In old town part of Freiburg, most main attractions within walking distance. Good breakfast. Staff serving breakfast and lady at check out pleasant and friendly.

− 2 Ruhetage (days when both restaurant and bar were shut) in succession. As a staff member was required for checking in and out they could easily have opened the bar for residents. Need to park in expensive multi-storey.

We reserved just before arriving. Everything was perfectly prepared and clean. Super nice location, in the middle of the city, with a parking garage around the corner.

L'hotel è un bellissimo palazzo tipico, all'entrata del centro storico. La nostra camera era spaziosa e confortevole, così come il bagno

− La colazione era ricca soprattutto per la parte salata, mentre mancava quasi completamente di quella dolce
