I did read mixed reviews on this property - however, if you are properly aware before you book, you will enjoy it. The gasthaus is separate from the pretty building with the restaurant in it. (About 200 yards downhill). You can park at no charge up behind the restaurant but then it is a hike to where your room is. We found it easier to pay for parking overnight in the public lot immediately across from the gasthaus. Very short walk.
We ate dinner in the restaurant in the larger room at the rear with the charming beamed ceiling. Since we had vegetarian pizza, I can’t comment on the Bavarian dishes cooked here. Our waiter was attentive, friendly and fun to talk to.
If you are expecting an American style breakfast, you will be disappointed. We had a selection of cold cuts and cheeses, some hot seeded rolls, orange juice, coffee and fruit. If this is not good for you, I would suggest not buying the breakfast and perhaps trying the bakery down the hill. Our waitress at breakfast spoke no English but was again very friendly and we managed to make ourselves understood. So the negative comments I read elsewhere about the staff were unfounded at least during our stay. The room was nice, had a great shower and we used the radiant floor heat (twist the dials in the bathroom and the bedroom). Our visit was in September when it was cool - summer may be a different experience. The hotel will give you a ticket that lets you in to the waterfalls, the Black Forest museum and Fantasy.
