If you want to have a special moment at the hotel. Super food, luxe in the rooms, and very nice spa. I went with my husband and we had are dog also with us. For walking trips.
Amazing that we could go there with the dog. The holiday was not cheep but good spend.
Very nice surroundings. Dont go wen you want nightlife or many things to see. This is relaxing time , walking, eating, and spa treatment. It was christmas period and the hotel was lightend and decorated amazingly.

Hotel Dollenberg in the Black Forest has a fabulous location, staff, and facilities. A really luxurious hotel but friendly and family run. They didn’t tell us when we booked though that they had major construction underway which they really should have done, but they were impressed that some English people had driven all the way there and upgraded us and that did compensate. Room service a little shaky at times.

Stayed here several times over the years. Mixed feelings. The location in great, they also run a small restaurant across the valley called the Renchtalhütte. Superb location and yummy traditional German cuisine; perfect lunch-stopover on a hikingday.
Rooms are ok, but certainly no wow-factor here. Same counts for the food. The poolarea is too small for the number of rooms they have; it can be crowded there. Slippery floors and in the afternoon you'll still find cups and saucers from the morning tea/coffee, accompanied by full baskets of dirty (and far too small) towels.
The landlord is an arrogant robot; greating everybody in a far too forced semi-friendly way. In fact I could not stand the man; he obviously sees himself as the king of the valley. Surely he deserves a compliment for running a certainly succesfull business, but his slimy and unsincere attitude makes you want to keep him at an armlength, to say the least.
There are far better places around in the Black Forrest (Bareiss in Baiersbronn) but I have to say; the Renchtalhütte is one of the best places to have a true German lunch in Germany.
So what I said; mixed feelings about this place.

We went to Dollenberg with our two daughters aged two and seven. The room was nice and room service and cleaning staff was very attentive.
The food is good - and we definitely enjoyed it. The kitchenparty was really loads of fun. Staff is very, very friendly and tries to help out in any way they can. There was a playing area for the kids outside, We also went to the hut, which was fun and the opera in Baden Baden, which is really a must-do.
What was a bit less? Swimming pool somewhat small and only suited for playing. They are building new ones, I hope that includes one for laps.
Lunch was a no-no. Very limited (no) choice - and we did it only once.
Kids are very very welcome but the hotel lacks some basic facilities on this front: There was no inside playing area, no kids menu in the restaurant and only very limited flat water in the mini-bar. For kids there is not much to do except the one playing garden.
Lastly, people are still allowed to smoke in the inside bar, which is a real turn-off.
But really, apart from these smaller points we really had a very good time in a luxurious hotel with attentive staff, nice food, in a wholesome environment.
