Comfortable rooms
As you enter your room, you are welcomed by the relaxing comfort and elegance. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and a flat-screen TV. The furnishings are chic with a modern twist. Besides other amenities, guests can enjoy Nespresso coffee, kettle, Clarins toiletries, bathrobes and slippers, nicely stocked minibar and elegant marble bathroom. Those who prefer a soft mattress will be happy. Fluffy duvet, a choice of pillows and quality bedding are on par with the 4 stars. The electric shutters and double window drapes ensure you’ll sleep in a dark and quiet room. You’ll appreciate the outer window shutters early in the morning when you want to sleep-in. They block out all the noise from the street below, especially the passing trams.
The elaborate light system in the room will require a bit of figuring out in order to achieve the desired amount of light.
A nice touch that pampers the guests is a turn down service. When you come back to your room from a busy day of local explorations, your room is ready for the night. The bed is waiting for you with the bathrobe and a body lotion bottle on it. Slippers by the bed, shutters and blackout curtains down, glass and a bottle of water on the nightstand. The guests are well taken care of.

I visited Strasbourg a few months ago and fell in love with this charming French town. It’s good to know of this elegant hotel. I enjoyed reading your review!
I love staying in boutique hotels, and this one looks like it has a lot of personality and charm – the addition of a Nespresso machine in the room is a distinct plus. Even though you end up exploring a city and not staying in your room very long, it’s still so important to have a place you look forward to going back to at the end of the day.
Strasbourg has been on my bucket list a while and I love staying in boutique hotels. Have a big birthday coming up, this could be the answer to what to get – thank you!
