Un poco caro, pero céntrico y con buen desayuno
Pros:

El desayuno, magnífico. La ubicación

Cons:

Obligatorio meter el coche en parking, es zona sin coches. En el hotel te dan una tarjeta para que te cueste 18€ al día, pero deberían dar las indicaciones del parking cuando reservas, porque lo adivinamos de casualidad. Luego hay que andar 5 minutos escasos con las maletas rodando por calles adoquinadas

Dunkles Zimmer, passables Frühstück
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt in einer super Lage

Cons:

Das Zimmer glich einem Kellerloch.
Sehr dunkel. Das einzige Fenster war zum Innehof gerichtet. Es war somit sehr dunkel. Der Innenhof war sehr ungepflegt.
Das Frühstück war akzeptabel. Mehr auch nicht. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt leider gar nicht.

Freundlicher Empfang,
tolles, ruhiges und grosses Zimmer trotz zentraler Lage.

und endlich mal ein Frühstück mit Hämisch aus dem Kaffee-Automaten!
Pros:

Die Atmosphäre ist super, das alte Haus mit seiner Geschichte neu interpretiert. Die Gestaltung im EG sehr gelungen, die Zimmer könnten gleiches gebrauchen. Dennoch waren sie sehr großzügig!

Durch die Lage, das gute Frühstück und das freundliche Personal würden wir unseren nächsten Aufenthalt in Freiburg wiede
Pros:

Die Lage war super, das Frühstück war sehr lecker und das Personal sehr freundlich.

Cons:

Das Zimmer, das wir hatten, hätte ein wenig größer sein können und war etwas dunkel. Im Bad wäre eine weitere kleine Ablage wünschenswert. Im Wesentlichen war aber alles soweit in Ordnung und man ist ja mehr unterwegs als im Zimmer.
