The Roten Bären hotel was perfectly situated in the old city of Freiburg! Decent breakfast buffet and friendly staff. Considered the oldest Inn in Germany. A little bit of a challenge to get to it since it’s in the pedestrian zone but managed.

Old, historic, so friendly, amazing breakfast, feels so quaint and like home but very professional and very well-run, too. Room was just a little too hot for our liking.

Oldest hotel in Germany!! Almost 800 years old and still going! It has quirks, and is nothing like a Holiday Inn, but that's a GOOD thing. Very clean, very hospitable, very quaint, and exactly in the center of old-town, just footsteps from the ancient main city gate. I loved it, and hope to return someday. Be sure to visit the little ancient basement/cellar museum.

Ottima posizione, nella stanza manca il frigobar ed il condizionatore, c’è solo un ventilatore. Avendo soggiornato, per fortuna, in due giornate fresche non è servito, altrimenti avrebbe fatto molto caldo. La colazione è nella norma. Il parcheggio convenzionato è molto vicino alla struttura ma la tessera che mi hanno dato per avere lo sconto non ha funzionato, quindi ho pagato la sosta per intero pari a 30€/gg. Diciamo che nel complesso è caro rispetto alla funzionalità della stanza.
