Perfektes Hotel für einen Citytrip nach Freuburg.
Pros:

Sehr schönes Hotel direkt in der Freiburger Altstadt. Nur wenige Gehminuten vom Freiburger Münster. Ein sehenswertes, historisches Haus mit sehr großzügig eingerichteten Zimmern und Bädern. Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Sehr empfehlenswertes Restaurant im Hotel. Abwechslungsreiches Frühstücksbuffet. Alles in Allem perfekt für einen Citytrip nach Freiburg, einer sehr schönen Stadt mit schönem Umfeld.

Cons:

Es gab nichts auszusetzen. Sonderwünsche wurden prompt erledigt. Alles perfekt.
