The Hotel Sum Roten Baeren has been an inn for travelers for centuries, and still serves that role admirably. My friend and I were only planning to stay for one night at the hotel, but we enjoyed it so much that we extended for another night. We were very happy with the location and extremely friendly service. Beautiful Freiburg is... More

I liked this hotel however there are a few things you must know before booking: Pros: Great location, friendly and helpful staff, clean room, lovely furnishing Cons: No air-conditioning however we did have a heater, no Internet at all, small CRT tv. We weren't that impressed with breakfast, but we are possibly a bit fussy in that department. More

We stayed here just for one night without any prebooking in the beginning of October and finded this hotel very good both in cleanliness and location in the middle of town. Also the rate was good and friendly atmosphere. The restaurant seemed to be one of the best in Friburg and on that weekend they served a delicious 4-course pumpkin-menu... More

We found Hotel Zum Roten Baeren by chance and were grateful we did. The room was really outdated, but had a patio door that opened onto a courtyard for a nice breeze. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant, and while rather pricey, thoroughly enjoyed the meal and ambiance. It was nice to have a great meal in the midst... More

I am surprised that Zum Roten Baeren is not the top of the list here on trip advisor. I stayed there four nights, by myself (older woman), and had a lovely experience. As many have noted, the rooms are large and 'gemutlich' / cozy. The restaurant downstairs serves lunch and dinner and , though a bit pricy, the cooking is... More

The hotel is well located at the edge of the pedestrian zone in an old building which has been modernized on the inside. When we arrived our reservation had been cancelled (due to no fault of the hotel) but the front desk was great in helping us. It rained throughout our stay but they made sure we left with an... More

Good points: Friendly english speaking staff, clean rooms if small, right in the centre of Freiburg, very old traditional Germanic hotel Criticisms : Very hard to find in heavy traffic, very small garage which was almost impossible to get into and reverse out of, very formal and not very relaxing, too pretentious,the fixed evening meal has very little choice and...

The "Zum Roten Baren" is centrally located for leisurely wandering through this terrific old city. The cathedral, museums, shopping and restaurants are within easy walking distance. The hotel staff is friendly, professional and a font of local information. This is our second stay at the "Red Bear", but will not be our last. More

This was the second time I stayed here (the first was in 2002, and I was also very pleased). What particularly impressed me this time was how very much everyone working in the hotel endeavoured to make my stay as pleasant as it could be: from making sure I had the newspaper(s) I wanted at breakfast to serving me a...
