Green City Hotel Vauban

We loved everything about this hotel. Quiet, modern yet warm, best bed we had in Germany, helpful staff, and most reasonable price we paid on our trip. It’s a 10 minute tram ride to downtown and maybe 15 to the train station but the trams run every three to ten minutes and stop literally in front of the hotel. We enjoyed being a quieter part of town and in a model green district. They gift you with free tram rides in the city during your stay. The breakfast buffet is lovely. The staff, which includes people with disabilities, is friendly and helpful. It’s truly green—not just PR. You can even walk into the Black Forest—or take trains to more spectacular parts of the Black Forest. Only one good restaurant within walking distance but so easy to hop on the tram. We were there four nights and can’t recommend it enough.

I stayed for four nights here at the beginning of August. The rooms were really bright, airy and clean. Even in the unbearable 31+ degrees outside, the room remained comfortably cool. The staff at reception were always friendly and greeted me each time I arrived and left the hotel. I only had the breakfast buffet here once as it was so expensive. At 18 Euros per person per day, the breakfast had to be exceptional, which it was not. It was very good, but the lack of a fruit salad and only one vegan yogurt to choose from, meant that I ate breakfast elsewhere. The location is very convenient. There is a tram stop located directly outside of the hotel entrance, with the tram 3 taking you directly into the city centre.

I had a super stay here. The rooms were very clean and it is such a bright building. The staff were so helpful. The tram stop to get into the city centre is right at the front door, so although out of the city centre it is easily reached. There are shops, cafes and restaurants nearby too.

Beautiful location. Really nice neighborhood, great transit, very chill and comfortable. Good room in general with one large issue: The hotel is passive house, and air is circulated every 2 hours, but the rooms were still very stuffy, so I had to open the window to get fresh air, which fixed it immediately. I suspect there was too high of CO2. So there may have not been enough air circulation.

Very helpful staff. Hotel was very clean and well kept. Location is OK, requires transit on Tram service to get to most locations, but tram service picks up right outside of hotel.

Awesome hotel. Extremely nice staff and rooms. Will be staying here again.

We had hoped to stay in Frieberg. Now we are so pleased we were at Hotel Vauban. The room was very comfortable and the service (especially Kat) was wonderful. We hope to return. Thank you for all your wonderful help, Kat!

I wish the rooms had some more drawers. If you’re only there for a night or 2 you works be fine. But any longer and it’s hard to store belongings. The room was beautiful, clean and the staff was friendly and helpful.
