Hotel Schweizer Hof - Baden-Baden, Germany 

Had a couple of nights here in September and found it charming. Good comfy bed and spacious room (tho nothing like as fancy as the hotel's thumbnails on this site). Welcoming receptionist and free internet access and printer. Good enough breakfast, everything spotlessly clean. Best thing is its nearness to the opera house (reason for being there) ~ so close that we could nip home for a comfort stop between acts (well, it was Wagner...) I will definitely return.

I enjoyed my one night stay. There was a train strike on, and we were concerned about transportation. The staff was very helpful about checking the schedules (as it turns out, trains from Germany to Strasbourg, France were running on the hour, so we need not have worried). There is a nook on the ground floor with a computer and printer for the use of hotel guests, free of charge. The room was basic but clean and pleasant. A Plus (grocery store) is just across the street. For me, as an American tourist coming from France, the breakfast seemed excellent-- meats, cheeses, soft boiled eggs, cereals, yogurt, fruit, breads, etc. One thing I loved about Baden Baden was that brochures and instructions were typically published in German, French and English, as was the information about the hotel found in the room. The staff is reasonably proficient in English. This hotel is located immediately adjacent to the Festpielhaus. There could not be a more convenient hotel if your object in coming to Baden Baden is to attend a performance there.
