So to start we reserved a three night stay and exited to begin our 14 day Christmas Market adventure in Freiburg. Unfortunately this ended up a C Plus rating compared to many other hotels visited in a similar category. Staff were awkward around guests and not all that friendly…. with a few exceptions. Our room was uncomfortably warm and even with two calls to reception the only answer was open a window. Check in was not very helpful or proactive with information about Christmas markets or what else to while in Freiburg. Lot of rules in general. Breakfast buffet food was good - lot of variety. On Sunday morning the restaurant was very busy even at 10 am and it is weird that once they check you in you are asked to find your own table and as you are roaming the dining room all the guests are staring at you while you are searching for available tables among those that have not yet been cleaned. You could hear a pin drop when we walked in. If you want anything out of the ordinary when you call room service lower your expectations. The bathroom needs a renovation and the shower pressure was non existent. On the positive side there were a few happy and helpful staff and it is a very nice property convenient to old town and the main train station. Overall comment - it’s an up and down experience - you’ll have one good experience offset by two not so good and so on and so forth. In the end - we were glad to be checking out and moving to our next five star property where they are killing it.

The only place to stay in Freiburg . I love this hotel . Fabulous ! The bar and music ( live piano ) has been a ‘staple ‘ for so many years and I love it . Herr L(j) ordan in the coffee / afternoon restaurant bar was so lovely ( very professional , discreet and respectful of the many ages ) and a great asset to the Columbi philosophy .

First class accommodations, great location, and wonderful staff. Couldn't have had a better 48 hr stay in the wonderful city of Freiberg!

My absolute favorite hotel in EU. Noble class. The real thing. Attention to detail. Generosity. All i need is there. I love the pool and spa. I love the staff. Mario is amazing. They go out of their way. I love the piano and the puano bar. The garden. The owner is always present and working! The breakfast IS THE BEST EVER. Generosity variety, healthy choices, and many choices, all types of nuts i love. Papayas always fresh. CONSISTENT QUALITY AND SERVICE FOR 3 YEARS NOW. I am always SO HAPPY to return. AMAZING LOCATION.

In principle a nice hotel, not cheap, on an excellent location in the city of Freiburg. However, we requested upfront extra attention for the cleaning of the room, because my wife has a dust allergy. The room was really dirty... the management did not even apologize.

I visited the restaurant many times and was never disappointed. Excellent quality food and service. Attention to detail. I feel truly valued as a patron. Even going for tea or coffee and sweets is an experience to truly enjoy. A reservation is recommended during busy times.

This hotel is amazing. It is old-fashioned in a modern way. The pool is fantastic, and the food is delicious. Hans, the bartender, was quite nice and made the stay ever better. The proximity to the old town is great as well. I highly recommend to all coming to Freiburg. It is truly worth the money. Just don’t come wearing a Bayern München jersey… we made that mistake.

A most enjoyable few days in excellent accomodation, with first-class restaurants, all the facilities we needed and highly personal and professional service from the staff in all departments. The reception and concierge staff eased our stay in Freiburg by making numerous arrangemennts for us , both before and during our stay.

Colombi Hotel is a very modern, full service hotel located right on the edge of the Old Town. Easy walk to restaurants, shopping, and the sights. Our room was modern, bright, clean and quiet. Any request we had was taken care of quickly. Staff was helpful, but business-like. Were there 4 days and the guy at the front desk was pleasant but not friendly. Breakfast was very good. Great choice of options, including vegan and health conscious options. Eggs to your preference can be ordered. Our only negative was the room temp and bedding. As the weather had cooled, they had shut off the AC. Had no ability to control our room temp. It was 20C. Had a hevy duvet on the bed and the first night we roasted! Requested a lighter duvet and even with that, we roasted. We were told to open the windows. But kitchen noise and street noise made that undesirable. Overall, lovely hotel in a great location.

An easy walk from the train station. It made me feel like I was in a movie in the best sort of way. Attentive staff, comfortable bed, clean room--everything you need. We enjoyed the bar and the breakfast spread. It was lovely, and they offer about any amenity you need. Beautiful and worth the price.
