Hotel Am Friedrichsbad

I have stayed here on my first two trips to Baden-Baden, it doesn't have especially modern decor but the facilities are exactly what you would expect for a mid-price town centre hotel.

Price wise, I have always opted for one of the special promotional 'arrangements' that can be booked through the town website. Typically this entails a couple of nights accommodation, dinner at the attached restaurant, Der Prager Stuben, which specializes in Czech cuisine, breakfast at the same each morning (the BEST scrambled eggs in the world - ever. This is no exaggeration.). You also get a free entrance to the Casino, unmissable by the way, see my review and reduced price admission to both sets of thermal baths.

The hotel is clean and well run but has an old-fashioned atmosphere. I don't mean this in a negative way, it is very traditional but a little stuffy. Interestingly there are no minibars in the rooms, but there are fridges with beer, soft drinks and water on each floor which are declared on an honesty basis when you check out. It's a nice system which I wouldn't want to cheat on. There is no bar area though except in the restaurant, so nowhere really to relax in the hotel outside of your room.

Both rooms there have overlooked the street, but with double glazing on all aspects, you aren't bothered by this.

The best thing about the hotel is its proximity to the spas. As its name suggests it is right opposite the Friedrichsbad Spa, and about 200 metres from the Caracalla Spa. Although in all honesty the town centre is fairly small and as long as you are in the town itself you are rarely more than a fifteen minutes walk from anywhere important.

Run by a Czech proprietor, and attached to a restaurant serving authentic Czech cuisine, this hotel is situated directly opposite the famous Friedrichsbad Roman-Irish baths. Most of the rooms are pleasant but simple. However, as we were relatively late in arriving (without booking) and only wanted a room for one night, we were offered the hotel's master suite for the minimum tourist-board regulation price for a standard double.

Whilst the decor was perhaps a little dated, the room, or perhaps I should say private floor (!), was superb. The bath was particularly impressive, the perfect way to enjoy the spa experience with a little more privacy. The only drawback we could see to this room was that the only access to our private floor was a spiral staircase, possibly not so suitable for a more elderly visitor.

From journal Baden-Baden, so good they named it twice
