Accommodation Review – Hotel Schuetzen, Rastatt

This hotel brings a new meaning to self-service, as you check-in via a Ring doorbell!! Great location, overlooking a river, very comfortable and spacious room, excellent breakfast. 8/10.

We needed a hotel near Baden-Baden, the start of the Black Forest route, but sadly all hotels in that town were full due to a conference. Finding a nearby hotel was a challenge, but having stumbled upon this one at €100 I thought I’d give it a go.

As it turned out, great choice! OK so the town it was in was on life support, with only 2 open restaurants we could find through Google and walking the town centre, and the town itself had more boarded up shops than open ones, but it was still a nice place and we had some excellent food in both the restaurant we picked and breakfast at the hotel. Actually a really good stopover!
