Hine Adon Fribourg City Hotel Self checkin
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if you want a clean, central base a few minutes from Fribourg Cathedral at the lowest price among our picks. Skip it if you want a staffed front desk on arrival, since check-in runs through kiosks that some guests find glitchy.

Hine Adon Fribourg City Hotel Self checkin is our Budget pick for Fribourg. It suits independent travellers who are comfortable with technology and want to be in the Old Town without paying top Swiss prices.
Family rooms, a restaurant, a garden and a terrace are listed, and the listing is tagged as pet-friendly, though the exact policy is not confirmed.
Skip it if you prefer a person at reception when you arrive. The self check-in system is the main source of complaints. Travellers arriving late or unfamiliar with kiosks should weigh that carefully.
Location and getting around
The hotel is at Rue Pierre Aeby 11. Guests rate the location 9.3 out of 10 and describe it as central, in the Old Town near the cathedral, restaurants and pedestrian zones.
Notre-Dame de Fribourg Basilica is about 100 metres away, roughly 1 minute on foot. Fribourg Cathedral is 200 metres, about 3 minutes.
Hauterive Abbey is the exception. At 5.7 km, around 71 minutes on foot, it is far, and you will need public transport or a taxi. All times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified.
