Hotel Drei König

Great location for Lörrach. Walking distance to everything. Decent bar downstairs.

Internet was ridiculous. Not just a constantly broken connection, but a network set up to restrict all but web and email access. It infuriates me how fellow IT professionals can set up a hotel network restricted to web/SMTP. In layman's terms, this means the internet was set up so that I couldn't access my company's servers, my general work logins, my file transfer services or in fact ANYTHING except a basic web browser and mail. Such "security" setups make absolutely no sense and are the hallmark of 18 year old script kiddies with newly granted sysadmin privileges. Of course I circumvented all the security measures but it was a waste of my time and pissed me off supremely. Had originally intended to stay a week but checked out after 2 days, once my booking.com reservation was over. The $500 they "saved" by "hiring" their nephew to set up the internet was lost this week alone.

Public transport ticket is very useful.

Our deluxe room was facing the town square and a several bars with outside seating. We did not expect that one bar would be open outside past midnight with loud music playing. In all our night was not a restful experience. The receptionist told us that this is not the normal situation for Lörrach Center but that the basic rooms are more quiet facing the rear of the building.
