Hotel du Faucon

Room kind of big. Reasonable hotel. Walk to station ok a lot of restaurants around. View good.

Very nice place. The hotel was very clean and located in the city center. The rooms have kitchen. The staff were very kind and helpful. Will recommend for sure just a little negative point the kitchen was out of service however it did not bother me

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.

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.

Habitué de cet hôtel depuis 15 ans. Récente expérience hallucinante. La chambre n’est pas chauffée. Réponse de la gérante à la réceptionniste « donnez leur des couvertures ». La réception me dit qu’il est impossible de trouver un chauffagiste. J’en trouve un en 2 minutes qui est disponible. Nous partons dîner. La réception annule le chauffagiste. De retour à minuit dans une chambre glacée nous rangeons nos affaires et repartons en voiture. J’écris un mail. Pas d’excuses ni remboursement de la chambre. Du jamais vu !

L’établissement est situé dans le vieille ville. La réception ressemble à un ancien guichet de banque, mais la réceptionniste est sympathique. Les chambres sont grandes, mais manquent de chaleur. Le buffet du petit déjeuner est quelconque. Les prix sont doux. L’hôtel est adapté à un séjour de courte durée.
