Landgasthof Zur Lilie — Hotel in Verwaltungsverband Raumschaft Triberg

From reading previous reviews we were aware that the accommodation is separate from where you check in at the restaurant. We were greeted by restaurant staff and checked in by the owner/manager who spoke very good English. We were escorted to our accommodation which is 5 minute walk away. It was in a modernish block of apartments. Ours was very spacious, kind of like you'd get abroad self-catering, the kitchen unit was in a wardrobe type thing with sink, oven fridge and all crockery and cutlery needed. The bathroom had a great shower and bath and the water was nice and hot. There was also a good hairdryer provided. There was a television which worked but only German channels, we weren't there to watch TV anyway so this wasn't a problem for us. There was also a card provided with the free wifi password. The room was exactly as it is in the photograph. The room and bedding were all clean and comfortable and the cleaner came in every day while we were there. There is a Lidl very near by for basics like tea/coffee if required. There is a coffee perculator in the room. We didn't pay for breakfast but found a lovely bakery just across the main road that sold lovely croissants and pastries. Most people speak a little English and we didn't have any problems communicating. My German is terrible but its not difficult to research basic greetings and please and thank you goes a long way in any foreign country you are visiting. The restaurant and accommodation are in a great central location. One thing I would say is that it can be a bit noisy if you are a light sleeper, I found the numerous church bells woke me quite early. I shall take ear plugs next time. ||We were provided with a free pass by the hotel which gave us access to the Triberg Wasserfall, the highest waterfall in Germany and well worth a visit. The red squirrels are very cute and quite tame taking peanuts from our hands. The pass also gave us free transport throughout the Black Forest trains and buses. We visited Villingen - Schwinningen one of the days and the train journey was fabulous, over the black forest and through various tunnels. We also walked he Black Forest Railway hike which takes you on a trail stopping at various 'stations' of information on the area and also with spectacular views over the forest. We also went on the high wire in the forest, a special Halloween evening session where all the staff were dressed up in various costumes and the trees were lit up with lanterns. It was brilliant and scary and awesome, I would definitely recommend having a go. ||Also pay a visit to the cuckoo clock shop, there are hundreds of them in there and the staff are very helpful. There is also the largest cuckoo clock in the world at the shop just on the outskirts of the town. ||We ate at the restaurant every night and found the food to be excellent. The restaurant was clean and decorated well, with lots of wood and carvings and a lovely cosy fire. Very traditional local German food, the rump steak was huge and fabulous as was the venison and wild boar. The menu is very meat heavy but that was to be expected for German food, do try the sausages and sauerkraut they are really good! We sat at the bar and had a good chat with a local couple one evening, sampling the different schnapps available! Some of the staff speak quite good English and I didn't find any of them to be rude as described on other reviews. You must try the Black Forest gateau...Schwarzwalder kirschtorte. It is amazing! and very alcoholic!||We will definitely return and stay here again. There are places I want to revisit and other parts of the Black Forest to visit such as Baden Baden, This hotel is centrally located and a great base for touring round the area especially with the free pass. All in all we had a great time in Triberg and will be...

Arriving here ready for 5pm check in (!) the staff were somewhat unhelpful when we asked for our room and informed us that as it was a Sunday, there was no breakfast on Monday mornings!!. Do not think you are staying in the hotel, oh no, we were led by a non English speaking member of staff across the road and down a further back street into a multi-occupied building and shown this awful apartment. Due to it being so late and the lack of communication we had to stay but never again. It was unclean, extremely dated, the tv didn't work and more importantly for us it felt very unsafe as there was no phone to ring anyone should an incident occur nor any Wi-Fi. We didn't know who else had access to the building and although we could hear other people unsure who they were. We left as soon as we could in the morning having not slept a wink due to worry, traffic noise and extreme anger at the waste of money we had spent on this dreadful place. Also be warned that when we have tried to complain via our travel company, the owners accused us of drinking too much demonstrating their obvious contempt and lack of care for their...

We were drawn to this place by the alluring advertisement of their Black Forest cake displayed prominently outside. The restaurant, with its quaint, flower-adorned facade and charming local architecture, seemed the ideal spot for a delightful culinary experience. Unfortunately, our expectations were met with disappointment. The Black Forest cake, expected to be moist with Kirsch, was regrettably bone dry. The maraschino cherries were stale and discolored. Moreover, the presentation was careless: the cake was flipped over with two forks haphazardly stabbed into it. We also sampled the raspberry cake, which did nothing to improve our experience. The raspberries were old, the glaze was as tough as chewing gum, and it was excessively covered in clumsily arranged whipped cream, likely to conceal its shortcomings. Disheartened, we visited Edeka supermarket next door and discovered their Black Forest cake to be vastly superior—moist, elegantly presented, and bursting with flavor. For those seeking an authentic Black Forest cake in Triberg, we advise skipping Landgasthof Zur Lilie and opting for...
