Directions
Our exceptional location in the heart of Freiburg’s historic city center means that navigation systems cannot find us because they do not know that you, as a hotel guest, are allowed to drive into the pedestrian zone.
We therefore strongly recommend that you read our directions before you come to us.

Abu2025-03-07Verifiziert Lovely hotel and restaurant. Superb location. A lovely hotel in a superb location next door to the Historisches Kaufhaus and facing Freiburg Minster. I had a superb evening meal in the hotel restaurant on my second night. Special thanks to Mr Sczesny, in reception, for informing me that breakfast was included in the booking-otherwise I would have missed out on two wonderful breakfasts, excellent sparkling wine included! Very highly recommended Lena2025-01-01Verifiziert Excellent Location is great, just on the famous square, people/ owners are very friendly. We have received a free upgrade of our room with a much bigger bed. Breakfast is good, service -excellent. Rooms are clean and cosy. Definitely recommend . Worth coming back again. fatalepicarde2024-08-26Verifiziert Très bon emplacement Hôtel ancien fort bien tenu situé face a la cathédrale Le centre étant piétonnier, il faut déposer les valises avant de se rendre au parking Accueil souriant Parle français Ascenseur Avions la chambre 58 qui donne sur la place et la cathédrale Bonne literie Oreiller pas ouf ( comme souvent, j’ai toujours les miens dans la voiture au cas où) Attention pas de climatisation, ventilateur et boules quies prévus ( les cloches sonnent) Si vous fermez les fenêtres, pas de problème la chambre est bien isolée du bruit Petite salle de bain, très propre et fonctionnelle Petit déjeuner correct Une bonne adresse pour visiter la ville à pied kafreiling2024-06-23Verifiziert Hat alles gepasst. Das Hotel hat eine unglaubliche Lage. Die abgeschlossene Parkgarage mitten in der Innenstadt war für uns ausschlaggebend, da wir hier Zwischenstation auf unserer Gardaseereise machten. Das Zimmer war überraschend geräumig und sehr gemütlich, etwas älter, aber sehr sauber. Es ging zum Innenhof, so war es auch schön ruhig trotz EM. Das Frühstück ist ein Traum mit fantastischer Auswahl. Wir haben auch zu Abend gegessen und können das Restaurant uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen. Alles in Allem ein super Aufenthalt und wir kommen gerne wieder. blinkentrip2024-05-21Verifiziert Central, charming, and welcoming This is a great choice if you are looking for a spot in the old city. The building is charming, but despite its dead-center location and a busy restaurant downstairs, we experienced a completely quiet and serene stay there. The lady at the reception was wonderful and knowledgeable, and the service during breakfast was attentive. Keep in mind that with a room in a medieval building in Germany in a tourist hot spot, you will not have all that much space, but this joint is superbly clean and quiet, and breakfast is ample and varied. HuggieSRL2024-03-22Verifiziert Perfect hotel in the main square Very nice hotel right in the centre of town in the main square. The staff were extremely welcoming and it is obvious this is not a chain hotel, but one where the staff really care about the comfort of their guests. The room was a good size and reasonably well appointed. A decent desk and chair was helpful as I did have some work to do. The wifi was adequate for video calls and all my needs. Breakfast was in the attached restaurant and was very good, although there was a limited choice of hot food options (eggs where great though). Definitely a good choice for tourists or business. stepstra2024-03-02Verifiziert Classic German Hotel Hotel Oberkirch is a charming, old school, classic German hotel in the middle of the old town. Had a corner room in the back building overlooking the very pretty, cobblestoned alley way. Although relatively small, the room was so serene and nicely decorated -- complete with parquet floor, wallpaper, and wooden bed -- I was totally enchanted. If you stay here, which I highly recommend, do not miss eating dinner at the restaurant, which is located in a different building, on the cathedral square. Had an absolutely superb dinner of venison, spaetzle, and red cabbage. And the staff at both the hotel and restaurant were lovely, helpful, and enthusiastic. Don't miss staying here! Tiziano19432023-12-08Verifiziert Hotel Oberkirch Besuch zum Weihnachtsmarkt Sämtliche Aspekte bewerte ich als hervorragend im Hotel Oberkirch in Freiburg i.B. Sehr freundlicher Empfang, sehr angenehme Ambiancein Zimmer und Restaurant, erstklassiges Essen bei Frühstück und Nachtessen. Mark2023-10-13Verifiziert Great stay, fabulous location, perfect base for our trip We had a pleasant stay at the hotel in Freiburg, which is a lovely town. The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of the old town. Its an old building with a lot of authentic charm but it was quite tricky to find the main reception entrance as it is down an alley and in another street at the back from the stated location (which is actually the restaurant rather than the hotel). Be aware that it is in a cobbled pedestrianised area so not so good if you are not mobile on foot or have a car. Also it is right on the Munsterplatz so be ready for the daily market outside in the square and you'll have church bells chiming on the hour and for services. The room was well equipped and a very comfortable bed, enabling a good sleep. If you book direct as we did you can select your precise room which is good, especially given that they vary a lot, it being an old building. Housekeeping was done on a request what you want basis - they'll service your room or not as you prefer and the staff were happy to check in with you about what you needed. The only downside in the room was that it was not airconditioned (it being an old building) and ventilation was an issue as it was quite warm. If there is hot weather then the room could easily become quite stifling. We slept with a fan on and the window open and it was ok - only then we had the bells from the minster :) The hotel doesn't have a lounge or bar in the main building. But it has an excellent restaurant in a separate building around the corner on the square. And there are plenty of other bars and restaurants nearby. We had a great stay. One final point, we didn't see many staff - there was someone on reception during the day but not 24 hours. There is an access code system so when we arrived in the evening we had received a code to get into the building and our room keys were waiting for us to get into our room. It all worked fine so was no problem but was a bit unusual.
