This is our Luxury pick in Fribourg, and it is a comfortable 4-star rather than a grand hotel. It suits couples, families and business travellers who want a gym, a breakfast buffet and an easy walk into the historic centre. Family rooms are listed, and the listing is tagged as pet-friendly, so check the terms.
Skip it if you are expecting a spa, fine dining or other five-star extras, since none of those are listed. Travellers on a tight budget can save with our Budget pick, which runs on self check-in.
Location and getting around
The address is Chemin Montrevers 1. Guests rate the location 8.9 out of 10 and say the historic town centre is a short walk away, with a bus stop close by.
Notre-Dame de Fribourg Basilica is about 0.6 km away, roughly 8 minutes on foot, and Fribourg Cathedral about 0.8 km, around 10 minutes. These are straight-line estimates and have not been verified, so the real walk may be a little longer.
Hauterive Abbey is about 6.1 km away, which is far. Plan on public transport or a taxi to get there.
What guests say

Guests like the short walk to the old town and the nearby bus stop. Staff are described as friendly and helpful, with a warm welcome and efficient service.
