My friend and I traveled Germany in the spring of 2003 and stayed at the Romischer Kaiser along the way. It was my favorite stay of the whole trip, hands down. The rooms weren't fancy, kind of like staying at a great aunt's house, but very clean and comfy. The owner was a very friendly retired gentleman. He was trained as a chef, if I remember correctly, and the food was the best that I had during my entire trip. It is a short pleasant walk to Triberg from the hotel. When I get back to Germany I will make sure to include the Romischer Kaiser in my trip.

We were very happy with this hotel. This ended our German vacation and was the best hotel we stayed at after the first night. The place is warm and inviting and the rooms are huge and cozy. We had dinner at the hotel both nights and were very pleased with it. The first night we stayed, we had drinks after dinner and invited Heinrich, the owner, to sit down with us. We had an enjoyable conversation and he showed us a good hike for the next day.
The hotel is about 1km outside of Triberg so you can see the touristy shops without having to stay in the trap itself. If you enjoy hiking but do not hike for your vacation, then I would recommend all the trails around the hotel. We would definitely stay here again.

We thought this was a great place for the price. I thought Triberg was a little too touristy, but the Romischer Kaiser just a short distance away was great. The food was outstanding. Nothing fancy, just good wholesome German cooking. A great value.
