Aux bons amis – Parlement/Orangerie Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to Aux bons amis – Parlement/Orangerie, you immediately sense this isn’t your typical four-star hotel. The name translates to “good friends,” and honestly, that’s exactly the vibe they’re going for here. It’s tucked into a charming corner of Strasbourg’s historic center, where the building itself feels like it’s been part of the neighborhood conversation for decades. The entrance has that understated French elegance — not flashy, but you know you’re somewhere special. Every detail whispers refined taste without demanding attention.
Location & Neighborhood
Here’s what I love about this spot — you’re literally steps from both the European Parliament district and the beautiful Parc de l’Orangerie. Couples rate this location incredibly highly (and I can see why), because you can stroll to the park for a romantic walk, then wander back through streets lined with those gorgeous Alsatian timber-framed houses. The Petite France district is an easy walk, and you’re close enough to the cathedral that you’ll hear the bells — but far enough away to avoid the tourist crowds that swarm the main squares during peak season. The neighborhood pulses with authentic local life, from morning café culture to evening aperitifs on quiet terraces.
The Rooms
The accommodations strike that perfect balance between modern comfort and local character. The attention to detail in the room design feels distinctly Strasbourg without being kitschy about it. The beds are genuinely comfortable (not just hotel-marketing comfortable), and the bathrooms are well-appointed without trying too hard to be trendy. Some rooms offer glimpses of the neighborhood’s rooftops, which honestly beats a generic city view any day. Thoughtful touches throughout — from the linens to the lighting — suggest a property that actually cares about how guests experience their stay.
Service & Atmosphere
The staff here actually lives up to that “good friends” concept — they’re helpful without being hovering, knowledgeable about the area without being pushy with recommendations. It’s a smaller property, so you’re not just another room number, but it’s not so intimate that you feel like you’re staying in someone’s living room. The common areas have this relaxed, refined atmosphere where you might actually want to sit and plan your day rather than just rush through to get outside. Conversations flow naturally, and the overall energy feels genuinely welcoming.
Why Guests Love It
What really sets this place apart is how it captures the essence of Strasbourg without trying too hard. You’re staying in a neighborhood where locals actually live and work, not just a tourist bubble. The combination of that prime location (seriously, recent guests rated it 8.4 out of 10 for location) and the genuine hospitality creates something pretty special. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find yourself taking a slightly longer route back just to soak in more of the surrounding streets — and isn’t that exactly what you want from a Strasbourg experience? This hotel delivers on the promise of authentic connection to place and people.
Strasbourg hotels range from charming boutique properties in the historic Petite France district to elegant converted mansions and modern accommodations near the European Parliament.

Reviews of Aux bons amis – Parlement/Orangerie
Pas très bien mais pas très mauvais – Achak from France – 22 April 2025 (8/10)
J'aime bien l'emplacement et la tranquillité dans cette quartier
What could be improved: Il n'y'a pas de couverture sauf une seule couette et j'ai demandé un lit bébé 2 fois mais ils ne me donnent pas du coup j'étais obligé de mettre mon bébé à côté de moi sur le lit et j'ai mis des chaises à côté pour qu'elle ne tombe pas du lit.Très bon séjour malgré ces deux commentaires. Appartement agréable. – Anne from France – 30 April 2024 (7/10)
Très bien situé, quartier très beau, très calme
What could be improved: Vaisselle pas conforme pour cuisiner, mais lorsque nous l'avons signalé, réponse rapide avec remerciements pour rectifier pour les suivants.
Douche peu pratique avec la porte de la cabine fermant mal, provoquant un sol mouillé.Excellent séjour, avec des transports à proximité. Nous avons pleinement profité du Marché de NoëlL – Bernard from France – 22 December 2023 (8/10)
Agréable attention que d'avoir des dosettes pour le 1er jour.
Bonne literie générale, très bonne température à l'arrivée.
What could be improved: Le manque d'insonorisation avec le voisinage et l'extérieur.
Penser à refaire les joints de la porte de douche, car la salle de bains est vide trempée!!Pleasant – Ciro from Italy – 20 December 2023 (6/10)
What could be improved: Poca disponibilità del gestore .Non è stato possibile accedere all'appartamento prima delle ore 15,00 nonostante la stanchezza del viaggio e la pioggia
Appartement agréable qui mériterait un peu d’entretien. – France from France – 13 November 2023 (7/10)
Appartement dans un quartier très calme.
Grande chambre et canapé lit confortable dans le salon.
Bien équipé en vaisselle.
What could be improved: La télécommande du volet électrique était cassée dans la chambre. Le volet est donc resté fermé tout notre séjour.
L’appartement était globalement propre mais il y avait des résidus (de tisane ?) dans la bouilloire et qui devaient être là depuis longtemps ! Couvercle de la bouilloire cassée.
Une de nos serviettes avait d’énormes trous.
La porte de la salle de bain très difficile à fermer.
Sac de rangement des draps du canapé lit déchiréGood space, nice location, minimum attention to details though – Francesca from United Kingdom – 24 April 2023 (7/10)
I liked the location and it being on the ground floor. I liked the bedroom too and the lounge that were more spacious than others I had been to in the past.
What could be improved: There was an egg on the kitchen top, the dishwasher had two unclean glasses inside (which I left) and some cleaning products were left sparsely around, as if someone had hastily cleaned without tiding up.good location, easy acess but poor facilities – Nadine from France – 3 March 2023 (5/10)
the location
What could be improved: the beds! the platform for communicsting sophisticated and at the end the wifi in the apart didn’t work… and we were supposed to send photo for the checking process! you phone to the company they couldn’t hear me because of the wifi..! ridiculous. a lit of things broken as the door of the bathroom…Agréable – Fabienne from France – 22 December 2022 (6/10)
Les consignes n étaient pas très claires.
What could be improved: Difficile de disposer des clés et le code ne fonctionne pas pour notre départ. Une personne masculine au téléphone pas très agréable et un technicien devait nous contacter..10h après. On attend toujoursExceptional – Laurentiu from Romania – 26 November 2022 (10/10)
Very nice appartment, very quiet and a very nice location, an excellent choice to explore the wonderful Strasbourg.
Du potentiel mais séjour plutôt très moyen au vu des problèmes rencontrés – Sébastien from France – 6 November 2022 (6/10)
L'emplacement, la literie, la propreté.
Le système de réservation avec un site dédié compilant toutes les informations pour prendre son logement.
What could be improved: -Le volet du salon qui ne marchait pas… alors qu'on est au rez-de-chaussée.
-Un sejour difficile car une chaleur trop importante : le chauffage marchait même éteint, mais impossible de laisser la fenêtre ouverte avec le volet qui ne marchait pas, je rappelle qu'on est au rez-de-chaussée.
– la lumière trop faible dans le séjour (il suffit de changer l'ampoule)
Conclusion: ce sont peut-être des problèmes ponctuels ou pas de chance, mais cela n'avait pas été vu avant et à 140 euros la nuit, on peut être un peu exigeant.
