Motel One Freiburg

If you speak German as a foreign language, know you might get mocked at this hotel. Imagine you go for a croissant and overhear two employees laughing at the foreign guests because they spoke German as beginners. It happened to me, and my croissant lost its taste right then and there. One of the receptionists was also rude. Why it matters? It destroys the professionalism and good work of the other staff members. I believe the demeanour towards guests at this hotel has room for improvement.

I've stayed at a few Motel Ones and one thing they seem to get right is a consistent experience, which is just enough not to be low cost but also enough that you don't mess your budget up. I think anyone expecting space and luxury should look elsewhere, this hotel is designed for a place to sleep, get things done and get out there. The beds are comfortable, WiFi is on point, TV does what it needs to and the bathroom and bedroom space although small is adequate for a solo traveller, couples may struggle as it's a tight fit. It's also right on top of the city centre and not far from the train/bus station, breakfast is the usual European cold cuts with coffee/tea plus cereals, but local food is so nearby that you might want to opt for that instead, it can also get very busy on later breakfast times. I'd ignore a couple of reviewers here who only have posted 1 or 2 contributions and aren't regular users of TripAdvisor but other regular TA users have commended how good it is, of which I agree. I loved and enjoyed both my stays here, and it's comfortable and does the job. Consistent as always Motel One.

Once a reliable option it's gotten worse over the years. I've had a dirty bed with stains. Hygiene is a simple must have. Also won't recommend anyone the breakfast, for that money you get more over at the bakery just in front of the entrance. I've come many times but this was the last one.
