What a great find. This wonderful old hotel inside the walls of Meersburg was a perfect place to stay. The only problem for us was that their restaurant was closed on the two days we were there (Monday and Tuesday), so we were only able to have breakfast. The staff were so helpful and friendly, the room was charmingly furnished... more

Landed in Zurich and took a beatiful ride through for about 90 mins to Meersburg. Once at the hotel, had a great experience checking in and getting our car situated . I recommend using their car park as local parking is a bit dicey. We had 2 rooms. One overlooked the main street and the the view was spectacular. The... more

A great hotel in a beautiful lakeside setting. The staff is lovely and the food is excellent! Rates and restaurant prices are reasonable and the owner is always available on premises. You will not be sorry staying at the oldest hotel in Germany. more

We really enjoyed our stay at the Gasthof zum Baren. Comfortable room,good bathroom,very good breakfast and garage parking. We also enjoyed dinner in the restaurant the two nights we stayed at the hotel. No need to go anywhere else to eat. It's very popular so you need to book a table. We liked Meersburg,lovely little town,lots of places to visit... more

We flew into Zurich on June 19, rented a car, and drove 1.5 hours to Meersburg. Booked directly with hotel via email - very easy. Woman at registration went with me to show me where to park in their nearby garage. Wonderful old hotel with all kinds of charm and history, very clean. We were in room #14 on the... more

The Baren was a good experience. Comparing it to other European guest houses, it was better than average. My family of 3 stayed in a family room that was adequate for our needs. Unfortunately we only had a view of an inner courtyard/alley that separated two wings of the hotel. The restaurant was the real highlight as the food was... more

We just returned from 3 nights at this beautiful property. It is an old building, and is like something out of a movie set, with big old exposed beams, creaky floors, beautiful windows looking out to the streets, and a lovely dining room. It has a great location in the upper part of the picturesque town. It is surrounded by... more

We stayed at Hotel zum Baeren for 2 nights Sept. 11 to 13 and had a very nice stay. We had their less expensive rooms Room 30 and 31 in the wing over the little bridge next to the cute Clock Tower. It was perfect for us. My father had a save parking spot in their private parking garage only... more

Without doubt, the best place to stay if you are in the area. Not that I have any experience of anywhere else – but it has to be impossible to find anywhere better! Immaculately clean, beautifully and tastefully decorated, excellent menu – we didn’t eat anywhere else – there was no point! An absence of the feeling that you are... more
