Good hotel
Nice hotel and friendly staff. Only complaint was the duvee....typical non feather much too warm and the pillow. Much too thick pillow which twisted yor neck. Everything else very good.

Fantastic Hotel Experience
My family and I stayed at this hotel while we were visiting a family member studying at the Uni. We were absolutely blown away by the accommodations.

The staff was helpful and friendly. Housekeeping kept the room immaculate. The breakfast is excellent.

It is right on the tram line, so we were able to travel all over Frieburg. It is right by a bakery, ice cream shop, drugstore, grocery store, an a couple of restaurants.

When we are in Freiburg again, we will definitely stay here.

Overall the Hotel was fantastic. Train comes right in front so access to transportation couldn’t be better. Bed could be a bit softer. Hard as rock!

Very attentive staff , rooms are clean and tidy .. walking distance to light train , booking included train / bus ticket
17.10.2024 Carolin
We had a great stay. The property was easy to get to, checkin and out was very easy and staff were very helpful and friendly. A huge bonus was the free transport pass we received from the hotel. The S-Bahn stop is right in front of the entrance which was awesome. Shops and bakery right around the corner too.

We loved everything about this hotel. Quiet, modern yet warm, best bed we had in Germany, helpful staff, and most reasonable price we paid on our trip. It’s a 10 minute tram ride to downtown and maybe 15 to the train station but the trams run every three to ten minutes and stop literally in front of the hotel. We enjoyed being a quieter part of town and in a model green district. They gift you with free tram rides in the city during your stay. The breakfast buffet is lovely. The staff, which includes people with disabilities, is friendly and helpful. It’s truly green—not just PR. You can even walk into the Black Forest—or take trains to more spectacular parts of the Black Forest. Only one good restaurant within walking distance but so easy to hop on the tram. We were there four nights and can’t recommend it enough.
