Schwarzwald Wellnesshotel SAIGERHÖH I Spa Golf & Wandern über dem Titisee

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Saigerhöh. The food was excellent — every meal was delicious and nicely presented. We especially enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere of the wellness area: most of the time we had the pools almost to ourselves, which made it feel very exclusive and peaceful. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout our stay, always ready to assist with a smile. The whole experience was very relaxing, and the beautiful location in the Black Forest made it even more special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for good food, relaxation, and great service. We will gladly come back!

The location of the hotel us unique offering a great view. Titisee is very close for sightseeing in addition to the forest nearby. The hotel staff from the waiters to the manager was very friendly and helpful during our stay. We really enjoyed the panorama pool with the family. There is also a playroom for children which is a big plus for families. It was an amazing experience in the end.

Hotel Saigerhöh – Mixed Feelings Our experience at Hotel Saigerhöh left us with mixed feelings, but I’ll try to describe it as accurately as possible. From the moment we arrived, things felt a bit off. The hotel is located at the end of a dead-end street, past a football field and a small construction site, surrounded by a bit of forest and perched on top of a hill. While the view over the valley from the hotel is indeed stunning, the building itself and its architectural style are rather uninspiring. Upon arrival, we were offered a welcome drink on a small, half-covered terrace—which also serves as the hotel's main smoking area. I understand that smoking is still relatively common in Germany, but we stayed there for no more than five minutes. When I told the reception staff I didn’t want to sit among smokers and asked if this was a usual practice, they seemed quite puzzled by the question. The hotel is large and spread across both sides of the street, connected by underground tunnels. We were given a short tour by a student worker, which was helpful. Our room was very spacious but extremely dated—the decor felt like it hadn’t changed since my grandmother’s time. It was hard to feel comfortable in it. The bathroom, however, had been recently renovated, so I suspect not all rooms have been updated yet. The wellness area is appreciated and has potential, but given the available space, more could certainly be done with it. In the evening, we went for a drink at the bar. Despite there being only three tables with guests, the bartender still managed to take over 30 minutes to serve us two drinks. We had dinner at the hotel only once (at €60 per person), and it was a real disappointment. While the dishes were nicely presented, the quality was far below what you’d expect from a 4-star hotel. The risotto, for instance, was unpleasant and far too salty. The fish was supposedly filleted but had not been cleaned properly—basic mistakes. This lack of quality was also noticeable in the service during both dinner and breakfast. The restaurant staff seemed uncoordinated and lost, with no clear supervision. At one point, our dessert was served to the wrong table, taken back to the kitchen, and then brought to us—by then, the sorbet was completely melted. That was the final straw for us. We decided to eat elsewhere for the remaining four nights. Interestingly, it seemed others had the same idea, as the hotel staff were actively encouraging guests at breakfast to reserve for dinner, even passing around a form to select your meal in advance. Breakfast itself was fairly extensive, but again, not up to 4-star standards. Food wasn’t fresh or properly presented—low-quality salmon, sour "freshly cut" fruit, etc. Also, finding a table on the terrace was a bit of a battle, as there weren’t enough of them. The only real highlights of the hotel were the wellness area and the view. Aside from that, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel, and I won’t be returning.
