“Fantastic friendly hotel in the middle of this beautiful small city, Xmas Markets”
Fantastic friendly hotel right in the middle of this beautiful small city. Our room on the 4th floor over looked roof tops of Strasbourg and we could see the cathedral, very clean very warm and very comfortable. All the staff were smiling, approachable, efficient and entered the spirit of our Christmas market trip. The city is small and compact and all area’s can be easily walked, there is a tram service but only covers the main streets while the interesting sights are down all the small streets and alleyways.
When arriving get the Train from the airport to the Station in Strasbourg and it’s an easy 10 min walk to the Hotel.
Strasbourg is not easy to get to as we flew via Amsterdam but this means there a no chavs from low budget airlines, all in all the place while slightly expensive has a class civilised atmosphere unspoilt by the “ Benidorm he we go here go crew”.
Visit Notre Dam Cathedral and climb t the top. The Astronomical Clock while great to see and appreciate didn’t live up to the hype at the 12.30 show.
Petite France is a must to visit with lovely romantic cosy restaurants serving homely local food great wine and fantastic beer..
The personal audio tour which you get from the Tourist information centre at the Cathedral is a must, it cost 5.50 Euro and takes 1.5 hours. It takes longer if you stop of for lunch, pastries and/or coffees
Great Xmas markets al over the city
The 12 Apostils Bar next to Cathedral serves fantastic beer from the menu at the table, take a seat and wait to place your order.
On an extended visit take the train [ 30 mins ] to Colmar which is a picture post card typical Alsace town, its well work the journey as the views from the efficient train service are wonderful
Room Tip: Ask for the better rooms with views on the 4th Floors over looking the roof top and city
