“Family Holiday ”

We (2 adults, 2 teenagers and a 10 year old) spent 7 nights in Hotel Traube Tonbach. We adored it fron the minute we walked into our room and took in the views! It is set in the most picturesque area, you can hear a river flowing while sitting on the balcony and it is so peaceful. The staff are clearly very highly trained; servive is attentive without being overbearing. We felt very well minded at the end of our 7 nights. The kids loved the outdoor pool area, sun loungers are very comfortable and again...the setting!! Breakfast was very good, lots of variety and lovely staff. This was our first trip to the Black Forest, and we shall return to Hotel Traube Tonbach!

“Excellent location for a special stay”

We stayed for 3 nights over our (British) summer half term week to celebrate our 10yr wedding anniversary.

We stayed for 3 nights over our (British) summer half term week to celebrate our 10yr wedding anniversary. I had mentioned it in an email many months before when I first started the booking process, I had no idea what would happen - they clearly made a note of the date and on the actual morning, at breakfast, we had flowers and a beautiful hand-written note to say congratulations. It was the most special touch! Or children loved all that was there for the kids and we had an amazing anniversary dinner while they were at the kids club that evening! We had such a lovely time and I can't wait to book again. This kind of generosity and hospitality you can't mark with stars.

“More Tranquil Perfection”

Could resist another visit, a few previous ones too. Unbelievable consistency weather summer or winter. We were recognised and greeted by staff we met before. Attentive yet laid back service and staff, as always. We chose the Schatzhauser for dinner, naturally very good indeed. We like the variety … more

Could resist another visit, a few previous ones too. Unbelievable consistency weather summer or winter. We were recognised and greeted by staff we met before. Attentive yet laid back service and staff, as always. We chose the Schatzhauser for dinner, naturally very good indeed. We like the variety there, my wife had a version of coc au vin, cooked to perfection, whilst I had the sour and spicy papaya salad with loin of beef, fantastic. We were also treated by the owner again, such a nice touch. We have booked again for next summer already!

“Schwarzwaldstube is amazing - Hotel is not living up to expectation”

Our stay at Traube Tonbach was a mix of extraordinary highlights and unexpected disappointments. The Schwarzwaldstube was truly exceptional. The kitchen delivered an outstanding performance with remarkable precision and creativity, making every course memorable. The sommelier was equally impressive — knowledgeable, intuitive, and easily among the best we’ve encountered. This part of the experience is world‑class and absolutely lives up to its reputation. Unfortunately, the rest of the hotel did not reach the same standard. The rooms, spa, the regular restaurant, and the breakfast offering felt more in line with a 4‑star property, far from the luxury level one would expect at this price point. The staff often came across as disengaged, which further diminished the overall experience. The breakfast was particularly underwhelming: a small buffet, with some items already gone if you arrived later in the morning. The breakfast room itself had the atmosphere of a hostel rather than a luxury hotel. The spa situation was also inconvenient. To use the pool and fitness facilities, you had to cross the street to another building — not ideal, especially in winter.
