This is a great choice if you are looking for a spot in the old city. The building is charming, but despite its dead-center location and a busy restaurant downstairs, we experienced a completely quiet and serene stay there. …

This review is about the restaurant and not the hotel. This place offers an authentic German dining experience and food was great. Directly at Münsterplatz in a charming old building. Inside everything is well-preserved, cozy ambiance with rustic decor. Overall friendly staff but at times it felt that they were not very professional addressing a couple of issues we had regarding orders.

Appears on the surface to be a pleasant boutique hotel. Unfortunately the actual location is quite poor with poor signage and the entrance located near some seedy alleys. The experience I had was far worse with a seemingly normal late check-in process turning into a disaster - hotel had no reception clerk afterhours (fine) but the emergency number failed to respond to any calls/messages. Eventually had to literally leave the establishment and go to another hotel. Follow-up customer service was extremely poor. Highly recommend you look elsewhere - just not worth the hassle and attitude that takes away from a lovely town.

Very convenient location in Freiburg, walkable to just about everywhere including train station. The staff took great care of us. I'd go back, if I'm in Freiburg again.

Very nice hotel right in the centre of town in the main square. The staff were extremely welcoming and it is obvious this is not a chain hotel, but one where the staff really care about the comfort of their guests.  …

Hotel Oberkirch is a charming, old school, classic German hotel in the middle of the old town. Had a corner room in the back building overlooking the very pretty, cobblestoned alley way.  …

This is a review of the restaurant only. We have been to Freiburg many times, yet this was our first meal at Hotel Oberkirch. It will not be our last--food was splendid German cuisine. Atmosphere is relaxed, upscale and quiet. I had a flavorful venison stew, my wife had fish.

We went there in December. We went to eat at their restaurant but didn't stay at their hotel. The service was quick. The waiters were very accommodating and friendly. They even gave us a pack of tea because it was after Christmas. The food was of good quality and quantity. Really worth it for its price. The sausage were really tasty, the salad and the stuffed food that is in the picture.
