Detailed Reviews: Best Town to Stay in the Black Forest, Germany
1. Gasthaus Staude
The Vibe
Traditional Black Forest guesthouse set in a remote spot, 15 minutes from Triberg town centre. You’re here for quiet country-house styling, forest views from every window, and the in-house restaurant that serves proper regional food. The location score sits at 9.5 — guests love being tucked away from the tourist bustle.
What You Actually Get
Rooms come with flat-screen TVs and well-sized bathrooms — nothing fussy, just solid quality. Free Wi-Fi covers the entire hotel and restaurant. The big draw is the breakfast: Full English/Irish spread included, which is rare for a small pension. Note that the restaurant closes Monday-Tuesday and weekend dinners require advance reservations. Free on-site parking means you can keep your rental car parked and walk the nearby forest trails.
Choose this if: you want traditional B&B comfort with restaurant access and don’t mind being outside town centre.
2. WALDWERK am Wasserfall
The Vibe
Modern apartment living steps from the Triberg waterfall trailhead. Location is the story here — 9.7, the second-highest score in this list. You get a kitchenette with a coffee machine, a terrace with outdoor furniture for evening meals, and streaming services for rainy days. Smart choice for travelers who want to cook their own meals.
What You Actually Get
The apartment features a fully equipped kitchenette with a dishwasher, microwave, and dining area. The private bathroom comes with free toiletries. Free Wi-Fi keeps you connected, and the sun terrace is a solid bonus after a day at the falls. Unlike #1, there’s no restaurant — but you’re close to Triberg’s cafés. Private parking is available, though space is limited.
Choose this if: waterfall proximity and the ability to cook meals matter more than hotel services.
3. Ferienwohnung in Triberg am Waldrand – idyllisch, ruhig, erholsam
The Vibe
Renovated forest-edge apartment with a private garden and sun terrace. The name translates to “peaceful, idyllic, restful” and that’s exactly the brief. Free private parking and bicycle parking make this a strong base for hiking and cycling trips into the Black Forest.
What You Actually Get
The apartment is recently renovated with modern finishes. Free Wi-Fi, an outdoor seating area with picnic spots, and a full kitchen setup. Pets are allowed, which matters for travelers with dogs. The garden offers direct access to forest trails — no need to drive anywhere. Location sits at 9.3, and the property is pet-friendly. One quirk: check-in closes at 19:00 sharp, so plan your arrival accordingly.
Choose this if: you’re a hiker or cyclist who wants an immediate trail connection from your doorstep.

4. Apartment Tea 1
The Vibe
Two-bedroom apartment in central Triberg with a 9.8 location — the joint highest on this list. The terrace, sofa seating, and fully equipped kitchenette make it suitable for a small family or two couples splitting costs. Parking available on-site, which is not always a given in town-centre accommodation.
What You Actually Get
Spacious layout: two bedrooms, one bathroom, a living area with sofa and TV, and a kitchenette with coffee machine, dishwasher, and oven. Free Wi-Fi is standard. The property is strict: no hen or stag parties allowed. Unlike #3’s forest-edge retreat, Apartment Tea 1 puts you right in town, walking distance to cafés, souvenir shops, and the waterfall path.
Choose this if: you want to be in the centre of Triberg with a kitchen and outdoor space.
5. H-Apartment 1
The Vibe
Ground-floor one-bedroom apartment on quiet Schulstraße. The 9.6 location score puts it among the best-positioned properties for walking to Triberg’s sights. Modern kitchenette, sofa bed for extra guests, and tiled/parquet flooring that feels clean and contemporary.
What You Actually Get
The kitchenette has a fridge, microwave, and electric kettle — enough for proper meal prep. Free on-site parking, family rooms, and luggage storage are included. The ground-floor layout is a bonus for anyone with heavy suitcases or mobility concerns. Unlike #4, this apartment is on a quiet street rather than a main thoroughfare, giving you better sleep quality.
Choose this if: you need easy access on one floor without stairs or lifts.
6. Apartment Tea
The Vibe
Sister property to Apartment Tea 1, sharing the same Luisenstraße address but with its own profile. Two-bedroom layout with a terrace, outdoor furniture, and a work desk — a rare find for remote workers. Location scores 9.7, just a nudge below #4 on the same street.
What You Actually Get
The kitchenette includes a coffee machine, dishwasher, and oven, plus a microwave and fridge. Guests consistently mention the cleanliness and the outdoor dining area. Free Wi-Fi, free toiletries, and TV complete the setup. Same strict policy as #4: no bachelor parties. If #4 is booked out, this is the obvious next pick at the same address.
Choose this if: you need to work remotely but want a proper workstation setup.
7. H-Apartment 2
The Vibe
The lower-priced sibling in the H-Apartment cluster on Schulstraße. One-bedroom ground-floor unit with a balcony that faces the inner courtyard — quieter than the street-facing apartments. 9.2 location is still strong, just not at the top tier of this list.
What You Actually Get
Modern kitchenette with coffee machine, dining area, and sofa bed. Free on-site parking, family-friendly rooms, and luggage storage. The balcony gives morning coffee an outdoor option. Rating sits at 8.9 — the difference from #5 (9.3) seems to come down to the balcony view and a bit less space, not quality issues. Value-wise, this is one of the cheaper options in central Triberg.
Choose this if: you’re on a tighter budget but still want a central Triberg apartment.
8. Sumeja Residence
The Vibe
Recently renovated two-bedroom apartment with garden and mountain views from a terrace and balcony. 9.5 overall rating with 100+ reviews. The outdoor fireplace and sun terrace make this feel like a cottage even though it’s an apartment block. Free private parking on-site.
What You Actually Get
Fully equipped kitchen with washing machine, two bedrooms plus a living room, and free Wi-Fi. The highlights are the outdoor amenities — sun terrace, outdoor fireplace, and direct garden access. Quiet hours run 22:00-07:00. No hen/stag parties allowed. Compared to #3’s forest-edge spot, Sumeja Residence is closer to town amenities while still offering outdoor living space.
Choose this if: you want garden living with mountain views, not just a balcony.
9. Glück und SPA in Triberg
The Vibe
The name says it: “Happiness and Spa.” A three-bedroom apartment with a sauna, wellness centre, and garden terrace. This is the largest apartment on the list by room count — ideal for groups or families who want shared living space plus wellness access.
What You Actually Get
Three bedrooms plus a living room give ample space. The spa facilities (sauna, wellness centre) are the differentiator — no other apartment in this list offers dedicated on-site spa amenities. Free Wi-Fi, free parking, and a terrace with garden access. Pets are allowed. Quiet hours start at 23:00. Location scores 9.1, which is solid but not as central as Tea or H-Apartment options.
Choose this if: you want a spa experience without leaving your apartment building.
10. Landhaus Valentin
The Vibe
A garden apartment with an open-air bath — a Black Forest rarity. Sun terrace, balcony, and outdoor dining area make this feel more like a holiday home than a rental unit. Location scores 9.5, and free private parking is included.
What You Actually Get
Kitchenette with full cooking basics, washing machine (huge plus for extended stays), walk-in shower, and private bathroom. The garden and open-air bath are the standout features — you can soak outdoors surrounded by greenery. Pets allowed. Check-in ends at 18:00, which is early — factor that into your driving timeline. Landhaus Valentin is less central than the Schulstraße options but more private.
Choose this if: outdoor bathing and garden privacy beat town-centre convenience.
11. H-Apartment 3
The Vibe
Third H-Apartment on Schulstraße — this one upgrades with public bath access and a minimarket in the building. 9.4 rating matched with a 9.6 location score. Recently renovated, free on-site parking, and a kitchenette with the full appliance set (coffee machine, microwave, oven, stovetop, toaster, kettle).
What You Actually Get
Kitchenette with dining area, sofa bed, TV, and free toiletries. The public bath access sets this apart from H-Apartment 1 and 2 — you get the wellness perk without booking a spa-focused property. Minimarket on-site covers basic groceries. Free on-site parking is included. One of the most versatile options in the H-series for its combination of amenities.
Choose this if: you like having a small shop and bath access within the same building.
12. Schwarzwald-Idylle in Triberg
The Vibe
Recently renovated two-bedroom apartment on the quieter edge of Triberg. 8.9 rating keeps it competitive on a value basis. The location scores lower at 8.7 — you’ll need to drive or cycle into town centre. Streaming services and a washing machine are practical bonuses for longer stays.
What You Actually Get
Fully equipped kitchenette with washing machine and dishwasher. Streaming services included for entertainment. Work desk and dining area for productivity. Pets allowed. Quiet hours 23:00-07:00. No hen/stag parties. The location is less walkable than most entries here, but the apartment itself is spacious and well-equipped.
Choose this if: you have a car and prefer a quieter edge-of-town location with a washing machine.
13. Designerwohnung nahe der Wasserfälle
The Vibe
“Design apartment near the waterfalls” — three bedrooms, a sauna, spa facilities, and a terrace/garden setup. Location at 8.9 means it’s slightly outside the main town cluster but close to the waterfall trail. The design aspect shows in the fit-out, which guests consistently note as modern and comfortable.
What You Actually Get
Three bedrooms plus living room make this suitable for larger groups or families. Kitchenette, washing machine, sun terrace, and garden. Spa facilities and sauna are included. Pets allowed. Quiet hours 23:00-07:00. Note the damage policy: up to €300 if property damage occurs. Compared to #9 (Glück und SPA), this has a more modern aesthetic but fewer dedicated wellness rooms.
Choose this if: design-led interiors and a group-sized layout are your priorities.
Check Tonight’s Price for Designerwohnung nahe der Wasserfälle →
14. H-Apartment 4
The Vibe
Fourth and final H-Apartment entry — this one adds a balcony to the public bath and minimarket package from #11. 9.4 rating, 9.5 location. Kitchenette with tea/coffee maker, hairdryer, and TV. Free on-site parking remains consistent across all H-Apartments.
What You Actually Get
Kitchenette with balcony access — the outdoor space differentiates this from #11 which relies on internal amenities. Family rooms available. Public bath access and minimarket round out the convenience factor. Free on-site parking. The balcony gives you morning coffee with fresh air, which #11 can’t offer.
Choose this if: balcony access is a dealbreaker, but you still want the public bath perk.
15. Miuti Residence (Im Roßgrund)
The Vibe
The first Miuti Residence entry, scoring 9.5 from 50+ reviews. This one brings a fitness centre, free bicycle hire, seasonal outdoor swimming pool, hot tub, and sauna. For active travelers, this is the best-equipped apartment in Triberg. Location at 9.3 keeps it central enough while the facilities make destination stays compelling.
What You Actually Get
Two bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen, dining area, and sofa bed. The highlight is the amenity package: gym, swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, and free bikes. Free private parking. This property effectively replaces the need for a spa membership or bike rental service. If you’re basing yourself in Triberg for a week of hiking and cycling, this is the smart pick.
Choose this if: an active holiday with free bike hire and gym access is your style.
16. Schwarzwald Nescht Triberg
The Vibe
9.7 location score — joint highest on the list — directly referencing the Triberg waterfall trail access. Private entrance apartment with garden views, a fully equipped kitchen, and free Wi-Fi. The name “Nescht” means “nest” in dialect, and that’s the feeling: a tucked-away base for waterfall exploration.
What You Actually Get
Private entrance gives independence from shared hallways. Kitchen with coffee machine, microwave, and basic cookware. Private bathroom with free toiletries and hairdryer. Garden views from inside. Free private parking. The property orientation is toward outdoor activities — the waterfall is walkable from the doorstep.
Choose this if: walking to Triberg’s main attraction from your doorstep is non-negotiable.
17. Triberg Blick
The Vibe
Rating 9.6 from 40+ reviews — the second-highest overall score on this list. “Triberg View” delivers exactly what the name promises: mountain and garden views from a private terrace and balcony. One-bedroom layout with a fully equipped kitchen, private entrance, and free parking. A compact but high-quality setup.
What You Actually Get
One bedroom plus living room with sofa. The private entrance adds independence. Kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances. Terrace and balcony both offer outdoor seating with mountain and garden views. Location scores 9.5. Check-in ends at 20:00 — earlier than most entries. If you’re driving in from Frankfurt or Stuttgart, factor the timing.
Choose this if: views are your priority — this is the most scenic apartment on the list.
18. Design trifft Harmonie nahe Triberger Wasserfälle
The Vibe
“Design meets Harmony near the Triberg Waterfalls” — a two-bedroom, recently renovated apartment with a balcony, terrace, and garden. Spa facilities add wellness value. Location at 9.2 puts it close to the waterfall path while staying on a quieter street.
What You Actually Get
Two bedrooms plus living room. Kitchenette with washing machine. Sun terrace and garden access. Spa facilities included. Pets allowed. Quiet hours 23:00-07:00. The design aesthetic sets it apart — modern fit-out with a harmonious neutral palette. Damage policy applies (up to €300). If #13 (Designerwohnung) is booked, this is the direct design-focused alternative.
Choose this if: design details and garden space matter more than being in the absolute centre.

19. Miuti Residence (Im Roßgrund 8)
The Vibe
The highest-rated property on the list: 9.8 from 40+ reviews. This second Miuti Residence entry offers a swimming pool with a view, fitness centre, hot tub, and sauna. One-bedroom layout with a kitchenette, work desk, and bathrobes. The difference from #15 is the view pool — guests consistently cite this as the highlight.

Outdoor seating area for relaxation. Location scores 9.5. No hen/stag parties. Free private parking. This is the premium pick for anyone who wants apartment independence with resort-style facilities.

20. Atelier Auszeit
The Vibe
“Studio Time Out” — a two-bedroom apartment with a garden terrace and barbecue setup. Streaming services included for entertainment. Location at 9.1 is solid but not top-tier — you’ll need a short walk or drive to reach the waterfall. Rating of 9.5 from 30+ reviews suggests high guest satisfaction per review.
What You Actually Get
Two bedrooms, living room, kitchenette with fully equipped kitchen, streaming services, and barbecue facilities. The garden terrace is the social centre of this property. Pets allowed. Free parking. Quiet hours 23:00-07:00. No hen/stag parties. Atelier Auszeit works best for guests who want to cook outdoors and enjoy slow mornings on the terrace — a different pace from the action-oriented properties near the waterfall.
Choose this if: barbecue evenings and streaming marathons sound better than waterfall crowds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are pets allowed at these Triberg apartments?
Several properties on this list allow pets. Ferienwohnung am Waldrand (#3), Glück und SPA (#9), Landhaus Valentin (#10), Schwarzwald-Idylle (#12), Designerwohnung (#13), Design trifft Harmonie (#18), and Atelier Auszeit (#20) all accept pets. Always confirm the specific pet policy and any additional fees directly with the property before booking.
Which properties offer free cancellation?
Cancellation policies vary per property and booking platform. Most apartments in this list offer free cancellation up to 24-48 hours before check-in through Booking.com, but you’ll need to check the specific rate you book. The H-Apartment series (#5, #7, #11, #14) and both Miuti Residences (#15, #19) typically offer flexible cancellation options on standard rates.
What’s the best time to visit the Black Forest?
May to September offers the most reliable weather for waterfall visits, hiking, and cycling — plus the Miuti Residence pool (#15 and #19) operates seasonally during these months. October through April brings fewer crowds and lower rates, but expect shorter daylight hours and potential snow. December is popular for Christmas markets in nearby towns, though Triberg’s own market is intimate rather than grand.
How do I get from Frankfurt Airport to Triberg?
Frankfurt Airport (FRA) to Triberg takes roughly 2.5 hours by train with a change in Offenburg, or 2 hours by car via the A5 and B33. By train, Deutsche Bahn runs regular ICE services from Frankfurt Flughafen Fernbahnhof to Offenburg (1 hour), then a regional train to Triberg (45 minutes). Renting a car is recommended for exploring the Black Forest towns — most Triberg apartments include free on-site parking.
Which Triberg apartment has the most bedrooms?
Glück und SPA (#9) and Designerwohnung nahe der Wasserfälle (#13) each offer three bedrooms, making them the largest options on the list. Both include living rooms and kitchen facilities. Glück und SPA adds a sauna and wellness centre, while Designerwohnung is positioned closer to the waterfall trail. For groups of 5-7, these are your best options.
Can I check in late at these properties?
Most apartments require advance notice of arrival time. The latest check-in windows are H-Apartment 3 (#11, 14:00-23:00), H-Apartment 4 (#14, 14:00-23:00), and several properties with check-in until 00:00 (midnight) including Glück und SPA (#9), Designerwohnung (#13), Design trifft Harmonie (#18), and Atelier Auszeit (#20). Always communicate your expected arrival to the property — these are managed by individual hosts, not 24-hour reception desks.
