Hotel Restaurant Kniebishöhe in Freudenstadt

Location of Kniebis: About 10km west of Freudenstadt the nearest rail station. Buses to Kniebis from Freudenstadt every hour weekdays or two on Sundays during day. Ideal hiking country with Kniebis at the top of a mountain pass. The town was once a holiday Mecca but lost our to cheep package holidays in 1970/80s and most hotels closed. No shops except petrol station on Black Forest highway which now bisects the village. Hotel Kniebishohe: Functional, polite and clean. Note sign there states *********** rates do not include breakfast contrary to their site. Excellent evening meals of high quality with side salad, main and ice cream with soft drinks averaging around 50euros per person excluding beer or wine. Note external dining is in tarmac area shared with car parking(attached image). Internal dining area dated but clean and with polite service. Mostly German guests but host speaks English. ‘Breakfast’ is Continental style only. Lunch packs available for extra charge. Rooms with small en-suite are sufficient but for non Germans be aware there are no in room coffee/tea facilities. Also that our double room turned out to be a twin bed room (all they are here). No air conditioning, in room safe or mini fridge. Dogs present in guest rooms, breakfast and evening dinings areas. One major failing was a pre declared potentially fatal allergy which was not picked up from the booking. Constant reminders at mealtimes were required. Even checking prior to ordering a meal resulted in an unsuitable selection being delivered of which some then needed to be set aside. Suitable options were limited and reduced desert selection only to ice cream. At one stage the allergy vs meal contents was challenged by host.
