Amazing and friendly staff, who went out of their way to make my daughter and myself comfortable and our stay a truly memorable one. The hotel is beautifully presented with comfortable and spacious rooms. The continental breakfast was delicious offering lots of choice including eggs. The coffee machine offered every choice for the discerning coffee drinker which was a real treat. Thank you so much. Judy and Rebecca

Nothing

Nice to be back after 10 years to re-visit here ^_^. The hotel Pfeffermuehle is located close to Gengenbach train station, by walking distance of ca. 10 min.. From the warm welcome at reception to the spotless room, and delicious Germany style breakfast, every moment staying here will be turning into the memory that we will cherish. Now, back to home with full of energy! - from Room 6, July-12-2025.

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.

We liked everything about this hotel!

We had a lovely stay in this fabulous town. We stayed 2 nights in the junior suite, which was a nice large room if a little dated. The bed was comfortable and the shower was good. The breakfast was very good with plenty of choice. We were served fresh eggs of our choice and a big pot of tea or coffee. The staff were very friendly and we had excellent service.

The only thing we didn’t like was there was no tea or coffee making facilities, but there was a fridge with drinks in.

Friendly staff. Comfortable room with balcony. Relaxed atmosphere. We were allowed to check on early at no extra charge. Pretty town.

No air conditioning. Had to leave balcony door open and run fan all night. Little of interest in Gengenbach for a 14-year-old. Many of the restaurants and all of the museums were closed on Monday.

The location was perfect for our short visit. It was an easy walk to the historic city center. We were able to park our car in front of the hotel for free. The breakfast was excellent and included a lot of choices.

It was very hot during our visit. I knew the rooms weren't air conditioned so that wasn't a surprise. The room finally cooled down after dinner when we opened the windows. A fan or two in the room would have been greatly appreciated.

It was close to the center, spacious room, breakfast was fine

There was someone early morning (around 5 am in the morning) making call with the speaker on and it was all the time ringing and ringing and it kept us awake. Not sure if it was a customer from the hotel but that was pretty annoying.

Spotless, comfortable room, plenty of wardrobe space, wonderful German style breakfast (amazing boiled eggs) lovely staff. Everything about the room and breakfast and the whole building says “quality”. Location is nice and quiet too. In particular the lady in the breakfast room and the lady cleaning our room were so friendly and cheerful.

It’s a bit of a trek from the station

There was a nice selection of things for breakfast, and an egg cooked to order was offered. There is a lovely common area on the 2nd level of the building, nice place to just sit and relax. The staff were very helpful in providing directions for the use of the elevator - a little quirky, but explained very clearly

In room 5 (and maybe in others) there is a metal strip at the threshold of the bathroom that sticks up above the level of the floors in the bedroom and the bathroom. It is a painful to step on, so one has to be careful not to step on it when entering or exiting the bathroom.

A beautiful property, it’s got spacious and clean rooms. The staff too is extremely hospitable and kind. It doesn’t have an elevator but the staff is willing to help carry your bags up if you need them to. The breakfast has decent enough options for vegetarians so that was a plus! The hotel is just a 3-5 minute walk from the main old town square, local shops and restaurants so the location is perfect.

I wish they had an electric tea kettle in the room so we could have some tea/coffee at all times especially when it’s cold outside! While the location is great from the town square it’s a bit far from the Gengenbach train station. A 10-15 minute walk from the station isn’t very convenient if you have heavy luggage or mobility issues, but if that can be managed somehow then great.
