This was a wonderful place to stay! The staff were all welcoming, attentive, and helpful. The hotel is a short walk from the main train station, and in a great location to explore the beautiful city. Great breakfast in the morning, nice terrace for drinks in the evening. Will happily return for another visit! Danke schön!

Staff were excellent. Facilities clean and very convenient location from train station. Room was ready early and a great value
Zeer net hotel met comfortabele bedden nabij Freiburg stad dat gemakkelijk te voet te bereiken is. Verder zijn de kamers voorzien van alle benodigdheden en kun je genieten van een goede nachtrust zonder enig lawaai.
