Mandana

Hotel Description

You know what? I almost walked right past Mandana the first time I was looking for it – tucked away on the first floor of this quiet building on Rue de Fréconrupt, it’s the kind of place that feels like a local secret. And honestly, that’s exactly what makes it special. While everyone’s fighting for rooms near the cathedral (which, don’t get me wrong, is gorgeous), you’re staying in this genuinely residential corner of Strasbourg where people actually live and work.

The thing about this neighborhood is that it’s got this lived-in authenticity you just don’t find in the tourist zones. I mean, there’s a proper French bakery literally around the corner where the locals grab their morning croissants, and the whole area has this quiet, tree-lined vibe that makes you feel like you’re staying in someone’s well-appointed apartment rather than just another hotel room. The staff at Mandana seem to get this too – they’re not doing that overly polished hospitality thing, just genuinely helpful people who know their city. When I asked about getting to Petite France without dealing with the crowds, the woman at reception gave me this detailed route through the back streets that I never would have figured out on my own.

What really surprised me was how quiet it is at night, considering you’re still walking distance from everything worth seeing. The rooms aren’t huge – this is France, after all – but they’re thoughtfully laid out with decent storage and, more importantly, proper blackout curtains that actually work. The bathroom situation is solid (good water pressure, which you can’t always count on in these older buildings), and there’s this attention to small details that makes the whole experience feel more personal than your typical three-star place. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle in this area, but honestly, you’re better off ditching the car anyway – the tram connections are excellent, and walking through this part of the city is half the point of staying here. I’d definitely come back, especially knowing now how much I prefer this quieter side of Strasbourg to the busier areas where most visitors end up.

• Excellent short stay – Prathap from Germany – 12 May 2024 (9/10)

  We stayed here for 3 days as a 4 member family and all the facilities were excellent. We would definitely come back. Train station is near by and the apartment has all the basic amenities.

• Good – Hollick from Australia – 29 December 2024 (7/10)

  The unit was close to a tram stop that got you straight into the town centre. The owner has also put a lot of consideration into what you may need when staying for several days. Terrific washing machine and drier
  
  What could be improved: All the walls were bear making the space sterile.. Could have been improved with a few artworks.

• Good – Shunta from Switzerland – 22 December 2024 (7/10)

  Very clean.
  
  What could be improved: Heater. From midnight to morning, heaters were turned off automatically. That made rooms cold. The owner was very friendly.
