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.
Stayed there for the Christmas market. Beautiful hotel, great staff. Hotel is centrally located in alt stadt. Near all the sites you would wish to visit.
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.
Here is locating near center of old town. Very convenient.

Great hotel, Christmas markets on your doorstep. Yet our room (402) was very quiet. Room was spacious and bed large, very comfortable pillows. We slept well during our stay. I'm pregnant and requested an extra pillow to support my back, this was provided without hesitation. The hotel bar looked nice, but we didn't use this facility. Would recommend and stay again.
Check in was great. Staff were very helpful in suggesting lunch and dinner options and helping us to navigate the city.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Staff are nice, beds are comfortable, and breakfast is very good.
Towels are rough. Cleaning staff didn’t clean floor or replace dirty cups. No shower soap or shampoo provided.
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.
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 only area that needs to be addressed is the absence of “grab bars” in the shower.
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.
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.
