Book a quiet room, again in foreign town (5-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

baden-baden

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'town' is the definition.
(I have seen 'German town' mean 'baden baden' so perhaps 'town' could also mean 'baden baden')

'book a quiet room again in foreign' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'book' could be 'b' and 'b' is found in the answer.
'a' is found in the answer.
'room' could be 'den' (den is a kind of room) and 'den' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'baden' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for baden-baden that I've seen before include "Black Forest spa town" , "German spa town" .)
