Hotel Cathédrale

I had the pleasure to stay in this hotel for a week (half business, half holiday so I wasn’t in the hotel a lot). +) It’s a unique hotel right in front of the cathedral and I booked a room with a great view (and I‘d recommend to do so, since the rooms on the inside appear to only have windows pointed inside the hotel). The service was good, a big thank you to the receptionist Val that helped me with an easy check-in and lots of extra-infos. -) Be aware that the building is a bit old and some may have a problem with that (I found it charming and clean, still). The hotel bar appeared to be closed (never saw anyone there) but there’s plenty of alternatives in the city in an easily walkable distance. The breakfast offered the basics, but not a lot more and the hotel itself has many corners and is a bit of a labyrinth, until one gets used to it. All in all, it was a 4/5 hotel experience but the kind help of the receptionists really upgraded the situation!

Amazing location right across from Strasbourg Cathedral — couldn’t ask for better! Room was small but clean and comfy.

The hotel has an excellent location, which is the only thing that truly deserves five stars. However, the rooms are quite small and when we arrived, they were not heated. They should also make sure to always have hot water in the bathroom. For all hotel breakfast lovers, eggs were not served—instead, there was just a bowl of raw eggs that you could put into boiling water and cook yourself as you wish. However, there were no scrambled eggs or fried eggs. The breakfast was very poor and had to be paid for separately, so I wouldn’t recommend it. There are several small restaurants nearby that offer breakfast, so it might be a better idea to spend your money there rather than eating at the hotel. All things considered, this hotel is actually a three-star, definitely not a four-star.
