Appartement sur les bords de l’Ill

Hotel Description

Okay, so I stumbled across this apartment rental on Rue des Carolingiens last spring, and honestly? It completely changed how I think about staying in Strasbourg. You know how most people just book something near the cathedral and call it a day – well, this place sits right along the Ill River, and I mean literally right there. You wake up to water views instead of tourist crowds, which is pretty fantastic.

The thing about staying in this neighborhood is that you’re actually living like locals do. There’s this little bakery about two minutes away where the woman behind the counter started recognizing me after day two (always a good sign), and you can walk along the riverbank to get pretty much anywhere you want to go. The apartment itself feels properly Alsatian – those tall windows, original moldings, the works – but someone clearly put thought into making it comfortable for travelers. The kitchen actually has everything you need, not just the bare minimum, and the bathroom has one of those rainfall showerheads that makes you not want to leave. I mean, small details, but they add up.

What really sold me on the place was discovering that evening routine along the water. Around sunset, you’ll see people walking their dogs, couples sharing wine on the little benches, maybe some students from the university heading home. It’s this whole scene that unfolds right outside your window, and you feel connected to the city’s rhythm instead of trapped in some sterile hotel bubble. The trams are close enough to be convenient but far enough that you’re not dealing with constant noise – though honestly, the sound of the river is pretty soothing anyway. Parking was surprisingly manageable too; there’s street parking that doesn’t require a PhD in French parking regulations to figure out. Just make sure you’re not there during the Christmas market season unless you enjoy crowds – the whole area gets absolutely packed, but in a charming way if that’s your thing. With a 9.6 rating, I wasn’t the only one who felt like they’d found something special here.

Travelers should reserve a hotel in Strasbourg at least two months ahead of their visit to ensure availability and secure better rates, especially during the peak December season when the city hosts its world-famous Christmas celebrations.

• Exceptional – Nailia from Malta – 11 December 2024 (10/10)

  Very positive impressions from appartment! We lived there for a week with my husband and felt like at home. Wonderful apartment, perfectly clean, comfortable and spacious. Equipped with everything you need for living, including nice little things like a coffee machine, beautiful dishes, wine glasses, really anything for cooking, all shower accessories, etc. Very comfortable mattress, cozy bedroom, we slept well – quietly and calmly. The interior of the apartment has many details that were thought out with love and create coziness, multi-level lighting – from intimate to bright. There are two balconies, from one you can see the sunrise, from the other the sunset. Quiet area, lots of greenery, you can walk along the river (very nice promenade, good for jogging as well) and in 15 minutes you will reach the Museum of Contemporary Art and Petit France, or take a few stops by bus to the center. The owner of the apartment is very responsive, always in touch and ready to help. I forgot my new AirPods in the flat, because we had an early train to Paris and I was a bit sleepy, and the owner immediately sent them to me by post to my home to Malta. It was very nice! I highly recommend the apartment!

  Le logement se trouve dans un quartier calme et agréable. Les locaux sont parfaitement propres, très confortable, spacieux et lumineux.
  
  Proche d’une piste cyclable et du bus qui permet un accès rapide au centre de Strasbourg.
