Hypercentre Strasbourg Vue Cathédrale

Hotel Description

You know what hits you first when you walk into this place? The fact that you’re literally staring up at Strasbourg Cathedral from your window – and I mean really staring, not that “partial view if you crane your neck” nonsense most hotels pull. The Hypercentre Strasbourg Vue Cathédrale sits right on Rue du Vieux Marché aux Grains, which honestly sounds fancier than it looks (it’s the old grain market street, if you’re curious), but the location is absolutely perfect for getting around the old town on foot.

I’ll be straight with you – this is a 3-star place that punches way above its weight. The building itself has that classic Alsatian charm you’d expect in this part of Strasbourg, and being on the second floor means you skip the street noise but still feel connected to everything happening below. The rooms aren’t huge, but they’re thoughtfully laid out, and the cathedral views make up for any space constraints. What really impressed me was how quiet it gets at night, considering you’re smack in the middle of everything. I mean, you’re a two-minute walk from Place Kléber and maybe five minutes from Petite France – try finding parking in this area and you’ll appreciate just stepping out the front door.

The staff actually knows the neighborhood, which sounds basic but isn’t always a given. They’ll tell you which boulangerie opens earliest (it’s the one on Rue des Grandes Arcades, by the way) and when the cathedral crowds thin out. Check-in was smooth, though I’d recommend arriving after 3 PM since the building entrance can be a bit tricky to spot if you’re dragging luggage around during the lunch rush. The rooms have this mix of modern touches and old-world character that feels authentic rather than forced – think exposed beams and updated bathrooms that actually work well together. Honestly, the 9-point rating makes sense when you factor in the location, the views, and the fact that everything just works without any fuss. Sure, you won’t find a spa or room service, but when you can walk to some of the best winstubs in Alsace and be back in your room overlooking one of Europe’s most stunning cathedrals in under ten minutes, those extras seem pretty unnecessary.
