Gengenbach itself is a very small little town but quite cute. The food is predominantly Italian - still don't know why. In town itself I don't think you need more than a day, but you are close to Strassburg and several other small towns, hikes and wineries nearby.

We chose Gengenbach as a base as it was easy to get train to other places and go for local walks. It is a pleasant village which is quite picturesque. It is not touristy. There are quite a few restaurants. Menus only in German so make sure you have a phrase book!

This is a small friendly town with lots of dining options, a museum, a night-time tour of the town with a historical talk by the Nachtwaechter, beautiful church. In December the Rathaus is turned into the "world's largest Advent calendar."

A real Schwarzwald Town with all the 'old' buildings. Loved it.
Restaurants open at 6pm for evening meal.
Traditional German food, but also Italian. Not sure about other food types. Backery and Ice Cream open all day.
Relaxed feeling while being there.

1) Gengenbach is a picturesque and quaint town in the Black Forest region. It has good transport connections to other towns in Black Forest and makes a good base for visiting Black Forest.
2) Unfortunately when we were there in end-Sep 2022, there were numerous train delays between Gengenbach and Munich and on many routes throughout Germany. On our 2nd day there, a strike in France went on for 36 hours and caused reduced train service and worse train delays. Train schedules were so fluid that they changed from as frequently as every 30 mins. All this added an additional 5 hours to our total travelling time between towns in Black Forest, which originally would have taken only about 2 hours both ways. It was very trying and almost ruined our experience in Black Forest.
3) Gengenbach is mostly German-speaking and the shops, restaurants and hotels had few English-speaking staff. We were the few Asian people there and at most of these places, we received many long stares and people were always very surprised to hear us speak fluent English.
4) At Frei (Steinkellerhaus) restaurant, we walked in to ask for a table for 4. The restaurant was only half empty. A male waiter rudely told us that he had a table but their menus were only in German and they had no English menu. When we politely asked it if it was possible for him to let us know the menu items in English, he became even more rude and angrily told us that we had to translate the menu into English ourselves using the Internet and looked ready to kick us out of the restaurant. We found this terribly offensive and left immediately.
5) It is truly unfortunate that such a picturesque area which has inspired world famous fairytales, is the home of Black Forest cake and ham and whose main industry is tourism, has limited itself by language. If only it catered better to English-speaking tourists …
Beautiful place to stay. Rooms are cozy.
Staff; different experiences , some were super nice , some bit confusing , trying to sell the wine and getting agitated at not buying it (maybe).
special mentions to the Philippines Lady at breakfast time who take care of us. Hotel should employ more kind people like her
Would recommend the place if you plan to stay at Gengenbach . It is certainly a place to relax n unwind.
The apartment was very clean and well equipped. The bedrooms and living room are large and comfortable. The location is very quiet and peaceful. It is in a rural location and approx 30 minute walk into Gengenbach town centre but you can get the free Konus card and can take the bus. There is a nice walk through the forest directly from the apartment so if you don't mind walking, it is a very nice walk.
The location could not be any better - just steps from the quaint and charming center of Gengenbach. The apartment is very spacious, exceptionally clean with everything that you will need. When I had a problem starting the washing machine, the owner was over in minutes to show me what to do. Such a comfortable place to come home to after long days of exploring.
We had a lovely stay at this hotel. Something thing's to keep in if you would like towels more often. We were told they only change towels every five days and there was a fee of 3 euros fee if you wanted towels daily. After reviewing policies and extra fee's. I did not see the extra towel fee. I would highly suggest adding that to acrew fee's area.
The staff is very nice and friendly, the receptionist welcomed us and gave us a tour of the property - we really appreciated that.
Very clean and quiet room with comfortable beds.
The breakfast was exceptional, and the dining room was organized with a waitress.
Parking lot available on the spot.

Perfect stay, beautiful room, incredibly peaceful location. The hotel itself is beautiful with a lovely calm feeling. The breakfast was delicious, and the staff were all very welcoming and kind. They spoke good English too, and seemed to appreciate us using our limited German.
The Location was awesome! It is as close to downtown Gengenbach as you can possibly get. This makes walks in the city a breeze, especially in the early morning. The apartment was very clean and had nearly everything you'd need.
The room was very clean, everything was exactly how it should be in a hotel.
The service was perfect and very kind personal.
The communication with the hotel and additional information concerning the check in was perfect
We had an excellent stay, the apartment was spotlessly clean and quiet! Great location in the centre of Gengenbach within easy reach of the town centre and rail station. We would recommend this stay to anyone!
The restaurant downstairs was phenomenal and served one of the best meals of my trip, breakfast was also impressive. Staff were lovely and helpful. I’d certainly make it a stop on my next trip back to Germany!
Good hotel in general, if you actually want to stay in Gengenbach. Comfortable beds, big enough rooms, clean, decent food. It is quite reachable from the train station (10 min walk). Friendly enough staff.
We have stopped here by the way to Alsace for one night. Our stay was normal for active travelers: a big room, a good location, public parking next to the hotel ( not expensive ).Breakfast was super!
Great location ,quiet street next to the town center. A lot of free parking spaces in front of the hotel. The room has nice smell, cozy and good bed. Breakfast was nice but limited table.
The breakfast is great with great varieties. The room is spacious and modern with balcony. The location of the hotel is quiet with parking. The staff is helpful and friendly.
