Very difficult to get to with a private car since it is in a no traffic zone. Would recommend parking outside the no traffic zone with a small, hotel shuttle van.

Central and lovely

Great location just a 10 minute walk from the train station. Right in the centre of town just a couple of minutes from the cathedral. Bed was comfortable and bathroom clean with good shower. Breakfast was nice with a lovely setting in a cool bar area. Great hotel in a perfect spot.

Excellent Boutique Hotel in Old Town Freiburg

We had a fantastic stay at this boutique hotel in the heart of Old Town. We stepped out the door right into the Christmas market. The room was newly remodeled with modern furnishings. It was a decent size for Europe and very comfortable, spotlessly clean, and quiet. The bed was on the firm side. Good breakfast in the morning. Excellent, cozy bar with great service. The whole team was terrific. Since it was Christmas Market season, we opted to park in a public garage about 5 minutes walk away rather than the hotel's underground garage. The traffic was nuts, and we didn't want the hassle of navigating the car through the crowds. We highly recommend this hotel and would stay there again.

War wie immer ein schöner Aufenthalt, leider war das Hotel telefonisch nicht erreichbar, bzgl. Rückfrage zum Parkhaus. Es waren alle freundlich und zuvorkommend, sehr sauber. Bei meinen regelmäßigen Reisen nach FR wenn verfügbar meine erste Wahl! Zu empfehlen als Paar aber auch Elternteil mit Kind..

Der Zimmerreinigung war schlecht. Einmal sogar gar nicht. Beschwerde an der Rezeption wurde abgetan mit den Worten " Werde den Roomcleaner Manager bescheid geben. Bessere keine hoch trabenen Namen und Titel sondern Handel. Wer macht hat Macht.
