Freiburg is such a lovely city where you can enjoy the old city center but nature is within minutes of walking. the hotel is in a great location. People are relaxed and friendly in this part of Germany. I’ll be back.

The room was beautifully furnished. Olivia was extremely helpful. While hotel has parking, it's very difficult to get to it because you have enter a very busy pedestrian zone. A better description of the parking is needed so there are no surprises.

This hotel was a perfect place for 2 nights in Freiburg. Right in the Rathaus Square in the city's Old Town with bars, restaurants and cafes nearby. Close to main railway station and also to surrounding hills for walking. The staff were very helpful and friendly. It was a relaxed atmosphere and from my room, quiet at night. Breakfast provided options for all. Great place to stay.

Very cosy atmosphere, the bar is really nice and worth a visit. The rooms are spacious, a coffee machine in the room would be nice but they serve coffee in the bar. Nice experience. Thank you

New and fresh

Translation: New and Fresh The hotel has been completely renovated and is very well-located in the Old Town. The fresh, stylish room is ultra-modern but lacks character. It’s a safe choice for a pleasant stay in beautiful and charming Freiburg. However, it can never reach the absolute top because it lacks a ground-floor lobby.

The hotel is nice and clean. It was a bit quieter than I had expected but that could be the time of the year I visited. Location is excellent for the old town. A quieter street at night but walkable to all the attractions.

Once we found the hotel (google maps was off a half block), we were greeted by SanJon at the front desk who was absolutely amazing! The hotel was clean, comfortable and well appointed. The location in the middle of old town was excellent and we could walk to everything. IT was actually an easy walk from the train station once google maps was figured out.

We liked the hotel very much. The dinning area is beautiful. The rooms were comfortable, but the beds were not great. The air conditioning was perfect. The entry and hallways smelled badly of smoke.

location, location,location. step out the door and old town is at your fingertips. but the hotel is fresh, modern and full of art. And the staff is sharp and fun to talk to. my only pip is the beds are really firm...but that seems to be the norm in Europe. and ps the morning buffet is excellent, fresh and great service. you can't go wrong here!

Das Hotel liegt mitten im Zentrum, so das man alles zu Fuß erreichen kann. Es ist modern gemütlich eingerichtet. Insbesondere der Bereich für Frühstück und Bar hat mir gefallen. Das Frühstück war gut und vielseitig, dennoch finde ich 25,- pro Person dafür ziemlich teuer. Auch die Tiefgarage mit 30,- pro Tag fand ich ziemlich happig. Alles war sauber. Im Hotelzimmer hat mir nicht so gut gefallen, daß das Bett nur 1,60 breit war. Außerdem gab es kaum Ablagemöglichkeiten. Der Nachttisch war unterhalb der Matratze, sodaß er schlecht zu erreichen war und das Licht viel zu niedrig zum Lesen war. Es scheint in modernen Hotels öfter so zu sein, daß Design über Funktionalität steht. Trotzdem hatten wir einen schönen Aufenthalt und haben uns im Hotel insgesamt sehr wohl gefühlt.

Tolles Hotel mitten in Freiburg - beste Lage. Modern, sehr komfortable Zimmer und tolles Frühstücksbüffet. Schöne Bar, um Abends noch etwas zu trinken. Die Mitarbeiter waren super nett und hilfsbereit - so macht ein Hotelaufenthalt spaß, wir kommen sicher wieder

super zentral gelegen. Ideal, um zu Fuß die wunderschöne Stadt zu erkunden, auch mit schönen Lädchen. Sehr saubere und renovierte Zimmer. Charmantes und freundliches Service-Team. Dadurch, dass sich das Hotel quasi mitten in der Fußgängerzone befindet und derzeit viele Baustellen, Sperrungen und enge Einbahnstraßen sind, war es für uns schwierig, mit dem Auto-Navi in der Nacht, dorthin zu finden. Die E-Ladesäule in der Hotel-Garage ist zwar vorinstalliert, aber war zu dem Zeitpunkt leider noch nicht in Betrieb gewesen.

The hotel and its location are extremely good. The staff very friendly and helpful. There were two disappointments! Firstly and especially during the height of summer the room should have been equipped with a small fridge and tea and coffee making facilities. Secondly we missed having our room made up on two occasions during our stay.
