Stadthotel Freiburg

I liked the location, I could walk there from the railway station and it was also at a walking distance to the tram lines and the centre. I had breakfast once. There was a big choice and the actual breakfast place is spacious. I particularly enjoyed the fresh friuts and fruit salads but also the pastries.

Overall, I found the hotel old-fashioned and it would require some renovation. Staff was nice, although the lady who checked me in could have been more efficient. I also witnessed the reception staff arguing with each other on several occasions while waiting in the lobby. Something I do not find professional.

Having asked for a quiet room high up at the back of the hotel, I was concerned at being given a room on the first floor at the front of the hotel. However, the window was well soundproofed and the street outside was quiet. And there was none of the ambient noise you get from modern hotels. Breakfast was wonderful. Delicious array of food, a nice traditional room, and none of the intrusive music you get in most hotels.

The single bed was quite narrow and I would have preferred plumper pillows. It would have been nice to have had a hotel bar to come back to after dinner.

The position is about the best thing about it. Close to the markets and Cathedral square. The room was neat and tidy. There was a fridge in the room which is a plus.

The check in was average - nothing special and our bags were left downstairs in the lounge all day although they said they would take it up When the room was ready.
