Hôtel Gutenberg

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be straight with you about Hôtel Gutenberg – it’s one of those places that gets everything right without making a big fuss about it. Tucked away on Rue des Serruriers (which honestly sounds way fancier than it is, but that’s Strasbourg for you), this four-star spot sits in what I’d call the sweet spot of the old town. You know how some hotels feel like they’re trying too hard? This isn’t one of them.

What struck me first was how quiet it actually gets at night, which is pretty remarkable considering you’re basically in the heart of everything. I mean, you’re a five-minute walk from the cathedral – and trust me, you’ll hear those bells during the day – but somehow the hotel itself feels insulated from all the tourist chaos. The building has that solid, old-world feel that makes you forget there’s central air and decent WiFi behind those traditional facades. The staff seemed to genuinely know the neighborhood too, not just the obvious tourist spots. When I asked about where locals actually eat (because honestly, the restaurant scene around the cathedral can be hit or miss), they pointed me toward a couple of winstubs that I never would’ve found otherwise.

Here’s what I really appreciated – the rooms are what you’d expect from a solid four-star, nothing groundbreaking but thoughtfully done. Good lighting for actually reading, outlets where you need them, and the beds are firm enough that you won’t wake up feeling like you slept on a marshmallow. The bathrooms are compact but well-designed, which seems to be the European way of doing things efficiently. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle in this part of town (aren’t cobblestone streets charming until you’re dragging luggage?), but they’ve got arrangements with a nearby garage that takes the stress out of it. What really sold me on the place was the breakfast situation – not some elaborate buffet spectacle, just really good local stuff that changes with what’s actually in season. You can tell when a hotel cares about details like that. The 8.6 rating makes sense to me; it’s the kind of place that does the fundamentals really well without any gimmicks, and in a city like Strasbourg where you’re mainly out exploring anyway, that’s exactly what you want. Plus, you’re positioned perfectly for both the French and German sides of the city’s personality, which honestly is the whole point of being here in the first place.

Apartments in Strasbourg provide travelers with an authentic local experience, allowing them to shop at traditional markets and cook with fresh ingredients from the renowned Alsatian culinary traditions.

• Highly recommended – Raphael from Switzerland – 13 July 2025 (10/10)

  Amazing location, extremely friendly and welcoming staff, great value for the money and we even got a free upgrade. Rooms are simple but have everything you need. We found the beds very comfortable, but a bit short for me (1.86cm). We would definitely come back again!

  Perfect location to the city center. The staff was very nice. They kept our bags after checkout so we could shop and explore a little more. Lovely city!
  
  What could be improved: Very small bathroom and had a little trouble with the number and location of outlets.

• Great Central Located Hotel – Peter from Australia – 28 June 2025 (10/10)

  Comfortable hotel in a central location

• A beautiful stay in the hearth of Strasbourg – Gianmarco from Italy – 22 June 2025 (9/10)

  A well curated hotel steps away from the main square of Strasbourg, everything is within walking distance. The room was nice and modern although the AC unit was a bit noisy especially during the night. The view from the window was very nice.
  
  What could be improved: No on-site parking available but there are many 24h parking places within 10mins by foot

• Great hotel in perfect location. – Trudi from United Kingdom – 22 June 2025 (10/10)

  We stayed 3 nights here. It is in a perfect location, 15 mins walk from the station, close to tram stop, very near the cathedral and a short walk to Petite France. We upgraded to a Deluxe room which was light and spacious with windows overlooking the street. Great soundproofing and a wonderful large shower. The breakfast was included in our stay and had a huge variety – pastries, cold meats, cheese, eggs, jams, cereals, breads and of course a selection of teas and coffee. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.
