Location: Triberg is right in the heart of the Black Forest and is the home of “Germany’s highest waterfall”. The Parkhotel Wehrle is only a few minutes’ walk from this is and is handily situated for Triberg’s other attractions.
Accommodation and facilities: I’ve done a lot of solo travelling over the years, but this was the first time in ages that my single room has meant exactly that, rather than being a double room serving that purpose! This meant the room was a bit on the small side, but it was comfortable enough and the bathroom was fine.
The rest of the hotel is an odd mix of traditional and modern. The wellness area is pleasant, with a reasonable “Vitabar”. The small garden nearby is attractive and well cared for.
Service and Food: Unfortunately, on my visit, this was rather mixed. On the positive side, the reception staff were fine and the welcome in the breakfast room was warm. The breakfast buffet was excellent.
I wish I could say the same for the restaurant, however, When I checked in, I made a reservation for that evening in the restaurant. The reservation was not honoured as the head waiter said my name was only on the waiting list and he could not say how long I would have to wait. It turned out he was wrong, but by the time his mistake was discovered, I had left to get dinner elsewhere.
The receptionist who had made the reservation was very apologetic the next day, but the head waiter, who saw me later, didn’t seem to think it worth mentioning. That is just not good enough and, needless to say, I didn’t bother trying again.
On the whole, though, my stay at this hotel was a positive experience. I’d recommend it, but with provisos.
