The Alex Hotel

This is a lovely hotel, well located for Freiburg's train station and approximately a 10 minute walk to the Altstadt. The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful upon check-in and with any other requests we had. The rooms were modern and clean, with a comfortable bed and excellent shower. A complimentary bottle of water is provided each day, and there are nice C.O. Bigelow toiletries. Our only concern was the size of the room. We had a Queen room, but it was rather small, with limited storage for luggage etc. and little room for two people to move around the room at the same time. However, if you are only looking for a base from which to explore the city or the Black Forest, it's a great choice.

Very pleasant and helpful staff. Looking forward to a return visit.

My wife and I stayed for 6 nights at The Alex while we both mixed work and play. The WiFi was fast, which meant my work went uninterrupted. The breakfast costs 9 euro each, which is a bit pricey, but it is quite good and you’re able to add it on each morning. The rooms are really small, but air conditioned which was a huge plus in the summer heat. Everything was clean, modern (loved the shower), and the staff were extremely accommodating. The best part is the location: off the main roads, so it’s nice and quiet, but only a 10 minute walk to the Münsterplatz. We both loved our stay at The Alex and in Freiburg!

Excellent hotel! The staff was very professional, friendly and helpful! The entire staff is fluent in English, which was a huge help for those of us who don’t speak German. The hotel is conveniently located close to all the action in the old town and new town areas. He still secluded enough a few streets away from the nearest major roadway so it’s quiet and peaceful. It’s just a 5 minute walk away from the train station and there are a lot of restaurants and shops within a 5-10 minute walk. The accommodations in the hotel were excellent! My room was fairly spacious and well laid out with everything I needed. The buffet breakfast was fantastic! I looo forward to staying at The Alex next time I’m in Freiburg!

Nice hotel. Cozy room but was clean. Hotel was about 10 minutes from heart of the city which actually made it easy to park the car. One big negative was the pillows. Terrible, like sleeping on no pillows
