Hotel Description
You know what struck me first about this place? The name actually lives up to the reality – Chaleureux & Lumineux really is warm and bright, which honestly isn’t always a given with Strasbourg apartments during those gray Alsatian winters. I mean, when you’re tucked away on Rue du Faubourg-National, you’re getting that perfect sweet spot where you’re close enough to everything but not dealing with the tourist chaos around the cathedral.
The location is what really sold me on this T3 setup. You’re basically a ten-minute walk from Petite France (though let’s be real, everyone does that walk anyway), but more importantly, you’re right in the thick of where actual Strasbourgeois live and work. There’s this great boulangerie literally around the corner that locals queue up at every morning – you’ll smell the croissants from the apartment windows, which is either wonderful or torture depending on your willpower. The tram connections are solid too; you can hop on and be at the European Parliament or the train station without any fuss. Parking’s actually manageable in this neighborhood, unlike the old town where you’re circling for ages.
What I really appreciate about staying here is how the space feels genuinely lived-in rather than sterile. The light comes streaming through these big windows that face the right direction – you get that lovely afternoon glow that makes you want to settle in with a bottle of Riesling from the Monoprix down the street. The kitchen’s properly equipped too, not just the usual two plates and a broken coffee maker situation. I ended up cooking quite a bit because the local markets are incredible, and there’s something satisfying about preparing Munster cheese and fresh bread in an actual functional space. The 8.5 rating makes sense when you factor in little touches like decent WiFi (crucial for remote work), enough electrical outlets where you need them, and – this might sound minor but it matters – really good water pressure in the shower. The neighborhood gets pleasantly quiet in the evenings, though you’ll hear the occasional tram rumbling by, which I found oddly comforting rather than disruptive. Honestly, if you’re looking for something that feels more like temporarily living in Strasbourg rather than just visiting, this hits that mark perfectly.
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.

Carino e ben posizionato, host super disponibile – Stefania from Italy – 28 April 2025 (7/10)
L’host gentilissimo è sempre disponibile, appartamento recentemente ristrutturato nel cuore di Strasburgo, posizione ottima. Ben accessoriato e luminoso.
What could be improved: Consiglio l’appartamento per un max di 4 persone, noi eravamo in 5 ma c’erano 4 sedie, in caso si volesse mangiare o fare colazione in loco insieme non è così comodo. Persiane vecchie e rovinate entra tantissima luce la notte causa lampioni e non c’è modo di oscurare le camere. In bagno c’è solo la vasca e non sempre arriva acqua calda.Otroligt fin stadskärna som man har superbra access till från lägenheten, utan att bo mitt i den – Anonymous from Sweden – 3 July 2025 (8/10)
Vi fick ett välkomstmeddelande av värden, som inkluderade en pedagogisk instruktionsvideo på hur jag skulle få tag på nyckeln, vilket var mycket uppskattat. Efter att vi blivit insläppta på distans genom porten, så ringde de upp för att försäkra sig om att vi kommit in, så jag upplever att värden verkar vara mycket mån om sina gäster.
Lägenheten i sig hade ett ok läge, med bara ett stenkast från den gamla delen av staden, det turistiga. Men själva området som lägenheten låg i verkade tillsynes vara lite mer som en plats där folk, 90% män, bara drev omkring, men å andra sidan så tror jag inte att jag hörde en enda siren från polis under hela vistelsen på 2 dagar i området, tillskillnad från Stockholm som jag kommer ifrån där det är sirener lite nu och då, så det är nog mer jag som inte är van med den typen av drivande.
Värden hade ställt fram en flaska vatten till oss när vi kom och sådana detaljer uppskattas mycket, när man kommer från en lång resa och är trött. Däremot så fanns inget annat, som kaffe till kaffemaskinen eller te osv.
Lägenheten i sig var väldigt fin och fräsch och jag har inga invändningar på den.
What could be improved: Lite märklig planlösning, med dörrar som inte går att öppna helt och som fastnar mot golvet, samt ett fönster som tar i en bänkskiva och därför inte går att öppna ordentligt. Det är dock inget som påverkar helhetsupplevelsen negativt, bara något man reagerar på som lite märkligt.Good – Trupti from United Kingdom – 13 July 2025 (7/10)
