We stayed at Stadthotel for two nights on our recent visit to Gengenbach and we are so happy we chose this hotel! The room was very comfortable and the reception staff could not have been nicer. The breakfast offered many choices, and the staff remembered our preference on our second morning. The location is just outside the old town wall and very convenient. We would recommend this hotel for anyone visiting this charming town in the Black Forest of Germany.
This hotel enjoys a quiet location on the outskirts of the Black Forest town of Gengenbach. It offers modern rooms, free Wi-Fi, free private parking, a restaurant and the hotel's own winery.

This is so close to the advent calendar and several restaurants, perfect location! It was a very big room with bed, couch, and dining room and full kitchen. Very clean. I wish we had stayed longer than two nights.

Gengenbach itself is a very small little town but quite cute. The food is predominantly Italian - still don't know why. In town itself I don't think you need more than a day, but you are close to Strassburg and several other small towns, hikes and wineries nearby.

We chose Gengenbach as a base as it was easy to get train to other places and go for local walks. It is a pleasant village which is quite picturesque. It is not touristy. There are quite a few restaurants. Menus only in German so make sure you have a phrase book!

This is a small friendly town with lots of dining options, a museum, a night-time tour of the town with a historical talk by the Nachtwaechter, beautiful church. In December the Rathaus is turned into the "world's largest Advent calendar."

A real Schwarzwald Town with all the 'old' buildings. Loved it.
Restaurants open at 6pm for evening meal.
Traditional German food, but also Italian. Not sure about other food types. Backery and Ice Cream open all day.
Relaxed feeling while being there.

1) Gengenbach is a picturesque and quaint town in the Black Forest region. It has good transport connections to other towns in Black Forest and makes a good base for visiting Black Forest.
2) Unfortunately when we were there in end-Sep 2022, there were numerous train delays between Gengenbach and Munich and on many routes throughout Germany. On our 2nd day there, a strike in France went on for 36 hours and caused reduced train service and worse train delays. Train schedules were so fluid that they changed from as frequently as every 30 mins. All this added an additional 5 hours to our total travelling time between towns in Black Forest, which originally would have taken only about 2 hours both ways. It was very trying and almost ruined our experience in Black Forest.
3) Gengenbach is mostly German-speaking and the shops, restaurants and hotels had few English-speaking staff. We were the few Asian people there and at most of these places, we received many long stares and people were always very surprised to hear us speak fluent English.
4) At Frei (Steinkellerhaus) restaurant, we walked in to ask for a table for 4. The restaurant was only half empty. A male waiter rudely told us that he had a table but their menus were only in German and they had no English menu. When we politely asked it if it was possible for him to let us know the menu items in English, he became even more rude and angrily told us that we had to translate the menu into English ourselves using the Internet and looked ready to kick us out of the restaurant. We found this terribly offensive and left immediately.
5) It is truly unfortunate that such a picturesque area which has inspired world famous fairytales, is the home of Black Forest cake and ham and whose main industry is tourism, has limited itself by language. If only it catered better to English-speaking tourists …
This accomodation was amazing and even BETTER than coming home!!! The contact with the Gastgeber Susanne & Jean-Marie Trapp was very nice. They are very open and answer every question/doubt you have. The appartment was just beautiful and very clean. It has got every detail and there is an amazing atmosphere. We had a very romantic time in this appartement and the beautiful town Gengenbach. We definitely recommend it to everyone. Thank you so much for accepting us as your guests. Big hug Alexis and Nathalie
The hotel is very close to the black forest and Gengenbach city center, so we could just walk everywhere. There was a supermarket beside the hotel that offered lots of vegan products, so we were very happy to be able to make our own sandwiches and get healthy snacks for our trip. The breakfast was absolutely wonderful, lots of variety, especially of bread and cheese. The rooms were very comfortable and spacious as well, so it was a great experience in general.
We were upgraded to a deluxe room by the very friendly and helpful concierge. The hotel was quite nice, spaces a bit larger and nicer than other hotels we stayed in in Germany. Nice little swimming pool and hot tub out back, with comfy robes provided by the hotel. Hotel is connected to a nice restaurant on the main street, where we enjoyed a really good lunch. The town of Gengenbach was quite lovely.
The location could not be any better - just steps from the quaint and charming center of Gengenbach. The apartment is very spacious, exceptionally clean with everything that you will need. When I had a problem starting the washing machine, the owner was over in minutes to show me what to do. Such a comfortable place to come home to after long days of exploring.
The staff is very nice and friendly, the receptionist welcomed us and gave us a tour of the property - we really appreciated that.
Very clean and quiet room with comfortable beds.
The breakfast was exceptional, and the dining room was organized with a waitress.
Parking lot available on the spot.
Great location, in the heart of Gengenbach.
Lovely hotel - very clean and comfortable. Good powerful shower. Worth paying the extra for a balcony. Nice breakfast with lots of choice - eggs to order. On the outskirts of town - approx an easy 20 min walk to restaurants. Wouldn't hesitate to return if in the area. Plenty of free parking.
The apartment is newly renovated to an extremely high standard. Very spacious and comfortable. The location is perfect - a two minute walk to the old town. Katrin and Jochen were welcoming hosts and provided all the information we needed for a fantastic few days in Gengenbach.
Fantastic hosts, communicated clearly and swiftly on anything and everything. The property is located perfectly for easy access to Gengenbach centre, the pool, easy access to the forest, to Strasbourg in 45 mins, Colmar in an hour and a Europa-Park in 35 mins.
The Location was awesome! It is as close to downtown Gengenbach as you can possibly get. This makes walks in the city a breeze, especially in the early morning. The apartment was very clean and had nearly everything you'd need.
The restaurant downstairs was phenomenal and served one of the best meals of my trip, breakfast was also impressive. Staff were lovely and helpful. I’d certainly make it a stop on my next trip back to Germany!
center location, room is clean , bed is big and comfortable, staff are very helpful, parking in front of hotel, 18:00-8:00 is free . breakfast is nice . worth money .
