It was good at the beginning, until one person in the room reported bed bugs bite. The staff quickly changed the room for us and offered a free drink. Unfortunately the second day I also had a few bed bugs bite on arm, neck, and shoulder. The itchy parts started to show from day two. I lived in B&B before many times, bed bugs bite was the first time.

Vibe Analysis
Das Viertel is built around tiny-house-style sleeping cabins inside a larger shared space, so it can feel more like a little indoor village than a standard dorm. The design is colorful, clever, and very intentional, with lots of small privacy details rather than a plain row of bunks. The location is a major strength: central Freiburg, in or near the old town, with the train station and main sights within easy reach. The atmosphere leans calm, cozy, and friendly rather than party-heavy. Staff are often warm and helpful, and the place has a clean, well-kept feel across rooms, showers, toilets, and wash areas. Beds may have curtains, personal lights, charging points, and lockers, which helps the compact setup feel more private. There is no full kitchen, but a fridge, microwave, kettle, cutlery, and a shared area can cover simple food and chill time. This is best for short city stops, solo travelers who like quirky design, and anyone fine with small sleeping spaces.
