Appartement Vue Canal

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first climbed up to the fourth floor of this narrow building on Rue du Bassin d’Austerlitz, I was questioning my booking choice. But the second you step into Appartement Vue Canal, that mild cardio workout becomes totally worth it. The canal views from those windows? They’re exactly what you picture when you think of Strasbourg, with the old timber-framed houses reflecting in the water and locals walking their dogs along the towpath in the early morning.

The apartment itself feels like someone’s actual home rather than a sterile hotel room, which honestly makes all the difference. There’s this lived-in quality – I mean, the furniture isn’t matching perfectly, and the kitchen has that slightly worn charm where you can tell people have actually cooked real meals here. You know what surprised me most? How quiet it gets at night, considering you’re right in the city center. The canal seems to buffer a lot of the street noise, though you’ll definitely hear the occasional cyclist on the path below (not a bad thing, just real life). The 9.2 rating makes total sense once you settle in – it’s one of those places where the little details add up. Like how they actually provide decent coffee, not those terrible instant packets, and there’s proper lighting for reading, which sounds basic but you’d be amazed how many places get that wrong.

Location-wise, you’re maybe a ten-minute walk to Petite France if you take the scenic route along the water, or you can cut through the streets and be there in seven. The tram stop at Broglie isn’t far either, though honestly, most of what you’ll want to see is walkable from here. I found myself using that little Monoprix on nearby streets more than I expected – perfect for grabbing wine and cheese for evening picnics by the canal. One thing to note: there’s no elevator (hence the fourth-floor climb), and parking can be tricky if you’re driving. But the host was really helpful with local parking tips, and check-in was refreshingly straightforward. For a three-star place, it punches way above its weight because it feels authentic rather than trying too hard. Sometimes you just want a genuine slice of Strasbourg life, complete with canal views and the sound of boats puttering by – and that’s exactly what you get here.

Early hotels booking in Strasbourg is essential during major events like the Christmas Market, as accommodations fill up quickly with visitors eager to experience the city’s renowned festive atmosphere and Gothic architecture.

• Straßburg, Europaparlament, Wohnung – ein gelungener Kurzurlaub! – Elfriede from Germany – 22 April 2025 (10/10)

  Die tolle Wohnung hat uns alles geboten, was für einen Kurzurlaub mit Enkelkindern wichtig ist: Zwei schöne ruhige Schlafzimmer, ein großzügiger Wohnbereich mit gut eingerichteter Küche. Nicht nur bei schlechtem Wetter einen gemütlicher Wohnbereich mit einem großen Fernseher( Netflix) und Sitzgelegenheit auf dem Balkon.
  Das Stadtzentrum ist in ca. 10 – 15 Minuten auch fußläufig zu erreichen. Die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel sind in der Nähe.
  
  What could be improved: Es empfiehlt sich im Vorfeld rechtzeitig Kontakt mit dem Vermieter aufzunehmen, um die Informationen zu bekommen, wie man direkt vor dem Haus parken kann. Denn es handelt sich um eine Zone, die man nur Berechtigte befahren können.
