Top Fribourg Hotel Reviews
Hotel Beaulac
"A lovely hotel situated on the lake. The tourist pass was a very welcome gift that helped us get around."
Hotel La Pergola
"This is a small but cozy hotel to the west of the city center. The room was spacious and comfortable with a small bath. The lobby was cozy and the buffet breakfast was good with a number of options. It is close to several tram and bus routes which made it easy to get around. I appreciated being around some greenery in this area of the city. They do not have 24-hour staffing at the front desk so a code is needed to open the door after hours."
Hotel National Bern
"Will recommend this place."
Hine Adon Fribourg City Aparthotel Self checkin
"The room was very clean and spacious enough for 4 of us. We were a little confused finding our room with the self checkin. Very close to all amenities in downtown Fribourg. The only downfall is we had to carry all of our luggage upstairs as there is no elevator. Laundry facilities were decent to use but drying clothes were very difficult with the amount of time it took. It was quiet and the beds were comfortable."
ibis Styles Bern City
"Es un hotel muy bonito el desayuno me encantó muy completo y las habitaciones cómodas. Su ubicaciones es quizá un poquito lejos pero el transporte de Berna lo resuelve además q te dan una tarjeta de transporte gratis"
ibis budget Bern Expo
"This hotel is a good option for those traveling by car, as it has underground parking and offers a free public transport pass, making the stay even more comfortable."
Los Lorentes Residences
"You can book, check in, and check out without ever speaking to another person… if that’s what you like, it’s great! We certainly missed the human contact. Otherwise, it’s a good place to stay. The fire alarm was triggered while we were here (no big deal, just an alarm), which isn’t a problem except the stairwell door wouldn’t open to the lobby without a key card even while the alarm was going off, which is pretty concerning considering a lot of folks didn’t have their keycard in their pyjamas at 22:00."
Le Sauvage
"Great boutique hotel in the old part of town, down by the river. An historic building that has recently been carefully renovated and rooms have great atmosphere. Friendly staff, great breakfast and we felt very welcome."
