Great little hotel in the Freiburg Altstadt, easy to access via road (public parking garage just 50mrs away) or public transport (tram stop is 4min walk). ||Staff very friendly, rooms quiet, tidy and very comfortable. …

We loved it here - Christoph (sp?) was an excellent host. The location is perfect and the building has great history. We appreciated the atrium/lounge as well.

Spacious room, although it felt a little bit weird having 2 single beds put together.Very well located in the old town, expensive parking to consider as an extra (despite the €1 validation offered by the hotel 😅)

Easy walk from Schlossbergergarage, much easier than I imagined! I stayed in the Konviktstraße building, which is very modern on the inside. Easy to get in and out.I had a single room, enough space for just me. I loved the modern Schwarzwälder art in the room! Two big windows that opened to the street, framed by wisteria branches.Located very close to Münsterplatz, and tons of shopping. I'm glad I chose this place.

Freiburg im Breisgau is a very nice city at the edge of the Black Forest region. A must visit if you're in the area. And if you're looking for a hotel accommodation then I can highly recommend Schwarzwälderhof. It's a typical southern German styled hotel that breaths authenticity and charm (If you're looking for a place that has one of those cozy 'stubes' covered in wood.. yes, they have a very nice one). It's located in a couple of old houses, in one of what I think is the nicest areas of the old town. I'm sure you would agree. The room itself seems to have been recently renovated, was very spacious, comfortable and clean. The hotel also has a restaurant but at the time of stay it was closed (something to do with some virus... guess which one). The breakfast however, was very tasty and complete. Regarding accessibility: it's about 15 minutes walk form the train station, across the old town so also recommended. Or if you come by car the nearest parking garage is about 1 minute walk. One note: some rooms may be difficult to access for people with reduced mobility due to the location in an old house, which is, believe it or not, equipped with stairs. Nevertheless, this hotel is worth every Euro... and it's actually a very affordable place to stay.

Got there and we were told the lift did not work, said they had emailed us about it, they hadn't. Got put in an annexe room, ok but had to carry the bags round the block. Freiburg is nice for a short visit.

Great location. Would have gotten 5 stars but, as per Europe, no air conditioning. Our room was good sized, and very clean, even had a balcony. Tiny, struggling elevator was very scary. Great, helpful staff. Would use again in a heartbeat
