We stayed at the Green City Hotel Vauban while visiting the area. The hotel itself is very clean and modern. The rooms are a bit small by American standards. However, the beds were very comfortable and the closet was a decent size. The bathroom was nice and the shower had great water pressure. However, the glass doors were a bit awkward and it was hard to shower without getting the bathroom floor all wet. The hotel provided liquid hand soap that doubled as body gel and shampoo. The hair dryer in the room was excellent. Very powerful. While the instructions for the room stated that the room is climate controlled, we did not get the temperature to change either hotter or colder. We did not find any way to change the temperature and we never asked as it was about 60 degrees outside and we did not really need heat or air conditioning. I am not sure if there truly was air conditioning. That would be a concern in the summer.
We did not have breakfast at the hotel as it was 12 euros a person and if you wanted hot eggs prepared it was additional money. We ate breakfast elsewhere as there are plenty of bakeries and cafes to go to. There was one bakery and a grocery store right across the street from the hotel. Also, the hotel is across the street from the tram and bus stop, If the windows are open in the room, it can be noisy.
The hotel staff was very friendly and spoke English fairly well. When I asked about how to get to certain places, other than in town, they needed to look things up on the computer, but they willingly did so. The wifi did not work great i n our room. It worked well in the lobby.
The area of Vauban is very nice, but about a 5-10 minute tram ride from town. The hotel gives each guest a complimentary tram/bus pass for the duration of the stay. This was a great help as the rides can get very expensive. We were happy to be away from the noise and traffic of Freiburg city center and taking the tram back and forth was very easy and enjoyable.
This hotel was very good value for the price and I would definitely recommend it.

Love Parenttravel46, Many thanks for your extensive and positive feedback! It's so great that you took the time to write down all your impressions of your stay. It was a pleasure reading it! Other guests get a really good overview due to your comments. You have gone into details, such as the hair dryer, the water pressure or the shampoo. This gives a very good overall impression of our house. Especially the praise to our staff really pleased us! The service stands and falls in a hotel with its staff and we are very grateful that our team is so popular to our guests. For breakfast we don't offer special egg dishes for extra costs. On our buffet we serve scrambled eggs and boiled eggs. And as you already wrote, there are other breakfast options in the direct surrounding if you don't want to have breakfast in our hotel. We would be very happy if we could welcome you another time! Thanks again for your great review and many greetings from the entire team! Your Green City Hotel Vauban

We enjoyed our stay. The Room was reasonably sized, clean, a lot of big Windows. It was quiet, the beds comfortable an the bathroom pretty big. The Staff was very friendly and the breakfast was nice. The Hotel is located in a quiet part of town in the south of Freiburg. To get into the City you can take a tram. There is a station just in front of the Hotel.

The hotel is modern and clean but a little basic. The staff were helpful but breakfast was very limited and there are no coffee facilities within the room. The hotel is located a 10 minute tram ride outside of Freiburg and there are limited amenities. Price seems to be a little too steep for the amenities provided. Very Very lousy air conditioning.

I can't recommend Green City Hotel enough. It is located in the Vauban section of town, which is super friendly and progressive. It is also located right on the Strassenbahn which allows you to travel downtown or pretty much anywhere in town very easily.
Charlotte from the staff was incredibly helpful in meeting all of our needs during our stay. The breakfast is delicious and the hotel is super clean and modern.

I stayed here with my school group for 3 nights and it was great! The rooms were clean & spacious. Had no AC but was still comfortable at night. Bathroom was big, especially the shower. Staff were friendly and helpful. Interesting breakfast, but had lots of options, and good coffee. They were wonderful with our group and made sure we had everything we needed. Neighborhood was nice and there's a tram stop literally right outside the front door of the hotel which was super convenient for getting into old town.

This is a nice new hotel with stylish touches such as considerable use of wood in both the construction, decor and fittings. as a result it has a very clean fresh feel to it and is to be recommended.
The reception staff are very helpful and friendly and welcoming, as well as being pleasantly efficient.
The rooms are modern, spotless and comfortable, though we found them a little chilly during a cold week, and no adjustment of the controls seemed to make much difference.
The tram stops just outside and is half a dozen stops or so from town on line 3.

Check in and front desk good and friendly. Parking available across the road in Parkade.
Rooms clean, comfortable and adequate space. We had a family room adjacent with a kitchenette, this is great as there is a fridge, microwave and small kitchen for self-service. Tram stop is at the hotel. Nice hotel and strongly recommended due to price and value for money.
