Me and the wife have been to Titisee several times and it is one of our favorite Black Forest…read moretowns. We had never stayed at the Am Sonneneck before but did for one night on our recent trip. The room was quite nice and clean and had a large bathroom. After dark we found that the bathroom was too dark as the overhead light fixture bulb was burned out as was one of the two bulbs in the fixture over the bathroom mirror. I went down to the reception desk and the young lady on duty grabbed a lightbulb and proceeded to our room and attempted to replace the burned out ceiling fixture bulb but she was unable to do it. She excused herself and came back a few minutes later with a male who also tried his hand at replacing the bulb. He told the female clerk that the bulb base was too big in diameter to screw into the overhead fixture. He spoke very limited English and we thought maybe he was going to come back with another bulb but never did. Both he and the young lady clerk left with no further remedy for us which we thought was very poor customer service, especially what we are used to finding in Germany. I finally went out into the hallway and removed a bulb from a floor lamp, went back and put it into the overhead bathroom fixture and that took care of the problem. Very poor customer service.

The biggest and most important reason to stay here - why the Maritim TitiseeHotel stays in business…read moreas well as it does - is it's gorgeous location. You are on the shores of the Titisee, with postcard-esque views of the lake and the Black Forest around it. Other than the small town sharing your beachshore, it's all wonderfully undeveloped. The hotel is also a quick stroll away from downtown Titisee-Neustadt and you'll be able to dine and shop away from the hotel within an easy 5 minute stroll. However, take away the fantastic location and the amazing view, and you're left with a hotel that is pricey and underwhelming. Without question, the staff is friendly, English-fluent, and accomodating. The interior has a rustic wood cabin theme but some of the amenities seem like they came from the same time that inspired the architecture. Everything feels old and tired. Rooms aren't very well insulated so you hear everything. The rooms are small, the furniture worn, but it is all very clean. Elevators are small, so if possible, use the stairs. There is a pool and fitness center-slash-game room on the lower level but it doesn't appear to be well taken care of. T-Mobile offers Wi-Fi in the hotel but the signal only ever worked well in the lobby. The bar is also a conundrum. Like the hotel, the staff in the bar is friendly But the awkward layout of the bar means that larger parties will have a difficult time finding places to sit. And if there is a sporting event on the television, you might be better off watching it in your room. The restaurant in the lobby has a full German breakfast spread every morning and it's quite nice. The location and the views justify the price you pay to stay here but, considering other Maritim locations, there's certainly room to improve.
