Wine festival
Lovely hotel, nice breakfast. Small but comfortable rooms. Disappointed that they don’t have the parking that they advertise at least not for us. We had to pay to park down the street. There was a wine festival in town that was recommended by Toby at the front desk which was a great recommendation. He was especially helpful and considerate in answering our questions. The hotel is close to the old town just a short walk.

Very good, would recommend
Really nice hotel. Great location next to train station and buses, easy walking distance to city centre. Staff were lovely and allowed me to work from the lounge the following day aftee I checked out with no fuss. Breakfast is served but as far as I could tell, not lunch or dinner. I don't think there is room service either. But there are restaurants and takeaways close by.

8/10 Very Good

Quiet boutique hotel in Freiburg, close to the old city centre, which is easily accessible on foot. We adjusted our booking so only got to experience a twin room (we had a double room previously). The room was very small, but clean. The single bed was comfortable, but the pillow was not. We had breakfast included; they don't have a good selection but then it is a small hotel. The property itself is great, with a cosy study where we had hot chocolate and relaxed after a day of exploration.

10/10 Exceptional

Very clean, beautiful and quiet boutique hotel! Rooms are nicely designed, a good size. Bathrooms are clean, the showers are a bit tricky b/c the glass wall is not wide so you have to watch how much you splash outside the area but it is tiled very well. There are mini bottles of personal items and a hair dryer. The staff are beautiful people and friendly and helpful. We had the breakfast once, very good. I wish there was an option to get a quick complimentary coffee when someone isn't in the mood or has no time for breakfast, like most hotels. But a 5 minute walk will take you to cafe options nearby. It is about a 7 minute walk to the Altstadt, which is fine. If you want to be directly in the Altstadt, I recommend looking for another hotel but we like being away from noisy streets, although the Altstadt doesn't seem too noisy late at night. There is a quick elevator in this hotel and great curtains and automatic metal shutters for good room darkening. Beds are comfortable. Our only complaint is the wifi.... it is TERRIBLE. If you need good wifi for work purposes or other, don't book here. We had to often try different times of day to get anything to load (travel ideas, social media, etc)
