Freiburg's most luxurious hotel is one of the few where the owners are there to make sure your stay is perfect. Its tastefully furnished rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the romantic old city. Despite its central location, the hotel basks in near-countryside quiet. The Hans Thoma Stube ($$$$, reservations essential) has outfitted itself with venerable tables, chairs, tile stoves, and wood paneling from some older establishments. It has its own bakery, which even makes fancy chocolate creams. The black-tied waiters will also serve you small dishes at merciful prices. Pros: friendly service, quiet location, comfortable rooms. Cons: business hotel, often fully booked by conference visitors.

Could anyone tell me what these pros and cons are? As far as I can tell, they are perfect nonsense. Of course service is A1 in the Colombi, and of course it will be full during important conferences and trade fairs. So will just about every other hotel in Freiburg or even the region.
