"This is a lovely hotel in the Littenweiler area just east of Freiburg. There is a handy bus right outside the door, that takes you to the tram, which is then an easy ride into the city. The staff was very helpful, the rooms were nice, and the breakfast was fantastic, with hot dishes as well as cold!"

Even then the night we tried to dine in the rooftop bar a lot of things were not available. The hotel made amends. Albeit, we had dinner in the Italian restaurant across the road (closest to the hotel as there are two). It was fantastic."
