Eine Übernachtung im Roten Bären.
Pros:

Mitten in der Altstadt von Freiburg, mit Straßenbahn bis vor die Tür. Hatte nur eine Nacht wegen eines Konzertbesuches beim ZMF. Nach der Veranstaltung super bequem zurückgekommen. Alles zur Zufriedenheit.

Cons:

Der Preis war für eine Nacht und den Standard schon recht hoch. Nun gut ... Frühstück war ok. Aber, ja ... nur ein Kaffeeautomat, auch für Teewasser ... die Schlange war recht lang und die Wartezeit nervig. Für Teewasser könnte man schon extra was einrichten, ein Samowar o.ä. Ja, das wäre sinnvoll.

Lugar emblemático y con alma
Pros:

La ubicación del hotel es inmejorable, está en el centro , pero muy cerca de un parking, además se trata del hotel más antiguo de alemania, tiene mucha alma, está reformado y las habitaciones son muy chulas. Sales del Hotel y estás a un paso del centro. El desayuno muy bueno.

Cons:

Que hice una reserva para 3 personas en Booking y al llegar al hotel me dicen que tengo que pagar una cama supletoria, nunca me había pasado, la verdad.

Great hotel right in the center of Freiburg
Pros:

Great location in the center, nice hotel with a lot of character.

Cons:

Breakfast was a bit basic, bread tasted like it was baked off from the supermarket instead of a bakery.
