Getting there 9/10

Flew direct to Basel and got the Airport Bus to Freiburg Station. About a nice 10 mins walk to hotel. However the rail network is excellent and i got a train back

Hotel location10/10

Shines its locations is excellent and worth paying the extra for the Munster View.

Hotel 9/10

Very rustic and authentic and looks very nice from the outside staff were very helpful

Rooms 6/10

Big enough, furnishings were a bit poor and the Bathroom was very small with only a 3/4 bath. I would suggest modernising the rooms a little to give them a more modern feel. But it is only a minor criticism

Breakfast arrangments 9/10

Excellent with a good selection of food even though the hotel was more or less empty. One of the best breakfast arrangments set in a nice dining room

Freiburg itself 8/10

We only stayed 2 days and saw it all. You will need to know a little german as there are no translated menus. Nice bars and restaurants and a number of various day trips available

Summary

I would recommend Freiburg for a 2 day break and also the hotel due to its location

When arriving, the hotel is a bit difficult to access because it sits over a restaurant. You can either try the side door, but thats locked (although there is a doorbell) or you can walk into the restaurant with your bags and access the stairs/elevator up to the hotel. This isn't a big deal, but it would have been nice to have some explicit instructions from the hotel on what to do. But once you are checked in, your room key gives you access to the side door so you can avoid the restaurant.

The rooms are nice, clean, but a bit plain. The bathroom was awkward. It had the strangest shower doors I've ever seen. However, the room we had faced Munsterplatz and it was amazing! Open up the windows and you have full view of the town church (its huge!) along with the sights and smells of the daily farmers market.

Access to the trams is only a couple blocks away and the main train station is about a 10 minute walk.

The room is clean and the beds are comfortable. Everything is new and shiny. The location is perfect, right next to the huge Church. The breakfast was very fresh and full of foods from the region.

Friendly, reasonably priced hotel right on the Munsterplatz (Cathedral Square). Good restaurant, nice breakfast included, extremely clean, very nice staff.
