디 라이슈타트 - 호텔 운트 레스토랑

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.

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.
