The hotel is newly built and the room was spacious and comfortable with a table and sofa. The bathroom was well appointed. It is a bit of a walk to the city centre but not too far from the station. We were very comfortable here. …

This place seems super nice. Free breakfast and they provide info on busy times so you can avoid the rush. Very helpful staff and modern/flexible rooms that work great for the size.Only issue was there was a really weird and persistent odor. There was perfume/cologne or something like incense so strong in the hallway that it seemed to be seeping into our room. Family staying in other rooms on our floor mentioned the same thing and also said bathroom pipes were emitting an odor like they hadn't been used in a while.

It was a really nice stay. The rooms are big enough, modern and neat, the bed was comfortable and I really liked that there was a couch and a table in the room. There was also enough space to keep our luggage. The bathroom looked really good, with a spacious shower and a heated mirror that kept it from fogging up. Everything was also squeaky clean. The receptionist was friendly and welcoming. What I didn't really like was the breakfast. At about 8 o'clock we went downstairs for breakfast and unfortunately we had to wait a while because the plates at the buffet were empty and there were already guests waiting for the refill. And that unfortunately took a while. We also had to stand in line for coffee since there are only 2 coffee machines which are working quite slow. But apart from this the breakfast was ok.

Premier Inn Hotels are generally the best of the best. I stayed in another Premier Inn Hotel (I dont remember where) and it was great. This time we visited Freiburg and I have to say this hotel was awesome. …
