“A great hotel if you have a car”

This hotel is lovely with a wonderful staff. American travelers should note they do not all speak English. Breakfast is a generous version of the typical German variety. A small bar in the lobby serves drinks and light snacks. Our room was enormous, very clean and included a sitting area and small balcony. It's a green hotel so they use eco friendly materials including hardwood floors in the rooms which are great fun to slide around on in your socks! There were also surprise little touches like an adjustable couch, adjustable beds and a bottle of mineral water. The location and therefore drive up to hotel was a bit lacking if you're expecting a cute little German town. The hotel itself is quite modern, simple and lovely. But it was initially a bit of a let down to find that it's located behind a gas station in the industrial outskirts of town. You want to be driving a car if you stay here. The nearest tram stop is a kilometer away and there is a rather sad, rundown area between the hotel and downtown 4km away. There is little of interest within walking distance. The exceptionally friendly woman at the front desk recommended a steak house nearby called Chariwari where we had the hands down the best meal of the entire trip (and we had a LOT of great meals in our three weeks). Pperfectly cooked steaks, veggies, sides on all counts (they use a lava stone grill) and perfectly "gemütlich" atmosphere. We had a rental car so greatly enjoyed our stay here and would stay again.

“Frieburg - stage 2 of our motor journey in Germany”

Hotel is about 4 miles from city centre - a taxi is about €11 for the trip. The girl on the desk told us where to park when we drove in which was very helpful. She also recommended a restaurante in Gundelfingen (Charivati) and the hotel made a booking for us. One downside is that if you have a room at the back you'll quickly notice that the railway line is freight only and rather busy most hours of the day. The freight trains were long and could be noisey at times but this is not the fault of the hotel. I think we got used to it after a while anyway. There is a nice little bar to relax in beforew going out - good prices as well.
