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.
Rebecca, 1-night trip

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)

Dichtbij het treinstation van Freiburg. Gelegen in een wijk met buiten het centrum. Kamer was mooi, maar wel gehorig.

This was a wonderful place to stay! The staff were all welcoming, attentive, and helpful. The hotel is a short walk from the main train station, and in a great location to explore the beautiful city. Great breakfast in the morning, nice terrace for drinks in the evening. Will happily return for another visit! Danke schön!
