Strasbourg centre Oberlin

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest with you – the Strasbourg centre Oberlin isn’t going to blow you away with luxury, but there’s something genuinely appealing about this little 3-star spot tucked away on Rue Jean-Frédéric Oberlin. The first thing that struck me when I walked up was how quiet this street is, considering you’re literally a stone’s throw from all the action in Strasbourg’s historic center. I mean, you can walk to the cathedral in maybe ten minutes, but you’re not dealing with the tourist crowds right outside your window at 7 AM.

The hotel itself has this understated French charm – nothing flashy, but clean and well-maintained in that practical European way. The rooms are what you’d expect from a solid 3-star place, though honestly, some are definitely better than others (try to snag one facing the courtyard if you can). What I really appreciated was the staff’s approach – they actually know the neighborhood and can point you toward that little boulangerie on Rue du Faubourg de Pierre that locals frequent, or tell you which tram line gets you to Petite France without the walking marathon. The breakfast is decent enough, though nothing revolutionary – fresh croissants and proper coffee, which is really all you need before wandering around the old town anyway.

You know what really works about this place? The location gives you the best of both worlds. Sure, you’re not staying in some grand hotel on Place Kléber, but you’re close enough to everything that matters while being on a street where you can actually get some sleep. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle in this area – there’s street parking but it fills up fast, and the nearest garage is a few blocks away. The 7.1 rating feels about right to me; it’s not trying to be something it’s not, just a solid, unpretentious base for exploring Strasbourg. If you’re the type who wants to spend your days poking around the Ponts Couverts or getting lost in the winding streets around Rue des Dentelles, then coming back to a comfortable, quiet room without paying cathedral-view prices, this place actually makes a lot of sense. The neighborhood comes alive in the evenings too – there’s a wine bar just around the corner that locals seem to love, and you’re close enough to the university area that there’s always something happening without it being completely overrun with tourists.

Travelers should reserve a hotel in Strasbourg at least two months ahead of their visit to ensure availability and secure better rates, especially during the peak December season when the city hosts its world-famous Christmas celebrations.

• Very good – Elena from Italy – 28 April 2025 (8/10)

  What could be improved: Avrebbero dovuto sottolineare che l'appartamento era seminterrato, con le finestre che è meglio non aprire, si vedono i piedi dei passanti
  quindi piuttosto umido
  Non era sporco ma, polveroso.Il bagno in po' scomodo.la doccia è aperta da un lato e la finestrella si apre a livello stradale e bisogna piegarsi per aprirla

• Superb – Mehmet from Turkey – 22 July 2025 (9/10)

  Konumu temizliği güzeldi fakat ev olduğu için bulaşık deterjanı ve sıvı sabun koymamışlar bu bence büyük eksiklik geri kalan her şey çok iyiydi
  
  What could be improved: Evde eksik şeyler vardı sıbı sabun bulaşık deterjanı

• Pas utilisable par temps chaud et il ne faut pas envisager de cuisiner, – Catherine from France – 5 July 2025 (3/10)

  What could be improved: le site mentionnait "climatisation" mais il n'y en avait pas, Il n'y avait qu'une seule casserole disponible et sans manche et les plaques de cuisson marchaient au ralenti.
