Central Hotel

We had a very pleasant stay in this ideally located hotel just next to the main shopping street and less than 5 minutes on foot from the Münster and the old town. It's not a pretty building, but who cares when it is where it is. Very welcoming and accomodating staff, notably at check-in when we got an excellent summary of what to do and see in Freiburg (and even beyond), as well as at breakfast. Clean, nice sized room, very quiet, with a comfortable bed, lovely sheets, duvets and good pillows. Nice touch to have portraits of all the hotel staff on the wall on the ground floor so you can put names to faces. The breakfast is truly good - especially compared with quite a few considerably more expensive places we've stayed in - with hot and cold choices accompanied by good coffee. This made an excellent start to our day.

I don't think it's particularly acceptable for the (4 star?) hotel's bar to be unavailable/closed @ 9pm the first evening we were there (reason for the low facilities rating). We were told this was because the staff were having a farewell party for a person leaving the hotel, so there was no-one to run the bar. Breakfast juices could be fresher and I prefer fresh milk, rather than UHT, and bread as well as 'brötchen'. The shower was quite small and the place is quietly ageing and looking dated, especially the shower room.
