Hotels Near Windharfe in Waldachtal

Very nice guesthouse, located remotely on top of a small hill in a quiet area just outside the center of Freudenstadt. We stayed in the apartment Morgenröte which was recently refurnished (well done!) and which was very spacious. There are two bed rooms and a big (and very pleasant) bathroom. Also no complains on the kitchen, the living area and the cozy eating table. Via the sliding doors you have direct access to a small (private) terrace and the (common) garden. The restaurant is also very cozy and typical German. Although we didn’t eat diner there, we had a few time breakfast (small buffet but with good variation). There is also a small bowling inside the building but we didn’t try it out. The owners were very friendly, welcoming and helpful.

Loved this hotel but there were a couple things that would have made our stay perfect. ● First, the room: spacious. The view is amazing. We got a deluxe room with a balcony that overlooked the forest and gardens. We spent a lot of time enjoying the balcony and this lovely view. What would have made it even better was a sunshade—it was quite bright in the blazing afternoon—we had the corner room so there was nothing to block the sun. Wonderful bathroom—toilet and tub/shower were separate. Beds were comfortable but I wish that the two halves of the bed had been connected together with at least a mattress topper. I wound up falling in the crevasse between the two beds by the third morning. We were surprised that there was no coffee maker—since we wake up much earlier than the breakfast, a coffee maker would have really made our stay more enjoyable. ● The restaurant food was amazing. The breakfast was an excellent spread and included a person ready to cook an omelet to order. Only a few of the staff spoke English, thankfully two of them were the bartenders! We ate at the bar’s outdoor seating for dinner a couple nights which was a much more relaxed atmosphere than the dinner restaurant. Not as wide of a menu variety at the bar but enough to give us options for two nights. We needed replacement towels for the pool and sauna but was not able to get any for our 2nd and 3rd day—we didn’t want to continue to use our sauna towels after having sweated on them. A hotel that specializes in its pool and sauna facilities should have plenty of towels for the overnight guests. ● The grounds are so beautifully maintained, a lovely mix of nature and man-made gardens. There are hiking and biking paths into the forest right from the hotel. The pools and saunas are excellent with jets in some spots and not others. And well maintained. My only complaint with the pools is that babies and small children were using the hot tub. This should be adults only for hygiene. ● Altogether a wonderful experience and we highly recommend it for travelers looking to relax in beautiful surroundings.

My wife and I spent a wonderful spa weekend at Mokni's Palais Hotel & Spa. We stayed at the Bad Hotel, which was much better than ”bad.” The hotel is a sister hotel to the Rossini across the street, The Bad Hotel has larger rooms. It also has direct access to the Palais Thermal. The Rossini is where we enjoyed an exceptional breakfast complete with champagne. The Mokni family has done a tremendous job offering a complete paradise escape. Although the spa is a textile free facility, one does not have to get too uptight as the saunas allow you to cover up your body parts. On the other hand, if you cannot handle someone else being naked, then you will likely have issues. The spa features warm baths, hot baths, and cold baths, as well as numerous saunas of varying degrees of heat. All in all, this place is worth the experience. My wife and I will be back!
