Le Petit Break – Strasbourg Gare – Petite France – Commerces à Proximité

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Le Petit Break? The name actually makes sense once you’re there – it really does feel like stumbling into this perfect little pause from the city chaos. I mean, you’re literally a five-minute walk from Strasbourg’s main train station, but somehow the spot on Rue de Rosheim feels tucked away from all that tourist madness around the cathedral. The building itself has that classic Alsatian charm without trying too hard, and honestly, the 8.6 rating they’ve got is pretty spot-on.

What I love about this place is how it sits right in that sweet spot between the practicalities you actually need and the Strasbourg experience you came for. Petite France – you know, the crazy photogenic area with all the half-timbered houses and canals – is maybe a ten-minute stroll through some really pleasant streets. But here’s the thing locals know: you can also walk to the Krutenau district in about the same time, which is where the real café culture happens without all the tour groups. The hotel staff actually pointed me toward this little bakery on Rue des Couples that does these incredible kougelhopf pastries (I went back three mornings in a row, not proud of it).

The rooms are what you’d expect from a solid 3-star – clean, comfortable beds, decent shower pressure, though the walls are a bit thin if you’re unlucky with neighbors. I stayed on the third floor and could hear the trams rumbling by occasionally, but it’s more of a gentle city hum than anything disruptive. Check-in was surprisingly smooth, and the front desk guy spoke perfect English, which – let’s be honest – isn’t always a given in smaller French hotels. One thing that caught me off guard was how quiet the street gets after about 9 PM, considering how central you are. During the day there’s definitely foot traffic and the occasional delivery truck, but evenings feel almost residential.

Parking’s always a nightmare in Strasbourg’s center, but there’s actually a public garage about two blocks away that won’t completely destroy your budget. Though honestly, once you’re settled in, you won’t need a car – everything’s walkable or reachable by tram. The Christmas market season is absolutely insane around here (in the best way), but book way ahead if you’re thinking about visiting then. Summer’s lovely too, especially since you can walk along the Ill River and grab drinks at those floating bar terraces near the Barrage Vauban.

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

• Poor – Laura from Spain – 23 December 2024 (3/10)

  – super clean
  – super warm
  – double towels
  – 1 coffe and cookies
  
  What could be improved: – is not worth it quality-price (we paid almost 200€/night)
  – the walls are paper-thin. You can hear the neighbours conversations, and of couse his music at 7.00am.
  – there’s literally no one when you arrive. Forget put your luggage somewhere.
  – You don’t get any entry information or code until literally 10 min before you can go in.
  – If you try to call no one answers you, and the whats app is not available, so they don’t get the messages
  – super, super thin pillows
