“Not like a typical chain hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2010

people found this review helpful

Again I forgot to take pictures! Stayed here 2 nights, with a friend. The room was bright and cheery and the beds were comfortable. The staff was helpful and friendly. The hotel is in walking distance to a lot of things but gee whiz the walk from the train is a doozy if you have heavy luggage. I had assumed that the walking directions they gave in my confirmation email meant that it wasn't that long a walk. Sadly mistaken. It's probably 20-25 minutes and across many cobbled streets which is fun with heavy luggage. I don't know when I might have reason to be in Fribourg again but if I did I would certainly stay there.

Also, the old city is really neat, make sure to check it out.

“Friendly hotel and well-placed for the centre of Fribourg”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2010

people found this review helpful

Very friendly staff. The hotel was comfortable and clean. Large bathroom. It is very central so we could walk to all the sights easily. We had a room overlooking the main square which was interesting, but was loud at night, especially the nightclub which seemed to stay open until at least 3am. If noise bothers you, suggest ask for a room at the back of the hotel. Breafast was good, although choice a bit limited. Free wifi. Lots to see in Fribourg - old town and cathedral wher the stained glass is spectacular. Apparently there was garaged parking close to the hotel, but I couldn'd find if so I parked in the public parking in the square overlooked by the hotel, which was fine and you can but a 24 hr ticket from reception.

“Very good value hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 May 2010

This hotel is in an excellent location, in the old town, and only about 10 minutes walk from the station (but best to get a bus to the station as it's up a long hill - only takes about 5 minutes). It was spotlessly clean and the room was nicely decorated in a clean, modern way. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the soundproofing was fantastic - I didn't hear anything at all from above, below or the next room: very unusual! However, despite the double glazing, the bells of the nearby cathedral are quite loud so you might need earplugs.

The staff were lovely - really helpful and friendly. The breakfast was also very nice with lots of choice. Overall, highly recommended as a reasonably-priced hotel in a pretty town.

PS - I recommend the nearby restaurant, Bindella's (in Rue de Lausanne). It's Itallian (but not pizza/pasta - more upmarket), not particularly cheap but absolutely wonderful: delicious food, excellent service, lovely surroundings.

“Really helpful staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 September 2009

people found this review helpful

Lovely, comfortable room, although it overlooked some kind of inner courtyard, so it felt pretty dark most of the time. Breakfast OK, although needed re-stocking more efficiently.

The lady on reception was fantastically helpful; we started to worry that she never slept, as she seemed to be on duty afternoon, late night and early next morning.
Resaturant was closed for annual holiday, but plenty of other places to eat within walking distance.

Catch the market by the Town Hall on Saturday morning - lots of lovely produce and cakes!

“Fantastic stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 September 2009

person found this review helpful

We stayed for two nights in this lovely hotel. I would recommend it if you like to be in the centre of town. Our room was lovely, on the third floor with a view out onto the square. We had a corner room so from the bathroom you could see the stunning cathedral. The room was double glazed so there was no noise at all from the street. The bed was lovely and comfortable, fantastic flat screen tv with english channels - heaven.

The bathroom was outstanding, full size bath, power shower and plenty of fluffy towels. The breakfast was plentiful and fresh. The highlight of the stay was the staff. The reception girls could not have been more helpful, recommending fantastic eating places off the beaten track. Unfortunately when we stayed the restaurant was closed for holidays but there are so many wonderful places to eat in Fribourg it was not a problem.

After a dreadful stay in Gruyeres (see my other review) I was so happy to stay in such a clean, friendly, modern hotel. I would not hesitate in recommending this hotel.
