Hotel Hirschen Glottertal

“Best hotel in Europe”

We stayed in room 173, in a separate building outside of the main hotel in a very comfortable big room with a two basin bathroom, a double bed, two single beds, a sitting area with two chairs and a coffee table, a fridge, safe, flat screen TV and a balcony looking out to the beautiful mountains. It was really so comfortable and very clean. We enjoyed the heated swimming pool on the third floor of the main hotel with the most glorious views over the Glottertal mountains and vineyards. The swimming pool and the area around it was extremely clean. There was even a water jug filled with mineral water and pieces of oranges for us to quench our thirst! The breakfast was really tasty and nothing was too much trouble for the waiters and/or the chef. The chef even fried me an egg when I asked. Every night we had a four course meal, which again was out of this world. As part of our evening meal, we had a wine tasting from their excellent house wine collection, while on another night we received sparkling wine! WOW, is the only way I can describe our culinary experience. It came as no surprise when we realised that the restaurant had a one star Michelin rating! The staff in the restaurant, in the hotel and the owners were so kind, efficient, friendly and absolutely amazing. Nothing was too much for any of them. Oh yes, and we had complementary Wi-Fi connection as well, free of charge. We also received cake and coffee every afternoon. When we checked out, we received a complementary bottle of our own choice of their self produced wine! This was such a nice finish of a wonderful holiday in the Blackforest! I must add that Glottertal is close to all tourist attractions in the Blackforest. Even Europa - Park, the theme park and resort is only an half hour away. Overall, thanks to all of you in the HOTEL who made this holiday such a special one. We already made the next booking for next year!

Family run and operated very friendly and professional. The reception was always helpful with answers to our questions. The breakfast offers a large assortment of choices. We had half board with dinner included. Dinners were fabulous and our special dietary needs were met. Rooms are spacious and clean. A very comfortable place to call home while on the road. This was my second stay here. I would return again.

“Worthy a detour in the Black Forrest”

This is just one of the hotels where I keep coming back when I’m the the neighborhood. A family hotel run by the 5 th generation. Nice & clean room rooms. Good service that always makes you feel welcome. Sleep with the window open and the sound from stream running outside will help you fall asleep.… more

Weekdays the church bell cross the street announce its a new day @ 6 am. Good food and a nice pool area on the top floor.

Positives Breakfast was superb. Great setting in attractive Black Forest villlage Nice little indoor swimming pool suitably warm with great views over the village and into the forest. Very easy to find next to main road Huge car park Next to the park Negatives Our standard double room was in the old building up a very narrow staircase with no lift, a potential problem for the elderly or infirm. The room was fine except the highest windows had no curtains or blinds so he light came in early in the morning. Although that is air conditioning in some rooms in the main block, our room had none and we had to shut th windows to keep out the noise of the traffic on the main road. Worse than this was that the room was immediately opposite the local church with very enthusiastic and regular bell ringing from 6am onwards which as we were still accustomed to British time meant 5am. No chance to get back to sleep as the bell ringing continued for at least a couple of hours. Overall All in all, a balance of strengths and weaknesses which would be improved by staying in a different room type. However at 140 euros a night bed and breakfast, we would have to say that even with the school excellent breakfast, the standard double is not good value for money.
