great location
Reviewed By hubeanBeautiful rooms. Nice bathroom products.Located right next to casino. noisy at night if you sleep with open window. Breakfast is the same every day - no variety at all if you stay for a long time. Front desk staff is nice, girl that works evenings was very helpful. No free parking, they have parking garage near by for fee and with very very unhelpful attendant. I would recommend this hotel.

Very adequate
Reviewed By 624deangWe stayed here just for one night en route to a longer stay in the Black Forest. The location was good as it was a 10 minute walk from the central station and on the corner of the City’s main st where shops and bars are located. The room was quite compact, the shower was powerful, though the cubical was a bit tight. There wasn’t a fridge which might have been an issue for us if we had stayed longer. The room also didn’t have a kettle but hot drinks were available down at the reception. The booking also included breakfast which was good, plenty of continental options together with scrambled egg and sausage as hot options. The only disappointing aspect was no toaster. Overall we were happy we chose City Hotel and would certainly stay again on a future trip to the City.

Great Stay at Freiburg Novotel am Konzerthaus
Reviewed By K8ReidOur trip to Freiburg was wonderful.. The hotel impressively filled its 4 star qualification with just one criticism. The bottle banks are held in the courtyard at the back of the hotel. Unfortunately someone had arranged for the bottle banks to be filled and emptied between 6 and 7 every morning. Not really the most relaxing sound to waken up to on holiday! Could the bottle banks be moved from their location - they are on wheels or could they be worked with at a time most people are already awake? Apart from this issue the hotel had some good features going for it. A delicious breakfast, very comfortable beds and a very handy location.

No social distance
Reviewed By Averna2014The hotel is very new and the rooms are cleaned. It’s not so far from the city center , half an hour on foot, 10 minutes by bus. My 3 stars are for their Organization of the breakfast: you have to say to the reception at what time you want to have breakfast but when you arrive nobody check that you are in your booked slot, so people come when they want and the result is that the buffet corner is crowded every hour and there is not any social distance. It’s not acceptable.

Great charm, but take care with room choice
Reviewed By higvinThe core of this hotel is an 1870s villa which retains its essentially original charms inside and out, including a pretty garden. Its dining areas, used for the excellent breakfast included in the room price, are very attractive, including for the antique furniture. The hotel also throws in complimentary afternoon tea in front of the very convincing fake open fire. The pick of the rooms are the quiet ones facing the garden on the first floor in the main building. But the hotel also has rooms in surrounding buildings. We had one in a converted second floor attic of a neighbouring building which faced a couple of nearby roads. There was some traffic noise but by the time we realised this we didn’t have the energy to figure out the air conditioning. So choose rooms carefully. The hotel is a few minutes’ walk to central Baden-Baden and its attractions. It also has parking (€20 or so a night). Friendly suggestion to the staff: drop the face masks. But overall recommended and reasonably priced by the standards of Baden-Baden’s other historic hotels.
10. Hotel Traube Tonbach

Awful dinner experience in the Black Forest
Reviewed By Sundhevy CThis was suppposed to be a nice family dinner but it turned out to be a dreadful experience. The dinner started very nicely with a very friendly waiter who was attentive and very helpful. After our main meals were served, the waiter disappeared and it took hours to order and receive our desserts and the check. We could have left without paying as the staff present just waived us goodbye! We ordered the piece of beef for 2 and that was a rip-off! There was no way we received 650g. If you really want to go there, just stick to the local specials and arrive at 6pm, hoping that there will still be a waiter when you’re done. Please note that parking is extremely difficult especially when valet parking is not indicated.
