Hotel Minerva

Hotel is very close to the train station, hence, easily accessible on foot. It's also close to the old town. So if you travel to see the town, this place is for you. Tram stops are at the train station, so this option is also easily available. Hotel provides free of charge tickets for tram/bus. We arrived early, around 11 am but the very kind lady at the reception immediately let us in without additional fee - it was super convenient as we prepared ourselves and started our day without thinking about check-in formalities in the afternoon. Also, on the day of check out, we left our luggage there and when came back for it, were allowed to wait our departure time in the hall - it was a relief in a cold winter. Breakfast is very nice. All food is tasty. Hotel offers immediately cooked omelette with bacon, cheese or vegetables per your preference. Hot drinks aren't in big jars on a buffet table, but are served in pots on your table. The vessel in the hotel is beautiful and all is nicely served, that makes the whole atmosphere very friendly and family type. You can drink tea, coffee or mint/lemon water and have some snacks any time during a day, free of charge - we used this opportunity on our arrival and strengthened ourselves after travel. We stayed 3 in the room, which is small but with everything you might need (wardrobe, small table, chairs, water, hairdryer, shampoo, but there are no other utilities). It is basic, though clean and perfectly enough, especially for a short stay or even longer, if you're alone or a couple. Probably wouldn't fit family with kids for longer then one night.

The only problem was that the lift wasn't working which was ok for us being with a backpack but might be a problem with heavy luggage (though we were offered assistance) or for those with older age.

Very clean and quiet room, bathroom recently renovated, friendly staff, we got upgraded for free. Right next to the historical centre of Freiburg. You can leave your luggage. Overall very good value for money.

Double bed was two single beds joined in the middle.

Best part of this hotel is its location, it is close to the railway station and also to the city center. So it's easy to carry your luggage by walking.

The room was not very spacious.

It was one of the best hotels we stayed. Location was great and the staff was amazing. They were so kind and concerned. The breakfast was really good. 10/10 reccomending this hotel. Thank you!

The hotel and our room were clean, our room was the one we booked which we appreciated. The breakfast was good and had nice festive decor. We had to ask if they had eggs which they made for us as they only had boiled eggs available. We were able to adjust the temperature in our room and felt comfortable. We had two chairs to sit on for our comfort. The hotel is in the old town so it’s an easy walk to the nearby Christmas markets if you visit in Nov/Dec.

The customer service was variable depending on who you were talking to at the time. The woman at reception made us feel like we were bothering her whenever we had a question, fairly simple queries were too much for her and she never smiled. When we first booked the room and we checked if it would be the one we would be getting I was addressed in a non welcoming patronising manner but the situation was cleared up quickly and we got the room we booked. There was no Christmas tree in the main lobby which I would have appreciated seeing given there was enough space for one.

This was my second time at Minerva Hotel. The way the people involved in the running of this place is second to none. Great value for money. Hope to make it three times soon.

Honestly... I would like things to stay as they are No changes.

Very friendly and helpful staff at the Minerva! I really enjoyed my stay. The bedroom was well furnished and very clean with a really comfortable bed. The breakfast buffet had a nice selection of sweet and savoury and was presented well.The location is great too; just a few mins from the main station and well within walking distance of all the major attractions of this lovely city. Although the location is quite central, the room was quiet and the black-out curtains were very welcome too.The lovely man at the front desk was very helpful; giving me directions and checking train times too.

I would have liked a kettle in my room- but being British stereotype, I would say that!

The room was spacious and sparkling clean. Breakfast was limited but good. Great location - very close to the train station and just a short walk to the center of town.

It was a bit pricey, but that seems to be the standard in this area.

Quiet street, good breakfast.

Bed was constantly cracking when Turnier around.

Location in the close viscinity of the railway station and the old part of town is excellent. Breakfast and the breakfast area was good. Room was very clean.

Room and bathroom are small and dated. However, all was functional and clean. There is no 24hr reception. The hotel does warn you by mail. Staff looked stressed and the welcome attitude at late arrival could be better. To note that there was a key drop box with a code and an email does ask for notification when you arrive after 6PM. I did not do that (business meetings). So functionally no complaints..

Location is very central, hosts are really nice and helpful, and breakfast is varied

Nothing honestly.

Great location, clean and comfortable

The welcome was so welcoming and informative, I also felt comfortable from the moment I walked in. The whole hotel was lovely and clean, my room was completely fine and very clean (single room) with everything that you would need for a comfortable stay. Breakfast was more than I was expecting with breads, pastries, cereals, Cheeses, meat, eggs and even hot food. The staff were amazing and the coffee kept coming which totally suited. There was a lounge area where there were teas, coffee water etc with no extra charge. The house keeping was amazing. It was less than a 10 min walk from the stations and also less than 10 mins to the old town, cathedral and square. Highly recommend and if ever I was to visit again I would 100% stay there again. 10/10

The only complaint I might find (with a struggle) was no fridge and no safe in the room. Though having said that, I felt that the hotel was safe and trustworthy.

Good central but still quiet and peaceful location. Nice room and breakfast. Parking nearby at train station.

We loved the breakfast and the room was spacious and clean! Location was perfect near everything and close to the central station and a super market open until 11 pm.

The only thing was the coupons provided for the parking did not work and there was no help on how to make them work.

We had a great stay at Hotel Minerva. Staff was so nice and very helpful. Room was clean, and had a nice little balcony with a table and chairs. Nice breakfast spread each morning. And the hotel is in a great location, walking distance to just about anything you'd want to do in Freiburg as well as the train station.

This is a fantastic hotel, the staff are so friendly and accommodating, they make you feel right at home. Highly recommended.The hotel has old time feel and charm, with rooms that have all modern facilities Location is perfect.

Nice and convenient to both trainstation and old city. Had spacious bathroom and toilet in the hall , but private for the room and it worked just fine.Super clean and good breakfast.

Breakfast was great. Room nice. We also had corner room with balcony which was very welcome.

Convient location just a few minutes from the train station yet in good neighbourhood, charming building, clean room with balcony and friendly staff. Nice little terrace to take their good breakfast outside.
