Hotel Laterne

Location in the heart of Baden Baden and size of room - large with balcony, light and nice outlook and history of hotel

Location is perfekt!

Breakfast is very, very bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The location is right in the centre of the cafe district and has a distinct character.

The hotel is very difficult to locate and there are no car-parking facilities within 15 minutes walk. No assistance was offered with luggage. Do not expect a smile when you arrive and the check-in was rushed and perfunctory, probably as the staff were also engaged in serving at the outside tables. Payment was required at check-in and the card payment system was antiquated, involving the keying in of numbers which led to the embarrassment of payment initially being refused. When asked for a quiet room we were told that the cafe outside closed at 2300 - and that was that! In fact, our room was immediately above the cafe and there were people chatting loudly there until 0300. The breakfast was rudimentary by modern continental standards.

It was centrally located and was a clean and quaint room.

It was difficult to find and the parking was not evident without first finding the hotel. Baden Baden is not an easy city to navigate in the dark or without a map of the city. Print one out before hand.
