Pros +
- This is right in the town square. We could not have a better location. Free garage parking was a perk.
- Great location and staff.
- The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the whole hotel was super cozy and nicely decorated. Breakfast was included, which was really nice. The hotel is right in the center of town. It's not far from the train station, and close to all the points of interest. The Christmas market was literally right outside our door!
Cons -
- Restaurant was closed during our stay but they made a reservation for us in another good place. Also, they only have like 3 parking spots and it's a bit counter intuitive on how you get there. The parking street is so tight a truck could not get by our rental car with another truck parked in a spot across from me. Luckily I saw the truck stuck and moved the car so he could get by.
- Mostly everything was great. My only issue was I had a hard time sleeping, because I thought the pillows were pretty flat, but my husband actually really liked them. Other than that, it was a lovely hotel.
- Disgusting carpet. Stains everywhere that we didn’t want to take our shoes off. Also a stain on the couch was gross. Beds very hard. Also think that they could at least provide shampoo vs an all in one body, hand, hair wash.

Location in the middle of the old town
No air air condition also no elevator and pillows, not comfortable
The decor and attention to details is lovely; flowers, potted plants, heart cutouts, etc. The property vibe is homey and fits perfectly with the a quaint village in the Black Forest. The staff is warm and friendly. Everything is clean and well attended.
I would have loved a coffee maker rather than just a kettle.
Comfortable beds, large room, beautiful modern bath. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food was tasty and fresh. Location was Perfect.
Our room was large, comfortable, clean and well maintained and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast buffet was very good and it’s close to nice restaurants and within driving distances to other towns in the Black Forest.
Not a problem for some people but I found the parking garage a little difficult to drive into and out of due to the narrowness and angle of the entrance. I drove a medium size SUV so a smaller car would be easier to maneuver.
Great location in an historic old town close to train station. Decent breakfast in the morning
Hotel Sonne is in a great location in lovely Gengenbach. The staff were efficient and helpful, and we enjoyed the room, which was one in the newer back area of the hotel. The room itself was a suite, with a separate couch/bed and desk, which made it nice for us to spread out our couple's stuff. Nice bathroom with an excellent Hansgrohe shower (the company is headquartered in a nearby Black Forest town) that resembled our own at home.
The breakfast was pretty nice, with the usual options of juices, fruits, cereals, breads, cheeses meats, etc., plus scrambled or soft-boiled eggs. The only thing was that it could be hard to move around it because of a large table made up for a large group staying at the hotel, but otherwise we thought it good.
Great location and excellent staff, especially Caroline at reception.
Nothing?

Well rin hotel ideally situated in centre of town with secure parking. Excellent restaurant and plenty of choice continental breakfast buffet included in the price of the room.
A very lovely and helpful lady at the reception, a comfortable modern room and a very good breakfast. Perfect location in the center of Gengenbach and 5 min on foot from the train station.
This hotel was fantastic. Very modern room. Wonderful staff. And quality food in the restaurant
