We attempted to eat here twice before managing to get a table.  Kept showing up too late in the day, too early or on their ruhetag.  Definitely worth the wait though.  Food was great and the staff were kind and patient while we practiced our German.  We really enjoyed the goulash, schnitzel paniert and the rahmsoße.  The upstairs portion of the restaurant is smoke free.  Would go again :)

Worth the wait

Overall nice and clean. Good restaurants but the downstairs pub is smoke filled = yucky.  Food is very good with giant proportions.   Problems = no lift, many stairs, no soap or shampoo provided. In center city, near walking area, near shops and coffee bars.  Overall = ok.  Add some soap, shampoo would be a 4.  Early check out too.  

Basic and comfortable 

I visited the building because we were lost and they gave us shelter from the tsunami. However we were soaked, saturated, drenched, waterlogged, wet, submerged, and flooded. We asked the manager where we could find dry clothing as everything in our suitcase was wet and the only place she told us was the hotel store which sold clothes at the minimum price of 35000 euros. We purchased them as we were confused by the Euro to Canadian dollar to American dollar to yen ratio. It was a very unfortunate experience and we hope no one else has this experience 

Average Visit

This hotel is situated in a beautiful location with beautiful surroundings. The area of Lahr where the hotel is itself is very quiet but the hotel is only a few minutes walk from shops and pubs. 

I stayed in the hotel with a large group for 4 nights and the rooms are very well equipped. The room and the hotel as a whole was very clean. The hotel have European style beds which mean that you sleep on a double bed frame with 2 single mattresses- that is not a problem for me. I found that bed very very comfortable however the room could become stuffy at night. There is also a television in the room however we found that the signal wasn't brilliant and the picture cracked up a lot (but we weren't really there to watch tv anyway). The rooms are quite out-dated however it fits in with the style of a very classic hotel.

The en-suite bathroom was good, the shower was easy to work and adjust to the temperature and the hotel provided fresh towels daily. The door handle on the bathroom door however came off into my hand on several occasions, but it was no urgent danger.

The food in the hotel was ok, it began to become very repetitive, the starter was always a soup (which tasted quite nice) but it was always the same creamy colour with a slightly different taste. The hotel then provided salad and the dinner was generally some kind of chicken or pork with chips, rice or pasta- no vegetables (but then again, there was the salad). There was also always a desert of ice cream or fruit yogurt etc... The breakfast was a buffet of rolls, cold meats, cheese, yogurt and cereal and one morning there were boiled eggs. Lunch was also provided by the hotel to take away, rolls, meat, apples..... The food was good for the standard of the hotel and was all well cooked.

The hotel is close to many attractions and also close to the German border to France, it is a great place to stay for a holiday for travelling around the area. It is an extremely quaint hotel and is definitely a satisfying experience.

A Satisfying Experience

The best thing I can say about this place is that it is in a good location for easy access to the old city centre. It has a sort of whimsical flair, which is not altogether unattractive on first appearance. However, the rooms are dated and in urgent need of some refurbishment. Our room was stuffy upon entering and pretty small, though clean, and the bathroom had a bathtub rather than a shower unit. There was a soap dispenser next to the sink, but no shampoo or soap by the bath tub. The worst thing, however, was the bed, covers and sheets, which all added up to make it a pretty uncomfortable night. The blankets didn't fit into the covers properly, seemed too small to adequately provide warmth and the sheet was scratchy. Everybody has a different taste when it comes to mattresses, but I just couldn't get comfortable. I opened the window to let some fresh air into the stuffy room, which helped a bit. (In the corridor outside there was a smoker's table for restaurant guests, I suspect the stale smoke drifts into the rooms.) However, at 6am the church starts ringing loudly, right next door, and continues to shake you out of your dreams every 15min. At 6am another church chimes in. Closing the window reduced the noise, but it soon got stuffy again. Rooms have flatscreen TV, phone and hairdryer. Not sure about WIFI - I didn't bother trying. Breakfast was mediocre and the coffee was absolutely awful. However, the staff was friendly. We didn't eat at the restaurant. We were only provided with one key, which may be fine for most people, but can be inconvenient.

stayed at better hostels

Thank you to Frau Wacker for assisting us when our daughter got sick with a flu and needed breakfast up in our room. Frau Wacker made sure we had camomille tea and toast to bring to her. Also thank you for helping us figure out how to do our laundry after being on the road with a week's worth of dirty laundry. The church bells ring until 10pm and start at 6am but with the windows closed it isnt as loud. Great central location right beside Marktstrasse. Nice to sit and have a beer in the evening in the front of the hotel. Also nice to have a parkade attached to the building and to get the free parking pass.
