Hotel Belle Epoque Baden Baden 

Wonderful stay at the Belle Époque in Baden-Baden. Initially, I changed rooms as the first was a little too large and impersonal for my taste. I think it was a converted conference room. The man on reception offered me a choice of two alternatives. The new room (superior double for single use) was in a building next to the main house with a lift. It was lovely, a good size with a balcony overlooking the terrace and garden. It had a lounge area, desk, minibar, very comfortable bed, and a small but well planned bathroom. TV with multiple channels, including ten in English from the UK. WIFI was poor in the building and I often was unable to get WIFI in my room. Breakfast was very good, eggs cooked in different ways, cold meats, vegetables, pickles, breads and pastries, a variety of teas and juices, coffee, yoghurts, mixed fruits, and seeds. The team really tried different gluten free bread to get one that was good. Aternoon tea/coffee was included 3-5pm with cake. The team were formal as I would expect where I had stayed, helpful and attentive though. The cleaning ladies were lovely and chatty. Everywhere was so clean and well kept. The hotel does not have its own restaurant but you can eat at their sister hotel almost opposite. The garden and terrace were beautiful to eat or sit out in - terrace with chairs or garden with loungers. There was a small fountain, it was so peaceful. The location was great - 5 minutes to walk into town and close to the Lichtentaler Allee and the rose garden. I parked in the hotel’s car park, it was easy and secure, if a little expensive at €24 for 24 hours (at the time of my stay). Ultimately I loved my stay and would happily return.
