Overall good experience. The food was nice. We only had a one night stay and unfortunately it was raining all day long.
Only one thing I suggest improving will be the check in process. The check in was one of the quickest I have ever had. The staff only let us sign off some doccuments and point us to our room. For a four star hotel at this price point, I would expect they talk us through where the restaurant, spa, swimming pools are, what time is the dinner and breakfast etc... Doesn't have to show us where they are, but perhaps at least briefly tell us some information.

Kesslermühle is one from a variety of wellness hotels in the southern black forest. It distinguishes itself in two ways from other hotels: first, it has a large and very nice SPA area with an outdoor and indoor pool for swimming and various sauna options. Ideal for a relaxing stay. Second, it offers some very fine dining with a 6 course menu served each evening. The quality of the food is outstanding and makes for e very oleasant culinary experience. The breakfast buffet is also very good and offers something for everyone. From muesli to omelett to meats and cheeses and sweets, it has it all. I will definitely return there, and I recommend you do the same.

L'hôtel, le cadre, la convivialité et la cuisine de qualité

This place is very easily reachable by train. You can just take a taxi from the local train station and then it’s just five minutes by taxi to the hotel. The staff here is beyond friendly I cannot stress that enough the rooms are very nice and big and bright. The beds are quite comfortable. In the lower floor there is a fully equipped gym as well as a pool table. The spa treatments are very relaxing and I highly recommend the candle massage. One does not really have to leave the hotel for anything because the breakfast buffet is plenty and extremely fresh the dinner you select during breakfast and has nothing to ask for you can even make adjustments to your selection or ask for something else if you have to. In the bar has a nice selection of cocktails, be careful that you don’t have too many otherwise you don’t make it up the stairs.
Would recommend it and will definitely come back in summer to hike the area.

One of the best hotels we have ever visited, perfect service, perfect kitchen, perfect room .. The hotel is located a little outside the center of the village, on a hill. Very good starting point for hikes, Freiburg can also be reached quickly for a visit. All in all perfect!

Well done for the hygiene of the hotel ... professionalism down to the smallest detail. A concern for perfection, which makes this hotel a center of rest where calm is combined with fine and refined cuisine. Add to this a list of local and international wines at acceptable prices.
A large, varied and complete SPA area
We will come back for a 3rd stay ... I forgot: quiet and ... spacious rooms

An Unforgettable Stay at Hotel Thomahof
Our stay at Hotel Thomahof was nothing short of fantastic. The staff were absolutely wonderful and made us feel right at home. It was an unforgettable way to experience the beauty of the Black Forest. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for making our visit so special.

The kindest people are working in this hotel. The food in the restaurant is really good, thanks to chef. And the location is nice, it’s quiet area, but also a playground is close)

Front of house needs attention ! Not a friendly welcome …asked if we could get help with the bags due to bedroom was on the second floor …I ended up having to make 2 trips as they said they were very busy !!!!
Overall we would say this hotel is in a perfect position in Hinterzarten but we would say the offer from the hotel is not of good value we are sorry to say !!

We waited more than an hour for our meal when there was hardly anyone in the restaurant. The portions that came is also ridiculous. I ordered a kid size schnitzel and an adults portion. They were the same size!
Will never come again for sure.
Edited:
As per the owner family’s comment below, correction on my part: yes for the adults portion there was 2 slices and the kids one. Each adult slice was half my hand size.
Yes I did receive a “top up” and I thank you for giving it at no additional cost. However, please note that this was asked by me, after waiting for 1.5 hours. And not offered proactively by anyone.
From 12.30, we waited and the meals were only served at 2pm, after chasing 3 times and told repeatedly that the dishes were coming. And that it was late because they were short of a cook in the kitchen (how is that a reason valid to the guests?)
However, other tables around us were served right away.
With that said, of course there was nothing left on the plates. Do you expect anything left after starving guests?
And I thank you for your straight forward, almost non apologetic, reply, and we won’t be returning for sure. If your judgement of good restaurant standards are only by how much food is left on a plate, and not the full experience. I guess that justifies your sarcastic comment on thanking for us not returning.
Let me more straight with my review, the food wasn’t great but it wasn’t bad either. However, the service. Horrid. You have wasted our time. By the time we finished the meal, there was hardly any sunlight left for the activities outdoors. Your staff lack customer service for a hospitality area. Your answer lacks awareness and eludes only your ego. A simple apology would have sufficed.
It would have been much appreciated if this was managed better considering we had 3 guests above 65 and 2 under 3.
Having said that, my review stays and I’ll leave it for others to judge.

Terrible restaurant. The staff is very unfriendly and uninterested. Before the drink order 25 minutes had passed. Then it still took 40 minutes before the order even came in and it needed several reminders.
Go elsewhere - plenty of good options around.
