Hotel berhampiran Place Kleber, Strasbourg

Overall: 6/10 Staff: 9/10 Price: 8/10 Location (to sights): 8/10 Transit: 8/10 Room: 6/10 Common Areas: 6/10 Restaurant/ Bar: 9/10 Vibe (community): n/a Really enjoyed my stay at other hostels from this company and this one should have been just as good but there’s some things i just can’t put aside… First off, the hostel is dirty. Not talking dirt in the bunks (thankfully) but for as new as it seems, the shared spaces are rough. Bathrooms look rough, half the soap and dryers don’t work (not a good thing for hygiene obviously), the showers were always covered in water and hot water, up for debate. Next, the place is loud. Not hostel, a few people are chatting loud and certainly not 8pm, like the room was basically in the bar and the bar was busy (see next item) till after 1. Sure, we could have closed the window to help a bit but with no other airflow in the room, it’s a choice between super loud and hot/stuffy. Loud won. Last off, during my stay, they were hosting an event which meant a ton of people hanging around. Now the event was for a great purpose and that’s awesome and everyone was friendly too but it still meant the bar was basically taken over by locals who knew each other and filled up the community spaces, instead of a traveler or even a general bar vibe. Not a thrilling thing to find out after checking in. All that said, staff was great, super friendly when I checked in and around the place. The bar / restaurant is well done with a nice range of options and decent prices though I didn’t find the breakfast worth the buffet cost. Like the other locations, rooms are nicely done, bunks have good curtains, power, lights, all the makings of a 10/10, but not.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Strasbourg Nord in order to visit the famous Strasbourg Christmas markets. We chose this hotel mainly because it is not in the town centre, it is in a business park in the suburbs, just off the autoroute. This is because we had guessed that getting into a town centre hotel by car and finding somewhere to park would not be easy in the Christmas period, and this proved to be totally correct - when we travelled in to the town centre on the bus later on, the main interchanges were gridlocked. There is a bus stop about 50m from the hotel. It runs very frequently, and gets you into the town centre very easily – bypassing all the traffic because it has its own dedicated lane. You can buy a 24 hour unlimited pass for about 4 euros. The town of Strasbourg is a textbook example of how to do public transport right. We arrived straight off the autoroute, parked easily in the hotel car park, and were welcomed with free Christmas drinks at the bar. If you like mulled wine then you will like Strasbourg in December! It’s everywhere. The room was spacious, with a large comfortable bed, and a view over some lakes on the edge of the business park. However after about 20 minutes in the room we started to feel weirdly cold. Despite fiddling with the heater controls it was impossible to get warmer than 18C, and we suspected the actual temperature was colder (it was near-freezing outside). Next morning on the way to breakfast I noticed a sign in a corner of the lobby mentioning (in French only) a policy of “energy sobriety”. Basically they had turned the heating off to reduce energy consumption. We were impressed with this gesture, we didn’t mind being a degree or two colder in the room. However on our second night it was so cold that they had to bring up an electric heater and a second duvet, which rather defeated the purpose. “Energy sobriety” also explained the weirdly dark bar at the front of the hotel, where you were dimly aware of other people sat at tables but you had to wait a few minutes for your eyes to adjust to the darkness to avoid tripping over them. Again, once we got used to it, it actually created a very pleasant ambiance. The barman attempted to ply me with more mulled wine, but when I refused he turned out to be very knowledgeable on some of the local Alsace beers so I tried them instead. Breakfast was exactly as expected, a good choice of hot eggs and bacon, and a diverse range of continental meats, cheeses, breads, patisseries. Thankfully no mulled wine. A quick shout-out also to the restaurant. It’s not actually a Holiday Inn restaurant, presumably the owners lease the space. We had dinner there one evening after having exhausted ourselves walking around Strasbourg all day. It was not busy (whereas all the restaurants in town were un-bookable). My burger was however one of the best I’ve ever had and Maureen declared her ”well done” steak au poivre was perfectly cooked - to English standards. In summary we are b

Отличное расположение с целью поездок на трамвае во Францию. Удобства по минимуму. В самом номере чисто, но в туалете имеется постоянный неприятный запах. За три ночи проживания уборки ни разу не было (!) Заселили ровно в 15.00, хотя номер был готов раньше. Завтраки без горячего (яйца в крутую), но голодным не останетесь. Завтрак должен подаваться с 6.30 как указано в информационном буклете, однако, в день выезда (30.05) все было закрыто до 7.30 и это был будний день. Имейте ввиду, что ресепшен работает не круглосуточно, как написано на сайте, по крайней мере в день выезда до 8.00 все было наглухо закрыто.

There are a lot of good things one could say about this hotel but unfortunately too many not so good things Good: The whole atmosphere is one of a giant playroom laden with toys and games and happiness. The common areas are modern and airy and young. The reception staff are excellent and helpful and friendly Possibly the two very strong good points in this hotel are across the road - One is the light rail station and the other is McDonald's The bathroom - well equipped and everything works!! Bring conditioner - the shower liquid soap is very strong - good towels The hotel is spotlessly clean There's a great selection of games including table soccer, table shuffle board, darts, board games etc. Bad: Everything provided is the most basic level and in many cases simply does not work. There are two very small very slow elevators - one of them works There is a gym - exercise room. The treadmill is a basic home version which doesn't work. It allows you to warm up and then just cuts out. If left to rest for 10 minutes it gives you another 3 minutes of running. The stationary bicycle has all the lights but doesn't work. You can sit on it and pedal with no resistance - there are no resistance settings The rooms: Tiny! No place to move... No place for your luggage - The entire closet consists of a tiny 20cm wide hanging space which as the pole on the outside edge so that half your garment is hanging outside the 'closet'. No fridge in the room. Paper thin walls. When the tenant in the next-door room closes his door the whole wall, including your bed's backboard, jolts. There are two electric outlets for charging in the entire room. One on the far side of the bed next to the window and another on the shelf next to the TV. If you get the first bed expect to spend a lot of time walking around the cramped room if you have gadgets that need to be charged. Likewise the only switch which controls the main lights in the room are next to the other bed. There's a phone to call reception in the room but guess what ...? So if you need something from reception there's a communal phone at your disposal next to the elevator. Breakfast: Pathetic! There are two coffee machines, one works.....sort of. The coffee takes forever to fill a glass and then is undrinkable. If you really need a hot drink the hot chocolate is at least drinkable.Or you can buy a cup of real coffee in the lobby. If you need something at breakfast, you need to force your way into the kitchen - there's virtually no waiter or service in the dining room. There's also very little food. One morning they put out one!!! baguette! After multiple protests they brought out another. The lunch and dinner food was atrocious - many in our group went directly to McDonalds even though the dining room meals were paid for.

Nous sommes arrivés à 15h30 pour prendre notre chambre pour un durée d’une nuit . Une très bonne accueil. Le prix pour une chambre et 2 lits reste correct. Ne dépassant les 50€. Points négatifs : climatisation ne fonctionne pas Chaleur Quelques poiles Des petites taches sur le lavabo Les points positifs : Matelas confortable Hôtel situé à quelques minutes à pieds de plusieurs magasins comme boulanger, Quick, etc.

We spent Christmas there and the staff was very friendly, made us feel like home. Room were super clean and big enough for the price. I recommend and I’ll go back next time I visit the Christmas market.

It was last minute 10pm due to train strikes on our way to Paris Disneyland from Mannheim. We left at 2pm and so I got off here so the kids could sleep. The check in gentleman (Aladis? with a beard) saw I was so tired with 2 kids alone late at night after a super hectic/stressful day with trains changing schedule then cancelled everywhere. He had a big smile and gummy bears for the kids and gave me a room level 1 opposite the elevator (thus, the fastest to get to). He was quick and kind and it made a huge difference to my day. We left again at 6.30am set to continue on, he was still on shift and had breakfast boxes ready to go. Huge applause for such a great employee (and I was not a super chatty customer simply because I was so tired and stressed, he saw the situation straight away). The hotel itself is super modern and bright and welcoming, the room is again super modern and well designed with a mega comfy bed. I would definitely want to stay here again, under different circumstances! (so do my kids, maybe the gummy bears :) It was also just a 4 minute walk from the train station.

Die Lage ist zentral, um den Europa-Park zu besuchen. Wir haben mit 2 Personen in dem Hotel übernachtet. Das Zimmer war klein, reicht aber zum Übernachten aus. Ablageflächen für Koffer etc. sind leider nicht vorhanden. Wir hatten das Frühstücksbuffet für 8,50€ gebucht und für mich war die Auswahl leider ein bißchen enttäuschend. Ich hatte mehr Auswahl erwartet, aber gut es ging. Was mich aber komplett schockiert hat, ist die Preispolitik von B&B. Ich hatte das Doppelzimmer online auf der Seite von B&B für 102€ gebucht + Frühstück. Vor Ort im Hotel wurde ein Doppelzimmer laut Aushang dann für 72€ angeboten. Das das Hotel online 30€ mehr kostet, finde ich nicht in Ordnung.

Location is near bus station that takes you in few minutes to Europa Park . Hotel also has large enough parking area so you could use car. Rooms are very new and good looking large enough for a 2 day park visit . Price vs quality is phenomenal if we compare to other options in the area. Breakfast is good and served early so you can be at the park at gate opening. Perfect for Europa Park

Personnel accueillant et serviable. Emplacement idéal, proche d'Europa Park et Rulantica. Chambre grande et spacieuse avec un système de climatisation efficace, mais la ventilation de la salle de bain est un peu trop omniprésente. Grand parking gratuit et éclairé.
