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.

Overall, positive experience

The hotel was very cute from the street and the staff were excellent. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed on the day we were there, so we didn’t get to try it. We were offered a room upgrade which was a pleasant surprise! The hotel does not have A/C and we were there during July, so it was very hot in the room. We also felt that the decor did not match the old world charm of the hotel’s exterior and lobby. We felt like we stepped from a beautifully historic hotel into an IKEA showroom. Overall, we enjoyed our time in Freiburg and the staff were very friendly and accommodating.

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.

This was a beautiful, historic hotel. It is clean, spacious and well located near many areas of interest. The staff was helpful, friendly and easy to communicate with for the non-German speaking traveler. Due to Covid restrictions the bar and restaurant were closed but the continental breakfast was delightful. Would be very happy to return.
