Review of Colombi Hotel
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jul 2, 2024via mobile
Great hotel in the heart of the city. Just a short walk from the station and close to all amenities. Good food selection in either restaurant or bistro. The hotel is in 2 seperate parts so some rooms are accessed by using 2 lifts. Friendly helpful staff.

Freiburg is not only on the frontier with Switzerland and France, it is also on the frontline of the culture war in Germany. Completely run down, a dysfunctional street system, with graffiti, junkies, beggers, unkempt people, and remote controlled zombies on stoneage vehicles everywhere. The average survival time for an old-school person with jacket, hanky, proper shoes and cigar is probably less than 5 minutes in the pedestrian areas or on the bicycle lanes ;-)

Colombi Hotel provides a safe space for civilized persons, who want to watch the apocalypse from the street level terrace over lunch, or retreat for a cigar to the humidor room. Food was good. Service very friendly. Public spaces rather deserted. The hardware is in need of a renovation, but who would want to invest in such a downward spiral?

Everything you would expect from a 5 star hotel. Service was impeccable from start to finish, a great Michelin star restaurant in the location, all the little touches down very well. The price of the room and stay was great value. The restaurant good value, and the location fantastic. If visiting the region again will definitely be back.

A very nice, top-notch hotel in the beautiful Black Forest province. Classic hospitality, beautiful rooms, excellent breakfast, first class service. The room is equipped with everything you need, even some good books. A bit old-fashioned - in a good sense - but extremely pleasant.

The location of the hotel is great, its facilities are in good condition, with an excellent restaurant and the staff of the hotel anticipated our needs at all times! We recommend the hotel wholeheartedly and it is ideal for a romantic weekend scape.

Ill save the bad part for last. The hotel appears nice, staff is okay for the most part although I will say this hotel lacks the professional courtesy Ive come to expect from a property that is apart of the LHW portfolio.

Room was okay, dated, but functional. I do like the Molton Brown amenities.

The bad.

The lounge / bar allows smoking. Huge turnoff. Even though they say they have a non-smoking section...its all one room and you have to walk through the smoking part to get to the non-smoking part. Hello, its 2024. Smoking is bad for you and its against EU laws to smoke inside.

Toilet in room does not stop running. I would have addressed this but we left after one night due to the heinous behavior of the breakfast waitstaff.

So the really bad. Well, I would have to warn you that if you aren't caucasian you might experience some issues with service. The four "ladies" that work the breakfast room (all rather old in my opinion to be sluffing food) are racist. Pure and simple. I can deduce that is the only explanation why my wife and I were not treated in the fashion others were treated. Examples:

1. When we arrived we were told to have a seat and left to find our own table. Others who came in were shown to their tables, and offered coffee right away. Not us...took 10 minutes before my wife had to ask one of the "ladies." I saw three couples arrive after us, all seated by a hostess and served coffee.

2. Other people were receiving food that they could order from the menu. Not us. At no time did they come over to ask us if we wanted to order anything, despite being in a very prominent area. Oh, they helped the tables around us, but not us. They wouldn't even make eye contact.

3. I notified the manager on duty, but he did nothing. Couldn't be bothered I guess. One good thing was he took the initiative to have our car brought up really quick once we told him we were not staying for a second night as booked.

Do yourself a favor. Don't stay here. Its not up to the standards of the LHW and its not a 5* hotel.

Room tip: Yes, do not stay here.
