The hotel and restaurant are amazing. The food is top quality and fresh. The staff are very friendly and helpful.The rooms are comfortable and of a good size. The bed is a bit hard but I like a hard bed.Check-in and check-out well quick and easy.The location is very good. Only a short drive from all the attractions.Spend two nights or more and get a card that gives you free access to many of the biggest local attractions.

We had a lovely few days at this charming family run hotel. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated and the restaurant cozy and welcoming. The surrounding countryside is great for walkers and if you need the city it's less than an hour to Zurich.

Very good and clean hotel. comfortable beds! Exceptional breakfast. there was no AC in the room, but when we open the windows the fresh air did the job. On the same hand, our friends did not open the windows because they were afraid of the Mosquitoes bites and it was very hot for them

If you find yourself in Germany's Black Forest region, you must visit the wonderful restaurant attached to this hotel. We didn't stay at the hotel but we had a splendid meal at the restaurant on Saturday night. …

Hotel Posthorn is a family owned, simple hotel with 20 rooms. The prices are that reasonable that my expectations were not too high fetched. ||Room #22 on the second floor has two single beds, but was given to me for single use.  …
