Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Schwarzwälder Hof

Located in a former mint in the Old Town's pedestrian zone, this family-run hotel has contemporary-style rooms with dark-wood floors and cool white walls and bed linens, and there's a two-room family suite in the attic with a balcony overlooking the Münster and Old Town. Despite its thin walls, it's a charming choice close to both a parking garage and public transportation. The Badische Winzerstube provides all you could want in local atmosphere, wine, and food.
