The room/studio wasn't that nice. The location is rather dark and the furniture isn't of any high quality, which is a point for improvement. The staff however is very friendly and the breakfast is fine. Parking can be an issue, cause there are only limited (very small and narrow !) spaces available.

DAVID

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is a limited to no service hotel. Reception closed for check-in, which is a first for me. Miniscule shower. Poorly maintained. Antiquated. Noisy. Tiny desk with mismatched chair. Electrical outlets in the wrong places. This should be considered a one-star hotel and priced accordingly. I can offer only two positives about this hotel - hardwood floors and towel heater.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Leider musste ich vor verschlossener Türe über die Freisprechanlage diskutieren das ich ein Zimmer habe. Erst nach 30 Minuten kam ein Mitarbeiter und gab mir einen Schlüssel für das Zimmer welches ich im Vorfeld schon bezahlt hatte. Leider war das Zimmer danach auch wirklich nichts, der Parkett Boden ist komplett kaputt ( das Holz ist gespaltet ) und das Bad ist schlicht weg zu klein. Und das mitten im Zimmer eine Fette Säule steht, macht das Zimmer auf keinster weise atraktiver. Auch das Frühstück an nächsten Tag hat kein besseren Eindruck hinterlassen. Sehr kleine Auswahl und eher bescheidene Qualität. Ich werde nicht mehr da hin gehen, und empfehle niemanden das zu probieren. Dafür hat es definitiv bessere Möglichkeiten in der Region.

Nettes Zimmer mit allem drum und dran. Lage nach Hinterhof wo du jedes Wort deiner Nachbarn hörst. Aber wenn es dunkel wird, wird es auch ruhiger. Sehr nettes Personal im Hotel. Zentral gelegen und Busse direkt beim Bahnhof. Fribourg hat uns sehr gut gefallen.
