Strasbourg, Appartement cosy au bord de l eau

Strasbourg, Appartement cosy au bord de l eau Overview

First Impressions

When I first spotted Strasbourg, Appartement cosy au bord de l eau on Rue de Gresswiller, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from the name alone. But stepping inside this four-star property, you immediately get why it calls itself “cosy” — there’s something genuinely warm about the place that feels more like staying at a well-appointed friend’s place than a typical hotel. The fact that it’s literally by the water isn’t just marketing speak either; you can actually hear the gentle sounds of the nearby waterway, which adds this unexpectedly peaceful backdrop to your stay in Strasbourg.

Location & Getting Around

The address puts you in a quieter part of the city, but honestly, that’s part of the charm. You’re close enough to walk into the historic center — maybe 15-20 minutes on foot — but far enough away that you escape the tourist crowds when you want to unwind. What really sold me on this place was the parking situation. I mean, finding free parking in any European city is like striking gold, and here it’s just included. No circling blocks looking for a spot, no expensive garage fees — just pull up and you’re done.

The Space

The apartment setup works really well, especially if you’re traveling as a couple (which seems to be their sweet spot based on the feedback I’ve heard). The room feels spacious without being cavernous, and there’s actually a proper kitchen area where you can prepare simple meals if you want to save some euros or just enjoy a quiet breakfast by the window. The whole place has this lived-in comfort that you don’t always get in traditional hotel rooms — you know what I mean, where everything feels a bit too pristine and untouchable.

The Waterside Setting

That “bord de l’eau” part of the name really delivers. From certain windows, you get these lovely water views that change throughout the day. In the morning, there’s often a bit of mist rising off the water, and by evening, the light hits everything just right. It’s not dramatic or Instagram-perfect, but it’s genuinely relaxing in a way that makes you want to linger over your coffee a bit longer. The immediate neighborhood is residential and quiet, which means you’ll probably hear birds more than traffic — pretty rare for a city location.

Why Guests Love It

The 8.9 rating makes sense once you’ve stayed here. It’s one of those places that gets the basics absolutely right without trying to be flashy about it. Couples seem to gravitate toward it because there’s something inherently romantic about the waterside setting and the intimate scale of the space. The free parking removes one major city stress, the apartment-style layout gives you flexibility in how you spend your time, and the location strikes that perfect balance between accessibility and tranquility. You’re not paying for amenities you won’t use — just solid comfort in a genuinely pleasant setting that makes Strasbourg feel like a place you could actually live, not just visit.

Reviews of Strasbourg, Appartement cosy au bord de l eau

• Beautiful apartment, quiet, in fantastic location. – Olga from United Kingdom – 6 May 2025 (10/10)

  Excellent apartment, amazing design, spotlessly clean, very comfortable, situatedin a park near river. Sandra is a great host, caring and kind.

• Very good – Rajaz from France – 23 January 2025 (8/10)

  Petit appartement calme, très bien équipé, très propre.
  Situation géographique agréable au bord de l'Ill, avec les quais aménagés, idéal pour des petites balades à pied ou à vélo.
  Sandra est une hôtesse agréable et accueillante.
  
  What could be improved: Un seul point délicat : il est difficile de stationner dans le secteur immédiatement proche de l'immeuble. Si vous le pouvez, préférez les transports en commun.

• Exceptional – Panagiotis from Greece – 4 January 2025 (10/10)

• Very good – Delphine from France – 30 July 2024 (8/10)

  L'appartement est magnifique idéalement placé pour visiter Strasbourg et très bien agencé. Il ne manque rien, des placards, des ustensiles… Joliment décoré. Nous avons apprécié le balcon et le ventilateur car il a fait très chaud. Malgré l'environnement, la résidence est très calme et les bords de l'Ill sont très agréables.
  
  What could be improved: L'appartement est dans une résidence très vétuste. A notre arrivée, impossible de se garer près, pas de papier toilette neuf et aucune réserve ! Pas de café ( au moins pour le 1er matin !! ) ni d'éponge propre.
  Trop de produits ménagers inutiles

• Exceptional – Cindy from Germany – 4 July 2024 (10/10)

  Le soin apporté à l'agencement et la décoration de l'appartement.
  L'accueil chaleureux de Sandra et sa fille Colyne
  Le cadre très verdoyant
  La situation du logement, en dehors du cœur de ville (très rapidement accessible) au calme et au vert.

• Génial – Mahmoud from Switzerland – 21 May 2024 (10/10)

  Très propre, très bien équipé et décoré avec beaucoup de goût.

• Very good – Romana from Brazil – 26 April 2024 (8/10)

  O apartmento é bem equipado, inclusive a cozinha, e acomoda bem até 4 pessoas. A dona do apartamento foi solícita. Fica 30 minutos do centro mas pode pegar tram por perto.
  
  What could be improved: O chuveiro é ruim, e não tinha secador de cabelo. O estacionamento é na rua e difícil de achar vaga.

• Schöne Wohnung, um von dort aus Straßburg zu erobern. – Till from Germany – 4 April 2024 (8/10)

  Die Wohnung ist sehr schön hergerichtet und sauber. Die Gastgeberin hat uns zur Schlüsselübergabe willkommen geheißen und sogar ein paar Ostersüßigkeiten und eine Flasche Wasser zurechtgelegt. Bei der Kommunikation wurde immer sehr schnell und praktiv reagiert. Der Blick vom Balkon über den Spielplatz zum Fluß ist wunderschön. Es gibt nette Bäckerein in 5min Laufnähe, bei denen man gut frühstücken kann.
  
  What could be improved: Es ist abends oft schwer an der Strasse einen Parkplatz zu bekommen. Zwar ist die Wohnung sehr schön hergerichtet, aber der Wohnblock drumherum ist ziemlich heruntergekommen.

• Exceptional – Aline from France – 26 August 2023 (10/10)

  Bel appartement, bien agencé et près des lignes bus pour rejoindre l'hyper centre de Strasbourg, piste cyclable au pied de l'appartement. Vue sur l'ill très agréable.
  
  What could be improved: Peu de place de stationnement, mais on arrive tjrs à trouver un endroit proche.
