Cozy, clean room with elevator access. Good service from the host upon both check-in and checkout. He was helpful in guiding us to the center of the city and to a dinner house. He made suggestions on where to buy petrol. Maid on our floor was also friendly, made eye contact and spoke to us.

Great, clean hotel in the Black Forest. Staff were friendly and attentive. The hotel was in a convenient location to all the major sights in the old town section of town. The included breakfast was also very good.

A delightful find! The staff was friendly and attentive. The breakfast was wonderful! Rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. The service was better than a recent four star hotel we stayed in. It is a quiet location, but close to everything in the old city center. The parking garage (and train station) are very close and many restaurants near by.

The hotel provides excellent cozy rooms with superb breakfast in the morning. Though the windows do not open on the road, still the hotel is worth staying for an overnight stay. I was there to spend the night for travelling the next day to cologne. Very well behaved hotel personnel.

My family came to Freiburg and needed a last minute hotel reservation. The staff at Hotel Minerva were so welcoming and helped us with everything we needed. They were always friendly and even remembered our favorite breakfast items when we came back down on our second morning. Superb customer service. Would 10/10 recommend, and I hope to be returning myself sometime soon.

This hotel fell below our expectations in terms of room, location and value for money. The budget double room was the most expensive room of our tour of the Black Forest yet the smallest and least attractive.  …

I booked a room in this hotel because my sister was staying there. I.o.w. no research and thus no expectations. The price was low, so that did not increase expectations (I normally stay in expensive hotels). To make a long story short, this hotel has all the basics right: friendly owners / personel, good bed, no noise, centrally located, safe and spacious parking space for my Ferrari for a low price (under the train station around the corner). Full marks in order.

The hotel is ideally located. The staff was very friendly, the breakfast was great and the room was clean. However, they have these 'one-person rooms with external bathroom/toilet' (this was indicated prior to booking). This means that the (private) toilet is outside the room in the main lobby which can be bit of an inconvenience.

We've had stayed in this nice family-run hotel for three nights and woke up every morning with a wonderful smell of fresh pastry from the window. …
