done in the way of maintenance since I last stayed 9 years ago. The Sauna was the only exception, which appeared well maintained. Our room had a cracked sink, which when you consider that the hotel was not busy, you would think they could have put us in a better room with no defects. This was also the only hotel on our trip where we were given two single beds pushed together as a double. We were told at check-in that we could only have a fixed menu (halb-pension), which was understandable as there weren't many people staying. There were options for the main course, and I chose the Sea Bass (Wolfbarsch), and my wife chose the mushroom tagliatelle. The food was simply awful. The worst food of our trip. The tomato soup was totally salty, way over seasoned. Both our main courses were bland at best. The tagliatelle was a demonstration of lazy, unimaginative cooking. No sauce, just mushrooms cooked in butter, served with over cooked pasta (I would feel sorry for vegitarians staying here, if that is their only choice). I can't say exactly what we had for dessert, but whilst my wife's looked fresh, whereas mine looked like it had been sitting around for a week (see my photos) in any case both were equally in-edible. When this was raised to the waitress, we were offered no apology and didn't see her again. Breakfast was buffet style. I think somethings were not fresh, and they may have been served up more than once. The sliced cheese, for example, was curling up at the edges, which is not normal (especially as we were not at a late breakfast sitting). We were careful what we selected to eat. On a positive note the staff in general were friendly and we enjoyed the sauna and swimming pool. However, this hotel is way below par, and I would not recommend it unless there is significant improvement.We stayed at this hotel on 16th March 2023.
