The Ibis is likely the newest hotel in Rastatt. It's modern, clean, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. There is an on-site workout room, big courtyard, and the hotel is centrally located in downtown; a 5-minute walk from the train station, surrounded by restaurants, and at the far end of a large central green space that takes up several acres. It's also within walking distance to the Schlossplatz shopping mall. Breakfast is good. One downside: I find the rooms to be rather small; there is no room for chairs or places to sit other than the bed; even the desk and luggage platform are fold-down. It can be a bit cramped after a week, but housekeeping staff are efficient and the place is impeccably maintained. The value for money is good. I would recommend it for business travel (not if you're looking for a vacation experience in the Black Forest).
