Hotel & Gasthaus Löwen

Familiar hotel with kind people helping you with all your needs. The room was new and clean, the food at restaurant was really good. We stayed just one night so we could not use all the services offered, like the Sauna or the Gym. Better stay in the area!

Excellent, professional, family-run hotel. Helpful and friendly staff. Excellent breakfast, generous and clean rooms, particularly in the new-build. There is also a full service restaurant, serving hearty Baden cuisine, which is clearly frequented by locals as well as by hotel guests. Pleasant village setting nestled amongst vineyards and framed by the hills of the Black Forest.

The room was nice, large and clean. Staff was nice, polite, professional and willing to solve any problem (although sometimes struggling with communication in English). Parking is free (we could park our pretty long van in front of the hotel and were offered a garage to park our motorbikes). The restaurant seems to have a good reputation as it was always totally full in the evenings so booking a table is recommended. The meals were very good and tasty (a bit pricey, though) but the portions were very large (more than we needed). Breakfast offered a selection of pastry, dairy products - butter, cheese, yoghurt, etc., ham, salamy, smoked salmon, scrambled / hard boiled eggs, hot sausage, drinks like tea, various types of juice and coffee from an espresso machine (really nice). You may need to get used to the church bell (40 metres away - so it is quite loud) chiming every 15 minutes, but some people may find it romantic. We went for walks every evening and within 5 minutes in any direction you will find yourselves between the fields, orchards or vineyards. There are plenty of bike paths around and a train station 3 minutes away if you want to visit Freiburg, which we recommend. If you get the guest card at the reception then you travel for free, the journey takes only about 15 minutes, the trains leave every 30 minutes and Freiburg is worth visiting). Schwarzwald mountain range is literally round the corner if you are into cycling, hiking or riding a motorbike. We just did't go to the sauna because the weather was really hot. All in all, we were very happy with the Lowen Hotel and can recommend it to other travellers.
