Hôtel du Faucon

Very nice place. Large room, large fridge (with freezer), plenty of storage space, large table to use/eat at. Friendly, helpful staff. Easy 5-10 min walk from train station. Had elevator (which some others haven't). Didn't purchase the breakfast. Nice location in town. The only concern was the very loud street crowd at times, but I would definitely stay here again.

Huge room with a small kitchen and a ton of storage. A short walk from the train station. The reception has limited hours, but the staff was friendly.

Beautiful view on the Fribourg Alps. Quiet room (if away from the street). The location is perfect! Quick at the train station, old town and pretty much everywhere you wanna be in Fribourg.

There are very noisy rooms which are poorly isolated. The hotel is aware of this fact and doesn't mention it before, but still books these rooms. We were a large group and stayed 4 nights in November 2023. Many of us complained about the noise and one person couldn't sleep and had to book another room. The hotel was very uncooperative and charged us this room which was just ridiculously loud and impossible to rest...we won't be there again.

Location was the main reason why I booked this hotel, since I wanted to be in the middle of things and close enough to the railways station, which is an about 10 minutes walk from here. Rue de Lausanne, where the hotel with its 23 rooms can be found, is the pedestrianised main street in the old town of Fribourg with plenty of restaurants and cafés nearby. All main sights are in walking distance.||||After having booked, the hotel wrote to me that they have varying reception hours and gave me a telephone number to call them in advance. At the booking site the possibility of a breakfast is mentioned for CHF 15, but I was informed that due to Covis-19 this will not be the case. When at the hotel I could see that the reception is not always occupied, which is the reason why one has to always take the heavy room-key along. At least the main door next to the entrance to a cabaret is always open.||||My room was on the 5th floor out of 6, facing the Rue de Lausanne. Although there is the Italian restaurant 'Solemio' in front of the entrance and the street usually full of people, it was quiet, when I kept the windows closed. In the room was a writing desk with not a very good light and what I missed the most were reading lamps by the beds. What I didn't use on the other hand was the enormous empty fridge and the kitchen with a non-working stove. It had an electric kettle, but only tea-bags, no coffee. ||||The bathroom was good with shampoo and shower gel dispensers by the shower and the washbasin. It had enough storage space as in the bedroom as well. No plug socket in the bathroom, but at ground level in the bedroom. The room was always very well cleaned.||||Staff at reception I saw only on arrival and departure. They were friendly and the bill was left in an envelope on the writing desk of my room. At departure - checkout is at 11am - I could leave my suitcase by the reception, but only till 3pm, since after that nobody would have been here anymore.

Stayed here in room 63 for the past 5 days. The hotel is an old historical building and located on a pedestrian street in the heart of Fribourg. Access is super easy to get just about anywhere! Front desk staff was super friendly and I was surprised to read reviews which indicated otherwise! Breakfast was very good considering that breakie isn’t huge amongst the Swiss. My brother lives in the old town and took us around to see many of the sights. The mini kitchen was useful and with a supermarket nearby, we were able to have evening snacks with a glass of wine. None of the stovetop/ovens work and that’s for every room. They have been disconnected for safety reasons so you’ll have to work around that. We bought plastic plates and some napkins and everything was fabulous! Loved our stay and we would return in a flash!!! Bed was super comfy, lots of room to move around and facing the courtyard...AWESOME visit to this magnificent little town! Au plaisir Fribourg!

This property is not what is advertised. After reading about the kitchen available, it is a laugh. Yes a fridge but like every other review no rooms have a working cooker, not are there any crockery or cutlery. While we didn’t really need to use them the company falsely advertises its room. ||It is close to the station. Premium tariff, desk staff very brusque and really could not care about the client. Pay and move on. The room was not as clean as I would have expected. ||Today’s temperature was over 26oC. With no aircon in the room only two windows to open it was very hot. I’d never contemplate staying here late Spring and Summer.||The street noise permeates the whole building from the street and the gelateria below. The above rooms echo movement with chairs scrapping etc. Look elsewhere is my recommendation

I booked a single room for 2 nights. The hotel is very clean, doesn't have AC, and looks engaging at first. However, all single rooms are on the Rue de Lausanne side. Just in case, that Rue is pedestrian and full of "pleasant" restaurants. As a consequence, on a weekend night, street noise was overwhelming until past midnight, which is painful on a summer night.||Management kindly relocated me to a double room, which are all located on the back side, promising a quiet night. Indeed, the mattress was way more comfortable. Very unfortunately, a neighbour decided to play his stereo at full blast until past 11:30 PM - so much for quietness.||In general, the place being smack in the middle of the old town in Fribourg, don't expect it to be in a quiet area.
