The location is super close to the train station and convention site, making it easy to explore the city or even hike into the Black Forest on foot. The place feels homey, warm, and cozy—truly one of the best stays I’ve ever had. I enjoyed my time here more than at some 5-star hotels. The breakfast? Superb.

Four stars plus. Hotel Barbara is a very good value for the price, but it’s definitely old school. There’s no elevator, which is OK for folks who are truly traveling light, but we had a couple of larger suitcases, and lagging them up two flights of stairs was a bit of an ordeal. The rooms use actual keys, and the doors don’t automatically lock. The comfort twin was still a bit small. The shower stall was an ingenious corner design with dual sliding doors, but it was a bit cramped and not what I would consider comfortable. If you don’t mind the steps, Room 34 has its own private balcony with a view of a courtyard development with apartments on the other side, so you can get a sense how the locals live. Except for some tasty egg treats, the breakfast was cold, although it did have a decent variety of breads, yogurt, bacon, oatmeal, etc.

My husband and I went on a backpacking trip across Europe. We found this hotel and we're completely impressed. We were so tired and this place was exactly what we needed. The service was impeccable. The breakfast and coffee were what we needed to continue our travels. And the beds are extremely comfortable. Highly recommend.

Confusion for both check in and check out. No hot meats for breakfast and the biggest concern was no elevator and carrying 2 weeks of luggage up 4 flights of stairs. Bathroom very small but clean room decorated ver nice and the balcony was the most outstanding feature of the room.

One of those rare hotel experiences where nothing goes wrong. The owners were so herzlich & lovely, the rooms impeccably clean & light & air-conditioned (our penthouse was especially charming, despite the walk up the stairs!), the garden cute, the breakfast perfect (pre-cut kiwis and peaches the kind of personal touch that you don't get everywhere). Devil's in the details, and Barbara gets them right.

I really enjoyed this little hotel and the area it was in. The staff were very kind and the room was clean and big enough. There was also AC which was important to me for my mom. …

Great single room. Comfortable bed, excellent bedding, and a fantastic breakfast. A one-minute walk from the train station. A fifteen minute walk to the Black Forest. The hotel is very quiet and not on a main street. I will staying here again soon.
