Hotel Description
Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw the name “2 pièces cathédrale proche des quais,” I thought it was going to be one of those generic apartment rentals that sounds better in French than it actually is. But walking up to 3 Rue de la 1ère Armée, I was actually pretty impressed. The building has that classic Strasbourg charm without trying too hard, you know? And that 9.4 rating? Yeah, I get it now.
The location is what really got me. I mean, you’re literally a few minutes’ walk from the cathedral – and I’m talking about the kind of walk where you’re not dodging tourist crowds because you’re coming from a side street most people don’t know about. The quais along the Ill River are right there too, which honestly makes for perfect evening strolls when the light hits the water just right. What I didn’t expect was how quiet it stays at night, even though you’re so central. The street itself is pretty residential, so you’re not dealing with late-night bar noise or constant traffic like you would closer to Place Kléber.
The apartment itself feels bigger than typical Strasbourg places – those two rooms actually give you space to spread out, which is rare in the old town area. The cathedral views aren’t from every window (let’s be realistic here), but when you do catch glimpses of those Gothic spires between buildings, it’s pretty magical. Check-in was surprisingly smooth too – none of that awkward key-pickup-at-a-random-café situation you sometimes get with these independent places. What really sold me though was the morning routine: grabbing coffee from that little boulangerie on Rue du Dôme (about a three-minute walk), then wandering down to the quais with fresh croissants. You start to feel like a local pretty quickly, especially when you figure out the shortcut through Place du Château that cuts your walk to Petite France in half.
The only thing I’d mention – and this is minor – is that August gets pretty busy with tourists, so the nearby streets can feel a bit crowded during peak hours. But honestly, by evening when everyone’s headed back to their tour buses, you’ve got this perfect pocket of Strasbourg almost to yourself. The value here is solid too, especially considering you’re getting authentic old-town living without paying cathedral-view premium prices. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to extend your stay, maybe pick up some groceries at Monoprix and pretend you actually live in Strasbourg for a while.

I had a wonderful stay at this charming 2-room apartment near the Strasbourg Cathedral and the riverfront. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of the old town, just a few steps from the cathedral, shops, restaurants, and the picturesque quais. The apartment was clean, well-equipped, and tastefully decorated, making it feel cozy and welcoming. Communication with the host was smooth and friendly, and check-in was easy. Despite being so central, the apartment was quiet and comfortable. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to experience the true atmosphere of Strasbourg!

What could be improved: A água não aquecia muito nem tinha pressão, não entendemos se foi um problema momentaneo mas como estava calor não teve muito impacto.
