We loved everything about this hotel. Quiet, modern yet warm, best bed we had in Germany, helpful staff, and most reasonable price we paid on our trip. …

I stayed for four nights here at the beginning of August. The rooms were really bright, airy and clean. Even in the unbearable 31+ degrees outside, the room remained comfortably cool.The staff at reception were always friendly and greeted me each time I arrived and left the hotel.I only had the breakfast buffet here once as it was so expensive. At 18 Euros per person per day, the breakfast had to be exceptional, which it was not. It was very good, but the lack of a fruit salad and only one vegan yogurt to choose from, meant that I ate breakfast elsewhere.The location is very convenient. There is a tram stop located directly outside of the hotel entrance, with the tram 3 taking you directly into the city centre.

I had a super stay here. The rooms were very clean and it is such a bright building. The staff were so helpful. The tram stop to get into the city centre is right at the front door, so although out of the city centre it is easily reached. There are shops, cafes and restaurants nearby too.

Beautiful location. Really nice neighborhood, great transit, very chill and comfortable. Good room in general with one large issue:The hotel is passive house, and air is circulated every 2 hours, but the rooms were still very stuffy, so I had to open the window to get fresh air, which fixed it immediately. I suspect there was too high of CO2. So there may have not been enough air circulation.

Very helpful staff. Hotel was very clean and well kept. Location is OK, requires transit on Tram service to get to most locations, but tram service picks up right outside of hotel.

I wish the rooms had some more drawers. If you’re only there for a night or 2 you works be fine. But any longer and it’s hard to store belongings.The room was beautiful, clean and the staff was friendly and helpful.

Comfortable, quiet and green, what's not to like? The rooms are not big but enough, and the materials used are high quality. Great to see commitment to save energy and use local materials where possible. Tram in front, every 7 minutes and stay included free use of regional public transport!

We stayed at the Green City Hotel Vauban while visiting the area. The hotel itself is very clean and modern. The rooms are a bit small by American standards. However, the beds were very comfortable and the closet was a decent size. …

We had an absolutely wonderful time in Freiburg, and Green City Hotel Vauban was a big part of why it was such a great visit. The hotel is super clean, modern, and perfectly appointed. The bed and sheets were very comfortable, the bathroom spotless, and loved the natural wood throughout. What was especially nice was the soundproofing. The windows are triple insulated and wow, the doors throughout the hotel are heavy! And despite the heat outside, the climate control kept us comfortable throughout the night.Perhaps best of all, the hotel puts a premium on being environmentally friendly and inclusive to all, which I really wish many more hotels would do. A good reminder for us all.Lastly, the location was perfect. We were visiting primarily to explore Freiburg, and this was the perfect launching point. The tram picks up direct from the hotel’s front door, and it’s less than 15 minutes to downtown. And, great hiking spots from the hotel (Jesuit Schloss with great views of the city), wine tasting close by, and exploring the Vauban district — a must.Our thanks to the exceptional staff of the hotel, from the front desk to the team at breakfast. All made us feel very welcome and we were certainly exceptionally well taken care of. Oh, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention breakfast. Fantastic, fresh, healthy options, and can’t miss the classic brötchen.Thank you to the Green City Hotel Vauban team. We can’t wait to visit you again!!
