Hotel Rathausglöckel

We loved our stay at this 16th century guesthouse with 21st century amenities. The double room was large, furnished with antiques, and very clean. A kettle, instant coffee and tea were provided. The receptionist was a delight - very welcoming and gave us individualized attention at all times. The hotel is easy to find and there is a spot right in front to stop and unload luggage before parking at the discounted Vincenti Garage (receptionist will give you the special key card). There is no lift, but the staff assist with luggage. The location is ideal for exploring the city on foot, and very close to the thermal baths. After a long day of exploring we decided to relax and dine in the hotel restaurant, (something we never do.) Our dinner was a highlight of the stay! Very cozy German experience. My husband had rabbit cordon bleu, I had duck confit. Both amazing! While waiting in our room for the dining room to open for dinner service, I went into the dining room and asked if I could buy a bottle of wine to enjoy in the room and then bring to dinner. A young man graciously helped me choose the wine from a vast selection, then miutes later brought it to our room with glasses, and opened it with pleasure! The breakfast buffet was abundant and also offered cook to order hot food. The only restaurant in a 10 city tour that offered German pancakes (crepes) which I adore. All in all this was my favorite hotel (out of ten) on our road trip in Germany.

This hotel is great. Right in the heart of Baden-Baden, the two famous bath houses are just a few blocks away. We reserved a room for three and received a two bedroom space on the second floor, each room with its own bath. The decor of this place is antique style, and the furnishings in our room and in the breakfast area were all in beautiful condition. The staff was all super friendly and helpful, from check-in to planning nearby hikes (there is a great one into the Black Forest Hills that begins just a few blocks from the front door), and providing info about the town. There was a very good buffet breakfast. It was quite warm while we were there, and there was no AC in our room. You could open windows, but it was hard to get air to circulate, even with the floor fans in the rooms. We were comfortable enough though. There is no parking at the hotel, and the city frowns on unloading vehicles in front of the hotel. There is garage parking about a five minute walk away, about $22 a day, and we had no trouble finding space in it. The old town center is just a few flights of stairs down, and there are plenty of restaurants for all different budgets. We thought Amadeus was delicious. Also, don't miss a stroll along the river front. One of the most beautiful we've been to in Europe. Overall we just loved the character this place has, and the genuine staff members who are glad to help you plan your time in Baden Baden.

A wonderful traditional hotel in the centre of Baden-Baden. We asked for a ground floor room because we had a lot of luggage that we didn't want to leave in the car, and they were happy to oblige. Our room was large and well furnished, with a comfortable bed and a good en-suite bathroom. The staff were very friendly and obliging. We also ate an evening meal in the restaurant, which was excellent. The waiters were efficient and helpful. Two points to bear in mind (the hotel's website makes this clear). There is no lift, hence our request for a ground floor room. There is no car park, but there is a subsidised multi-storey car park a five minute walk away. There is space to pull up outside the hotel to unload. We were very pleased with our choice of hotel, and would happily return.
