Clean, good space and well equipped. Great base if you would like to hike and visit the towns around that region of the black forest. Host was extremely kind and replies fast to any questions. Owns a beautiful cat which was a plus point! Would return if an opportunity arises.

This is so close to the advent calendar and several restaurants, perfect location! It was a very big room with bed, couch, and dining room and full kitchen. Very clean. I wish we had stayed longer than two nights.

Gengenbach itself is a very small little town but quite cute. The food is predominantly Italian - still don't know why. In town itself I don't think you need more than a day, but you are close to Strassburg and several other small towns, hikes and wineries nearby.

We chose Gengenbach as a base as it was easy to get train to other places and go for local walks. It is a pleasant village which is quite picturesque. It is not touristy. There are quite a few restaurants. Menus only in German so make sure you have a phrase book!

What an amazing village and the location of the property was perfect. In the evenings the entire family (8) met at the cafe owned by the property owners and had ice cream, dessert, wine and or beer. DELICIOUS!! It was a lovely way to end each day. We all want to come back!

This is a small friendly town with lots of dining options, a museum, a night-time tour of the town with a historical talk by the Nachtwaechter, beautiful church. In December the Rathaus is turned into the "world's largest Advent calendar."

A real Schwarzwald Town with all the 'old' buildings. Loved it.
Restaurants open at 6pm for evening meal.
Traditional German food, but also Italian. Not sure about other food types. Backery and Ice Cream open all day.
Relaxed feeling while being there.

1) Gengenbach is a picturesque and quaint town in the Black Forest region. It has good transport connections to other towns in Black Forest and makes a good base for visiting Black Forest.
2) Unfortunately when we were there in end-Sep 2022, there were numerous train delays between Gengenbach and Munich and on many routes throughout Germany. On our 2nd day there, a strike in France went on for 36 hours and caused reduced train service and worse train delays. Train schedules were so fluid that they changed from as frequently as every 30 mins. All this added an additional 5 hours to our total travelling time between towns in Black Forest, which originally would have taken only about 2 hours both ways. It was very trying and almost ruined our experience in Black Forest.
3) Gengenbach is mostly German-speaking and the shops, restaurants and hotels had few English-speaking staff. We were the few Asian people there and at most of these places, we received many long stares and people were always very surprised to hear us speak fluent English.
4) At Frei (Steinkellerhaus) restaurant, we walked in to ask for a table for 4. The restaurant was only half empty. A male waiter rudely told us that he had a table but their menus were only in German and they had no English menu. When we politely asked it if it was possible for him to let us know the menu items in English, he became even more rude and angrily told us that we had to translate the menu into English ourselves using the Internet and looked ready to kick us out of the restaurant. We found this terribly offensive and left immediately.
5) It is truly unfortunate that such a picturesque area which has inspired world famous fairytales, is the home of Black Forest cake and ham and whose main industry is tourism, has limited itself by language. If only it catered better to English-speaking tourists …
The apartment is very clean and spacious. Good enough for 3-4 people or family with 2 kids. The beds are comfortable, kitchen is well equipped. The location is great: 5 minutes walking to Gengenbach town centre, 10 minutes to the supermarket, tank station is right behind the corner. Free parking just in front of the house. However do not expect great views from the window - the apartment is actually in the (semi-)basement. For us this was not a problem at all, as the weather was good and we spent most of the time outside.
The apartment was big enough for a family of 5 and had all the facilities one might need. Basic food stuff like oil, sugar, coffee etc were also available which was a plus. It was also very clean and right in the center of Gengenbach. Parking was also available in a garage just down the road. It might be tricky to find it at first but Ann-Katrin was very helpful and not only answered me immediately but also sent her daughter to meet us and show us where it was. A few minutes by walk to restaurants, bakery etc.
Lovely village/small town. The old town, where the hotel is located, is absolutely picture box. We were in a modern annexe down an alleyway close to the hotel. Nice, large rooms, comfortable beds, fan provided, shower was powerful, kettle & tea bags provided. Staff very friendly & helpful (provided coffee in insulated container & milk as no coffee bags or milk provided in room initially). Good choice of cold buffet type breakfast. Very competitive pricing.
Beautiful place to stay. Rooms are cozy.
Staff; different experiences , some were super nice , some bit confusing , trying to sell the wine and getting agitated at not buying it (maybe).
special mentions to the Philippines Lady at breakfast time who take care of us. Hotel should employ more kind people like her
Would recommend the place if you plan to stay at Gengenbach . It is certainly a place to relax n unwind.
The location could not be any better - just steps from the quaint and charming center of Gengenbach. The apartment is very spacious, exceptionally clean with everything that you will need. When I had a problem starting the washing machine, the owner was over in minutes to show me what to do. Such a comfortable place to come home to after long days of exploring.
We had a lovely stay at this hotel. Something thing's to keep in if you would like towels more often. We were told they only change towels every five days and there was a fee of 3 euros fee if you wanted towels daily. After reviewing policies and extra fee's. I did not see the extra towel fee. I would highly suggest adding that to acrew fee's area.
Excellent breakfast buffet including eggs cooked to order. Restaurant was of a high standard and fair price. Perfect room: everything in perfect condition, extremely clean, comfy beds, good-sized bathroom, nice balcony with morning sun. Very nice walks straight from the hotel. For dinner, book the restaurant in advance to secure a table.
This was a beautiful place in an amazing little town. It was full of character and really nicely presented. It was great staying somewhere so old and in such a lovely location. Gengenbach itself was a brilliant place, loads of restaurants and cafes in beautiful countryside.
The owner of the hotel is very nice to all her guests! Even the breakfast seems very homely as she personally serves the scrambled eggs and hot beverages to you. This hotel also gives a free KONUS Guest card to tourists, so u get to take the public transport for free!
The Location was awesome! It is as close to downtown Gengenbach as you can possibly get. This makes walks in the city a breeze, especially in the early morning. The apartment was very clean and had nearly everything you'd need.
Really spacious room. We had a small dining table, sofa and a large bed in our room. Well lit and comfy room. Staff was really nice as well. Gengenbach centre is a 5 min walk from the hotel. And we loved the breakfast!
Great apartment 5 minute walk from Gengenbach old town. Daniela the host was great and the apartment was perfect. Warm and comfortable. Awesome shower, great bedroom, nice kitchen and living area. Excellent value.
The restaurant downstairs was phenomenal and served one of the best meals of my trip, breakfast was also impressive. Staff were lovely and helpful. I’d certainly make it a stop on my next trip back to Germany!
Perfect location for the train and the town. Very pretty town. Very convenient car parking because we took bicycles. A nice room with balcony and a good meal in the hotel restaurant.
