    I had enquired with the hotel staff about a charge point in the parking garage to charge our EV overnight, however, the promised "standard charge point" turned out to be a wall plug which we couldn't use as we didn't have an adapter available (normally, I would expect a standard charge point to either have a Mennekes/Type 2 cable or a Type 2 plug). Could have been a misunderstanding during the phone call, but I'll leave this here as a heads-up for fellow electric drivers.

    Good location close to Fribourg city centre, competitive price, reasonably modern and spacious room.

    The door to the bathroom didn't close properly, but as I was by myself that was not an issue. The door to the room was surprisingly difficult to unlock.

    Close to the train station, easy instructions if the reception is closed, very clean and quiet room. The staff answered messages quickly. No air conditioning, but there was a fan in the room

    Bar and restaurant closed all evening, was the same on last visit two months ago. So forced to go out for evening meals even in poor weather conditions.

    Staff excellent, comfortable room at right temperature, shower easy to set and control

    No tea/coffee facilities in the room. The breakfast was unspectacular. The area around the hotel isn't the most 'alive', quite industial and a far cry from the beauty of Fribourg old town

    I was impressed by the level of service and cleanliness. The room was a good size and very comfortable. It's shower area was small but the doors closed properly, unlike idenitcal showers in other, recent hotels, so the floor kept dry. Thankfully, they had plenty of Euro>Swiss power adaptors and were able to lend me one.

    Entrance is a bit weird, you first enter through a staircase and wouldn’t really expect a hotel reception there.

    Very friendly and helpfull stuff. The bed is extremely comfortable. Facilities are okay, reception and restaurant is quite modern and nice but overall it’s a bit an outdated building with small elevators. But you really can’t complain at this price. The room was clean, quite at night and perfect for a one night stay. I would recommend this place for a quick visit in Fribourg if you want the best service for your money.
