Southern Black Forest, Baden-Württemberg hotel rooms at the Independent

"We were really disappointed with our stay. The place was not clean at all — we found hair everywhere, which was very off-putting. The bathroom was dirty and had black bits on the floor, making it feel unhygienic. The freezer was also very dirty, with bits of hair inside it — absolutely unacceptable. On top of that, we specifically booked an accommodation with a terrace, but were given a room with no terrace at all. This was misleading and not what we paid for. To make matters worse, we were charged 50 euros for cleaning, which is completely unreasonable considering the state the property was in when we checked in. The only positive aspects of our stay were the spa and the view, which were both very nice. Unfortunately, those few good points didn’t make up for the overall lack of cleanliness and misleading listing. Would not recommend to anyone and specially to ones travelling with kids."

"Great location, near to the Rhine river and a park (that our kids loved). Also near to the border of the three countries. Massive room with comfy beds! Extremely friendly staff. Lovely breakfast. Highly recommend."

"As always, an excellent stay. We return every time are taking a pit stop on the way to and from Pescara and we have never been less than 100% happy. "

"Nice staff and good location"

"Very basic reception and service. Simple old fashioned room. Very clean. Tepid water and weak heating."

"Family-like hotel in the beautiful Schwarzwald region "

"Excellent "

"We have excellent service at this hotel! We were late arriving for lunch and even though they were not serving any longer, they took care of us! The chef himself came out to talk to us and prepared us an amazing lunch! We would stay here again! "

"Lovely hotel with great facilities for a relaxing break "
