– La Jungle –

Hotel Description

Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from a place called “La Jungle” tucked away on Rue des Petites Fermes – I mean, the street name literally translates to “little farms,” which gives you an idea of how this part of Strasbourg feels compared to the touristy center. But you know what? Sometimes the best finds are in these quieter residential pockets, about a 15-minute tram ride from the cathedral madness. The hotel sits in this lovely neighborhood where actual Strasbourgeois live, with proper bakeries and that butcher shop that always has a line (locals know). When I first walked up, the building had this understated charm – nothing flashy, just solid Alsatian architecture that’s been thoughtfully converted.

What really struck me was how the staff actually seemed to care about getting things right. Check-in was smooth, and the guy at reception gave me genuinely useful tips about the area – like which direction to walk to hit the covered market in the morning, or where to catch the tram without dealing with the construction mess near Place Kléber. The rooms are what you’d expect from a solid three-star place, but there’s attention to small details that matter when you’re actually living in the space for a few days. Good lighting for reading, outlets where you need them, and – this is key in Strasbourg’s unpredictable weather – proper heating that you can actually control. I stayed during one of those damp October weeks, and honestly, coming back to a warm room after wandering around the Grande Île all day felt perfect.

The neighborhood thing is really what sets La Jungle apart, though. You’re close enough to walk into the historic center when you want that postcard experience, but you get to retreat to somewhere that feels more… real, I guess? There’s a proper boulangerie two doors down where you can grab morning pastries (the pain aux raisins is excellent), and you’re near enough to the university quarter that there are decent restaurants without tourist prices. Plus, if you’re driving, parking isn’t the nightmare it is closer to the cathedral – though honestly, you probably won’t need your car much once you’re settled in. The tram connections are solid, and half the charm of Strasbourg is just wandering around anyway. It’s the kind of place where you end up having better conversations with locals because you’re not staying in the obvious tourist bubble, and that 8.3 rating makes total sense when you factor in the value and the genuine neighborhood feel.

• Incroyable ! – Marie from China – 15 July 2024 (10/10)

  L'appartement était magnifique et décoré avec soin, le style jungle a fait l'unanimité !
  Tout s'est très bien passé sur l'ensemble du séjour et Maxence a été à l'écoute en plus d'être soucieux de notre confort. Maxence était très accessible, sympa et a donné beaucoup d'informations utiles. Logement parfait pour voyager avec un groupe de 6 à 8 personnes et visiter Strasbourg. Nous étions à coté d'un tramway, qui rejoint l'hyper-centre en quelques minutes. Quartier au calme.
  Le logement était très propre, les instructions pour le check-in et check-out étaient claires et faciles à suivre. Ce fut un excellent séjour. Nous nous y sentirions à nouveau à l'aise lors d'un prochain séjour à Strasbourg.
  
  Je recommande vivement !!
