Le Saint Aloïse – Balcon, Vue à 10min du Centre

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Le Saint Aloïse? The name makes it sound like some grand château, but honestly, it’s more like staying in someone’s really well-appointed apartment – and I mean that in the best possible way. The building sits on this quiet residential street that most tourists probably walk right past without noticing, but that’s actually the genius of it. You’re literally a ten-minute stroll from all the cathedral madness and tourist crowds, but when you come home at night, it’s peaceful enough that you can actually hear yourself think.

The balcony situation is legit – not one of those tiny Juliet balconies where you can barely fit a coffee cup, but an actual space where you can sit with your morning café and watch the neighborhood wake up. I spent way too much time out there just people-watching, honestly. The view isn’t going to make it onto any postcards (you’re looking at rooftops and the occasional church spire), but there’s something really satisfying about seeing Strasbourg from this angle, away from all the half-timbered perfection everyone photographs. The rooms themselves feel more like a boutique apartment than a typical hotel – everything’s thoughtfully done without being fussy about it. The bed situation is solid, and thank god, because I’ve stayed in too many European places where they seem to think tourists don’t need actual sleep.

What I really appreciated was how the staff just… knows things. Like, they’ll tell you which tram to take to avoid the construction near Kléber, or mention that the bakery two streets over opens at 6:30 if you’re an early riser. These aren’t things you’d find in a guidebook, but they’re exactly what you need when you’re trying to live like a local for a few days. The whole area around Rue Saint-Aloïse has this lived-in feel – there’s a little grocery store that stays open late, a wine bar that locals actually go to (not just tourists), and you’re close enough to the Krutenau district that you can easily walk over for dinner without it being a whole expedition. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle if you’re driving, but honestly, once you’re here, you won’t need your car much anyway. The tram connections are solid, and walking into the city center is actually pleasant – you get to see how the neighborhoods change as you move from residential streets toward the tourist zone. I’d definitely come back, especially during the Christmas market season when having a quiet retreat becomes absolutely essential.

Reviews

• I can’t say we enjoyed it much, but it was okay for short stay. – Marine from Armenia – 31 October 2024 (6/10)

  Location mostly
  
  What could be improved: The amenities were outdated. The photos looked fresher than the apartment itself. Also the deposit is quite an inconvenient practice. It charges 350 euro which you need to say goodbye for at least month and a half before getting it back. Checked out two weeks ago, still waiting.

  What could be improved: Comunicare cu gazda a fost greoaie, taxa de daune este foarte mare. În ultima zi la ora 10.00 a intrat in apartament persoana pentru curățenie. Eram gata de plecare, dar gestul nu mi-a plăcut.
