Cons:

When I come to the hotel I found the door open widely which is not very convenient for security reasons. I believe the cleaning lady forgot the towels and forgot to close the door when I call the reception he did not gone to check upstairs but he should have done this. I took the photos and showed then in the morning.

Pros:

La habitacion un poco pequeńa pero comoda el inconveniente es que el ascensor comienza desde el primer piso y no desde la recepcion por eso tuvimos problemas y cuesta subir las valijas ese piso .ubicacion excelenteee!!! Frente a la catedral y desayuno buenisimo. La ubicacion es lo mas bueno de ese hotel

Cons:

El problema del ascensor que no sale desde recepcion hay que subir con valijas pesadas al primer piso escalera media acaracolada y por supuesto bajarla despues para una persona mayor o con discapacidad no puede ir al hotel escalera media acaracolada subir siempre al primer piso para tomar el ascensor,las campanas de la catedral se escuchan todo el tiempo y a veces cuesta dormir

Charmerende hotell midt i «smørøyet».
Pros:

Frokosten var bra. Beliggenheten strålende.

Cons:

For bevegelseshemmet var trappen opp til heisen med tung koffert en prøvelse.

Pros:

The position is perfect, in front of the Cathedral. The staff is nice and helpful, the room is clean.

Cons:

The only issue was that my room had an internal window, therefore there was no possibility to directly open it to the exterior.

Que demander de plus quand on sort en face de la Cathédrale
Pros:

Il est très agréable de se situer au centre ville, nous n'avons pas eu de bruits. Mais le grand plus, c'est de se trouver face à la magnifique Cathédrale en sortant. Hôtel parfait pour les amoureux de Strasbourg.

Wouldn’t recommend
Pros:

Good location near the cathedral. Rooms were clean. Staff were okay

Cons:

They have tea bags in the room but no milk. Infact no milk in the hotel. A bit hard to believe that the reception could not give me a little milk to make my tea in the morning when they have a restaurant in the hotel!! They have an elevator but you still have to climb up about 30 steps to get to it. Definitely overpriced.

Toller Aufenthalt in einem mehr als stimmungsvollen Hotel - schade, dass es nur für eine Nacht war..
Pros:

Lage einzigartig, direkt an der Kathedrale. Innen leicht angestaubter hoher Komfort. Früshtück naja - eben französisch, aber mit Blick auf die Kathedrale. Insgesamt hat es mir super gut gefallen!

Cons:

Das Frühstück
