I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which has a fantastic central location and very friendly, helpful staff. The rooms were spacious and clean, making my stay quite comfortable. However, I did find the lack of air conditioning a bit of a drawback, especially on warmer days. Overall, it was a great value for money given the amenities provided.

My stay at the hotel was enjoyable, with clean and spacious rooms that provided a cozy vibe. The location was fantastic, right at the heart of the city, surrounded by shops and lovely eateries. Although the service was mostly friendly, I did encounter a rude staff member that left a sour note. The dining experience was one of the highlights, with a quality buffet that impressed me. Overall, it's a great value for money place, though the noise levels could be a concern at times.

This hotel has a fantastic location right on Rathaus square, making it easy to explore the area. The rooms were nice and clean, though I did have some noise issues due to delivery vans starting early in the morning. The staff provided outstanding service, being very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. While the breakfast was abundant and tasty, I wish there were more variety.

The hotel is located right beside Freiburg Town Hall and is in a prime spot for exploring the pedestrian zone, making it super convenient for sightseeing. However, the rooms are quite cramped, with limited access and no air conditioning, which made my stay a bit uncomfortable. The service was excellent, with friendly and professional staff who were very helpful, and the breakfast was a pleasant surprise with a wide variety of high-quality options.

Rooms

The rooms were poorly designed, as the double bed was squeezed into a tight space against the walls, making it hard to access from both sides. The shower was in a small, incredibly hot room, and I couldn't find any air conditioning.

The staff was exceedingly polite and helpful, always ready to assist, whether I met them in the dining room or at the front desk.

The hotel has an excellent location right in the city center, making it easy to explore. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, which made my stay more enjoyable. However, the room setup was a bit cramped, and the hot shower area could be improved. Overall, it was good value for money, but the noise from the church bells at night was a bit disruptive.
