I stayed at Schwarzwald Panorama in December 2009. We arrived late on Christmas Eve, the lady at the hotel was very friendly dispite having to wait up for us to arrive. The room was lovely and the view from the balcony amazing. I will be staying again next time I go to Bad Wildbad.

Excellent hotel tucked away in the hills of the black forest. We stopped at this town while we were touring Germany and wanted to experience the black forest. The town of Bad wildbad seemed like a town that eurpeans go on for a weekend get-away. This hotel was very clean and large. We had a one bedroom which had a seperate bedroom, small kitchen, living room and balcony. The location is up on the hill so you over look the town of bad wildbad (see pictures). We stayed for 2 nights and didn't notice a lot of other people at the hotel. I'm not sure if this was because it was May or if this is how the town is. Pretty much everything was shut down on saturday night/ sunday. However, the hotel was a great, clean place to relax!

We stayed at Hotel Hammer as a couple and the room was superb, more like an apartment, so excellent value for money.
Clean, spacious and with a beautiful view of the town and forest.
Jorgen Hammer, our host, was a great character, and looks after his accommodation. Would've definitely stayed longer if we could. One night just wasn't enough!
Lovely buffet breakfast, too.

This is the second time my wife and I have stayed at this hotel in this Black Forest spa town and each time it has exceeded our expectations. We stayed here once four years ago and now, which is July, 2008.

We travel to the Black Forest for the annual Rossini opera festival in July. The hotel is supposedly a three-star but really it is better. For a mere 78 euros a night we have a large two-bedroom suite with a kitchenette (a stovetop and fridge, but no microwave or oven), dishes, plates and silver. We have a great balcony with a beautiful view of this charming little valley. A comfortable bed and a good bathroom. Outside our balcony is a fir tree with narrow pine cones that -- I now realize -- are the model for the weights on cuckoo clocks.

The building was constructed probably in the 70s or 80s, and was recently updated. It is up a hill, which accounts for the view. You drive up the hill, but once you're parked you will probably want to walk.

The proprietor, Juergen Hammer, tells us he used to run a large hotel in Asia and now runs his own little hotel here. He knows what he is doing and how to run a good hotel. Breakfast here is excellent, like most German hotel breakfasts..

I recommend the hotel -- and for that matter the little valley, the spas and the festival -- for anyone looking for a relaxing vacation.

By the way, the Internet is free -- and that's how I'm writing this review.
