Hotel Waldlust

We spent a very enjoyable week at the Hotel Waldlust . I booked our stay with the hotel directly as their half board deals were very reasonably priced. On arrival we were upgraded to a room in the Guest House which is much more convenient for the swimming pool and spa area. Our room was a generous size with a small sofa and an outside patio with loungers. Breakfast is served in the guest house, dinner is served in the hotel restaurant a short walk down two sets of steps. The food is excellent, breakfast was a full continental style buffet. Dinner is always 5 courses, small starter, soup, salad buffet, main, desert or cheese board. There were 3 options for the main course, fish, meat or vegetarian, options were selected at breakfast, This is common practice in Austrian and German hotels and does cut down food waste significantly. All the meals were tasty and well presented. The dining room staff were always cheerful and very helpful. The swimming pool is delightful and not very busy. The Black Forest is a superb walking area with plenty of walks for all abilities. We would recommend visiting Baden-Baden for a day out, it’s about an hour away. We would also recommend the local town of Freudenstadt with its superb splash pool complete with fountains and surrounded by cafes. The rooms are a little dated but very clean. The two sets of stairs back up to the Guest House after an excellent dinner were a daily challenge!
