Höhengasthaus Kolmenhof an der Donauquelle

We had a lovely time at Höhengasthaus Kolmenhof. The location is beautiful with lots of nice hiking paths around the property. There was as indoor and an outdoor playground for the kids which were great!!! The food at the restaurant was delicious and the staff was friendly and helpful. The room was spacious for a family of 2 adults plus 2 small children and nicely decorated. The only down side is that the restaurant closes for 2 nights a week so one must organize an alternative on these days (they were helpful with good suggestions nearby).

This is a top choice. Know what it is though, this is a rustic gasthous hotel in the middle of hiking and ski country. About 15 beautiful minutes drive to Triberg. Quiet, comforting and good food. We arrived late just after the restaurant closed, but they offered to make us a local cold meat and cheese tray that was awesome. Next night’s dinner also super. Yes we read other review about thin curtains... blah, blah, blah...stay in the Hilton next time. This is splendid country ambiance at its best and is very Germany. Bring your family and enjoy this great place.

This hotel was a bit of a disappointment and we were glad we had only booked one night. Booked the family room with two separate bedrooms, but had to go through the children’s bedroom at night to use the bathroom. Room had a weird musty smell on arrival and so we had to open the windows, which brought in all kinds of bugs unfortunately. Lots of flies in the restaurant and on the food. Breakfast very meager, we arrived before 9 while breakfast was until 10, but it was not replenished (when we asked we were simply told there was no more) and so we did not have any croissants or ham. We had expected more of this place! Reviews seemed good, but we would not recommend. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere!

Although it was a bit of a drive (especially as there were several diversions), it all felt worth it when we arrived. We sat on the sunny terrace while the kids played in the play park and enjoyed the wonderful views and food. Kids also had their own room with bunk beds in our family room and use of the playroom. A taste of the traditional Black Forest.
