Hotel & Gasthaus Lowen

We enjoyed Hotel and Gasthaus Lowen very much. Booking the hotel was easy and the communication from the hotel to us was excellent. We found the staff to be very friendly and helpful and taking the train into Freiburg was very easy and made our time lass stressful as we didn't need to worry about driving. Our room was well equipped, comfortable and quiet. It was the ideal place for us to stay as visited the Christmas market in Freiburg.

Genuine and cosy hotel, newly renovated rooms. Very clean, nice restaurant and superfriendly staff. Lovely little village and the surroundings are beautiful, Great breakfast, Nice restaurant, both inside and out in the garden. Can highly recommend this place!

The room was nice, large and clean. Staff was nice, polite, professional and willing to solve any problem (although sometimes struggling with communication in English). Parking is free (we could park our pretty long van in front of the hotel and were offered a garage to park our motorbikes). The restaurant seems to have a good reputation as it was always totally full in the evenings so booking a table is recommended. The meals were very good and tasty (a bit pricey, though) but the portions were very large (more than we needed). Breakfast offered a selection of pastry, dairy products - butter, cheese, yoghurt, etc., ham, salamy, smoked salmon, scrambled / hard boiled eggs, hot sausage, drinks like tea, various types of juice and coffee from an espresso machine (really nice). You may need to get used to the church bell (40 metres away - so it is quite loud) chiming every 15 minutes, but some people may find it romantic. We went for walks every evening and within 5 minutes in any direction you will find yourselves between the fields, orchards or vineyards. There are plenty of bike paths around and a train station 3 minutes away if you want to visit Freiburg, which we recommend. If you get the guest card at the reception then you travel for free, the journey takes only about 15 minutes, the trains leave every 30 minutes and Freiburg is worth visiting). Schwarzwald mountain range is literally round the corner if you are into cycling, hiking or riding a motorbike. We just did't go to the sauna because the weather was really hot. All in all, we were very happy with the Lowen Hotel and can recommend it to other travellers.

Very nice stay in a nice and clean room. The staff is very kind and helpful and the breakfast is good. The position of the hotel is perfect to visit Freiburg and the Schwarzwald. Parking is free and the restaurant serves tasty German dishes. Recommended.
