Appartement moderne au centre ville

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw “Appartement moderne au centre ville” listed on Rue de l’Elbe, I wasn’t expecting much. The name’s pretty generic, and let’s face it, a lot of these city center apartments can be hit or miss. But you know what? This place actually surprised me in the best way possible.

The location is genuinely fantastic – I mean, you’re literally a five-minute walk from Place Kléber, which is basically Strasbourg’s beating heart. What really sold me though was how quiet it stays despite being so central. Rue de l’Elbe is one of those side streets that locals use as shortcuts, so you get that authentic neighborhood vibe without the tourist chaos. The tram stop at Langstross – Grand’Rue is right there, which honestly makes getting to the European Quarter or even out to the airport pretty painless. And if you’re into the whole Petite France thing (which, come on, who isn’t?), it’s maybe a ten-minute stroll through some really lovely streets.

The apartment itself lives up to the “moderne” promise – clean lines, decent WiFi that actually works, and a kitchen that’s small but functional if you want to grab groceries at the Monoprix nearby instead of eating out every meal. The bathroom’s compact but well-designed, though I should mention the shower pressure isn’t amazing – not terrible, just don’t expect a spa experience. What I really appreciated were the little touches: good blackout curtains (essential if you’re jet-lagged), enough outlets for all your devices, and storage space that doesn’t require Tetris skills to use. The building itself is typical Strasbourg – that mix of old charm with updated interiors that the city does so well.

Now, it’s a solid 3-star place with a 7.6 rating, which feels about right. It’s not going to blow you away, but it won’t disappoint either. The value is definitely there – you’re paying for that location and the fact that everything works as it should. I stayed during Christmas market season (which is absolutely insane in Strasbourg, by the way), and while the streets got pretty crowded during the day, the apartment stayed surprisingly peaceful in the evenings. Check-in was smooth, though it’s one of those keycode situations rather than a traditional front desk – just make sure you save those instructions in your phone because finding the right entrance at night can be a bit tricky. If you’re someone who needs a lot of hand-holding or room service, this isn’t your spot. But if you want a clean, well-located base for exploring one of France’s most beautiful cities without paying premium hotel prices, it’s actually a pretty smart choice.

Reviews

• Would definitely stay again! – Kim from United States – 26 June 2024 (8/10)

  The apartment manager was incredibly helpful and super prompt with his responses. The apartment was spacious and clean. Each of us had our own bedroom, which was great.
  
  What could be improved: The queen size bed is not as comfortable as the other two which would be my only complaint. Also would have loved air conditioning on some of these 80° days but I know that’s just a French thing.

• Superb – Iryna from Switzerland – 20 December 2023 (9/10)

  It was really easy to find the place where the key was hidden. It was a really comfortable apartment and we had everything that we needed for the Family. We were staying with the small children. It was clean, with a big dinner table for everybody, and a lot of space in the Bathroom and toilet. It was clean (no dust under the Table or Bed and no dust on the plants). The supermarket and the Bakery are just 1 min walk from the apartment. The Tram station is just a 3-minute walk from the apartment. We enjoy staying there. I read the comments about this Flat and I think the person who booked this apartment and got the wrong address just booked another Apartment, because there are two of them, almost with the same name. I highly recommend this apartment.

• Apartament in new area of Strasbourg – Roxana from Denmark – 11 July 2024 (8/10)

  The apartment is light and nice
  
  What could be improved: The apartment is not that clean…

• Exceptional – Angelika from France – 11 April 2024 (10/10)

  The flat is nice and big and has everything you might need during a holiday. Ale gave us all the instructions on how to get to the place and in and was really helpful in answering all the questions we had. 🙂

• Passable – Katarzyna from Poland – 23 June 2025 (5/10)

  Good size of the appartment
  
  What could be improved: This appartment could be quite loveley if only it were cleaner, less cluttered, if the towels/ bed linen were less worn out, and if there was no lingering smell of cigarettes…

• Decent location and flat but complicated entry and basic facilities inside and early check-out – Pari from United Kingdom – 25 April 2024 (6/10)

  The host was friendly and reachable by phone. The flat was spacious and clean, relatively modern, and the beddings were clean too. The location was good, right next to a tram stop.
  
  What could be improved: The key lock was far away from the flat and the key was totally unnecessary, as everything opened with codes! There were far too many codes involved, which necessitated a couple of phone calls with the host, as not all of them were given in advance. The flat was missing basic items, such as a light in the kitchen to enable cooking, beddings and duvet for another double bed, a mirror and a towel holder in the bathroom, a shower curtain, a rug for the shower, a toilet bin for the shower room, shutters for one of the 3 bedrooms (which ended up being super bright). We did NOT appreciate being rushed out at 10am by the cleaner on a Sunday even though check-out was at 11am.

• Don’t come. – Mor from Slovakia – 14 April 2025 (1/10)

  Worst experience

• Poor – Nasr from United Arab Emirates – 6 December 2024 (3/10)

  What could be improved: Our stay at this property was unfortunately disappointing due to several major issues:
  
  Delayed Check-in Instructions: We received the check-in instructions only 3 minutes before the scheduled time, leaving us stranded at the station, anxious and unsure of what to do.
  
  Inconvenient Key Collection: The instructions required us to walk 15 minutes with our luggage to collect the main door keys, only to walk 15 minutes back to the property. This was unnecessarily inconvenient.
  
  Poor Bathroom Setup: The shower lacked any curtains, which made using it uncomfortable and messy.
  Uncomfortable Amenities: The pillows were far from comfortable, making it difficult to sleep well.
  Lack of Cleanliness: The place was not properly cleaned after the previous guests, which was very disappointing.
  
  Unreasonable Check-in/Check-out Times: With check-in at 5 PM and check-out at 10 AM, it’s hard to justify the 7-hour cleaning window, especially considering the cleanliness issues we experienced.
  
  Deposit and Scamming Practices: The host required an €800 deposit through an external link outside of Airbnb. On top of that, they tried to charge €1000 for alleged "damage" based on vague photos of two white lines on the parquet. They also attempted to claim money from the deposit platform. This felt like a scam and left a very negative impression.
  
  Overall, this was one of the most stressful and disappointing stays I’ve had on Airbnb. I strongly recommend addressing these issues to ensure a better experience for future guests.

• An ideal accommodation for a trip away with friends. – Anonymous from Ireland – 10 July 2023 (8/10)

  It was very spacious with a lovely outdoor area, as well as a good location.
  
  What could be improved: The only thing we did not like was some confusion with finding the key to enter initially, as there was a mistake in the instructions, but other than that we liked everything.

• Logement agréable pour 6 personnes mais le procédure de remise des clés est à revoir. – Patricia from France – 9 May 2025 (7/10)

  L'emplacement près du tramway. La luminosité et l'organisation confortable de l'appartement.
  
  What could be improved: La gestion des clés a été problématique. L'arrivée dans le logement est prévue à 17h, ce qui est tardif. À ma demande insistante, il a été accepté une entrée dans l'appartement entre 15h et 15h30.
  Mais il a fallu que je récupère un badge d'accès à l'immeuble en plein centre-ville, inaccessible en voiture. L'utilisation d'un code sur une serrure minuscule sans lumière dans le couloir est très mal pratique. En outre, le code avait été mal programmé, de sorte que le deuxième jours, les occupants du logement se sont retrouvés à la porte du logement, sans pouvoir y pénétrer pendant environ une heure.
