    Spacious well decorated Room, with a huge extremely comfortable bed. Very clean, in a quieter but central part of Fribourg. The building is old, but you don't notice that anywehere negatively. Can recommend to anyone.

    Nothing. (Minor thing - there was a room fan leftover from summer days in the room still that took up space in the wardrobe.)

    Everything... Great coffee machinr and chocolate in the mini fridge, loads of cushions, comfy bed, stylish furniture and lighting, super clean.

    Nothing! For those traveling to the hotel, it’s important to be aware that only the number 4 bus provides direct service to the hotel. If you take other buses, be prepared for a bit of a trek – they only stop at the top, which means you’ll need to navigate a descent on cobblestone streets with your suitcase in hand.

    The hotel is well kept with sufficient modernity. The staff were so friendly, there should be more of such hospitality in Switzerland! They were simply lovely, from check-in to breakfast up until check-out.

    The sloping ceiling in the bedroom reduces space, plus you have to be very careful not to bang your head.

    No AC or efficient ventilation system in the room which was really not great during a heat wave and when your room is in the ceiling of the hotel... It was 38 degrees in the room during the day and i could barely make it go down to 28 at night even when keeping the windows open for hours. They had an old standing ventilator in the room but obviously not powerful enough to make any real difference so i couldn't really sleep for a week. I complained every day about it but they explained that because it's a heritage building they never could open the walls to install an efficient system. After a few days they offered a different room but i didn't feel like packing all of my stuff again just to save maybe 2-3 degrees. I suggested that they open the windows at least for a few hours in the stairwell at night to make the general temperature of the hotel drop but they never tried while i was there. I understand their issue but i think they will need to adapt some way sometimes soon because summers are just going to get warmer in the future... Standing AC units in the rooms maybe...? For the price of the room, i would have appreciated at least a little discount or a free dinner at the restaurant or something to compensate for the discomfort. It was the only thing that i didn't like about the place though, everything else was really great!

    Great hotel, great staff, great location. I was in the biggest room in the ceiling of the hotel, the room and restroom - recently renovated - were awesome. It's not super close to the main action in the city but the bus station is right in front of the hotel and the bus gets you to the train station in 10 min. Or the stairs if you feel in shape. Try the funiculaire at least once. Very close to the public pool which was great during the summer heat wave. There are a few dinner options around for any budget.

    The bells… I know it’s not the hotels fault but if your a light sleeper then the constant church bells outside are very annoying!

    Great location, very clean, fantastic friendly staff, lovely breakfast and well appointed rooms - very modern and quirky. The room fan was perfect!

    Unfortunately, the room itself was not what I expected. It was adjacent to the restaurant's terrace and faced the street, and was therefore quite loud late at night and early in the morning. The room's cleanliness was also not up to four-star standards. Overall, however, a pleasant stay in Fribourg.

    Nice location close to downtown and walking/hiking trails. Very friendly and helpful staff - in particular, I wanted to thank Alexandra for patiently answering all the questions, giving recommendations for walks and places to eat, helping with issues in the room, and making some special arrangements on the last day of our stay. I would also like to thank Antoine for his kind attention and rememering which guest I was and what I needed.

    The hotel is located in a historical building, but the rooms are spacious and modern, made with love for furniture and other details. Best possible location in the old part of the city, very well connected to the train station, walking distance to main attractions, but also hiking routes. Enthusiastic, young and multilingual team. Make sure to have dinner in the hotel. It's high cuisine. A true gem.

    Breakfast could be better. And until 10.00 or even 11.00, not 9.00 in considération of the "cool" atmosphere of the place. Otherwise, it does not make sense.

    Somehow they didn't manage to clean the room by 14:00 (that is when we came back exhausted from a longish walk about town) so it stayed that way. But that is probably because it was a Sunday. But that is really the only hick up.

    Big clean stylish room. Wonderful friendly staff. Very nice breakfast. Brilliant location in the old quarter of Fribourg. Everything can be done by foot. Excellent restaurant nearby across the square and parking in front of hotel (usually a difficult task in Switzerland). We just loved it.
