Tonneliers

Hotel Description

You know what? The Tonneliers surprised me. I mean, when you first walk down Rue des Tonneliers – which honestly sounds way fancier than it looks – you might wonder if you’re in the right spot. It’s this narrow street in Strasbourg’s old quarter, and the hotel sits there pretty unassumed among the typical Alsatian buildings with their timber frames and flower boxes. But here’s the thing about staying in a place literally named after barrel makers: there’s something authentically Strasbourg about it that the bigger chain hotels just don’t capture.

The lobby’s got this warm, wood-heavy vibe that feels intentional without being overdone – sort of what you’d expect from a region that takes its wine seriously. Check-in was smooth (I arrived around 3 PM on a Thursday), and the staff actually knew their neighborhood. When I asked about dinner spots, they didn’t just hand me a tourist map – they mentioned this little winstub two streets over that I never would’ve found otherwise. The rooms are what you’d call comfortably modest for a 3-star. Nothing Instagram-worthy, but the bed was solid, the shower had decent pressure, and – this matters if you’re staying in old-town Strasbourg – the windows actually blocked out most of the morning delivery trucks. Though honestly, by day three I kind of liked hearing the city wake up.

What really sold me on this place was the location, but not in that generic “convenient location” way everyone talks about. I mean, you’re literally a 12-minute walk from the cathedral (I timed it), but more importantly, you’re in the thick of where actual Strasbourgeois live and work. There’s a boulangerie right around the corner where the same woman works every morning – she remembered my order by day two. The Petite France tourist zone feels close enough when you want those postcard views, but far enough that you’re not dodging selfie sticks every time you leave the hotel. Parking’s tricky, like everywhere in this part of the city, but there’s a public garage about five minutes away that won’t destroy your budget. One small thing – the WiFi gets a bit spotty on the top floor, which might matter if you’re trying to work. But then again, if you’re in Strasbourg and spending time staring at your laptop… well, that’s on you. The 7.9 rating feels about right – it’s not going to blow you away, but it delivers exactly what it promises without any unpleasant surprises. Sometimes that’s exactly what you need.

Reviews

  Posizione fantastica nel cuore di Strasburgo con vista sulla Cattedrale.
  Appartemento molto bello e pulito
  
  What could be improved: Le scale per arrivare all’appartenenza molto sporche,non all’altezza del palazzo e della posizione.
  Doccia grande ma non funzionava il doccino e la tenda non tratteneva l’acqua.
  Lavandino molto piccolo.

  En general, tot força bé

• Bien, mais trop cher – Gaetane from France – 19 September 2024 (7/10)

  L’emplacement, la déco de l’appartement
  
  What could be improved: L’absence de micro ondes, la fenêtre de la cuisine ne fermait pas,

• Ein sehr toller Aufenthalt in einer schönen Wohnung mitten in der Stadt. – Anja from Germany – 22 August 2024 (8/10)

  Die Lage war super. Zentraler geht es nicht! Schöne Wohnung, geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Toller Ausblick mit Blick auf den Münster! Die Betten waren bequem. Es gab ausreichend Kaffee für die Nespresso- Maschine.
  
  What could be improved: Für drei Personen, die nicht zu einer Familie gehören, ist es etwas ungünstig, da das Bad/ die Toilette nur über das Schlafzimmer zu erreichen ist. Man muss, wenn man im Wohnzimmer auf der Schlafcouch schläft, durch das Schlafzimmer durchgehen, um auf die Toilette zu kommen. Die Küche könnte besser ausgestattet sein für mehr als zwei Personen. Drei Teelöffel und drei kleine Tassen waren etwas wenig. Da die Wohnung so zentral liegt, ist es abends und nachts sehr laut. Bei geschlossenen Fenstern kann man aber gut schlafen.

• Very good – Dutschke from Germany – 16 August 2024 (8/10)

  Zentrale Lage, schöne alte Wohnung
  
  What could be improved: Sehr laut ( sehr heiss, wenn man die Fenster schloss); kein Kontakt zu Vermieter

• Bien placé – Maïlys from France – 30 September 2024 (7/10)

  Grand et bien agencé, bien placé
  
  What could be improved: Très bruyant tous les jours de la semaine (pile au dessus des bars et restaurant)

• Exceptional – Celine from Canada – 18 October 2024 (10/10)

  Un super logement à 2 pas de la cathédrale. Nous n'avons rencontré personne, mais c'était facile de trouver les clés. Très grandes pièces, cuisine, salon, chambre, salle de bain. Propreté parfaite (on voit souvent ça à l'éclat de la robinetterie!), cuisine très bien équipée, Salon confortable, lits et literie excellents.
  
  What could be improved: Difficulté avec la télé. Un petit guide serait apprécié.
  Au troisième étage, pas d'ascenseur. Bon pour les jambes!
