Hugely busy for the Christmas markets but in a fantastic location. We were there at the beginning of December 2025. Directly opposite the cathedral. So Wonderful photo opportunities. About a 20 minute walk from the station through the traffic free roads so a good introduction to the city of Strasbourg

I understand it is a very old building but I have stayed at other hotels that is very old as well and they make an effort to make you feel comfortable and not \"OLD\" and \"dungy\" and musky.

Unbeatable view of the cathedral from our room and the breakfast room. Breakfast is very affordable and delicious. Bed was extremely comfortable but the room is definitely on the small side - they do make great use of space. As other reviews have noted there is a spiral staircase from the ground floor to the first floor and then an elevator but there was a very nice staff member that assisted us with our bags. Easy baggage check so we could continue exploring after checkout. Amazing location for Christmas markets.

Staff was extremely rude and told me to leave the property and find a different place to stay on a Friday night during Christmas market busy period, They told me very rudely to stay somewhere else as they saw my younger kid with me and were not ready to give me the room. They made me pay 200 Euros in addition on the spot in order to let me stay even after paying such a huge amount for reserving the room in the first place. We were helpless and paid the money else we had no where else to go. I want my full refund

This hotel is located in one of the most beautiful squares i have ever visited. the view of the cathedral is immense! The location is just so convenient, although busy during the Christmas markets it was just perfect! The room was small but clean, cosy, and very warm. We would not hesitate to stay here again if we came back to Strasbourg. The staff were friendly and helpful, but the lcoation is what made this hotel 5 stars!

The hotel was decent. It’s right in a main tourist square by the Cathedral so it’s very convenient for people looking to see the historic district. It’s a bit noisy since it’s on a very busy square and you hear the church bells but some white noise recordings help with it. The hotel is on the older side so you will hear noise from the hallways and i could hear the heavy footing of the person in the room above mine. The breakfast was ok - not entirely worth the cost but it’s an easy start to the day. All in all, the stay was good, the staff were polite, and it was what I needed for an ok price.

The best thing about Hôtel Cathédrale is its location — literally facing the Strasbourg Cathedral. From the front door, you step right into the heart of the old town. The tourist train stop is right outside, and it’s just 8–10 minutes’ walk to the boat tours and around 20 minutes to the train station.

My room was small but cozy, very clean, with a comfortable bed and well-equipped bathroom. The only real issue was access: I had to carry my heavy suitcase up a flight of stairs to reach the elevator, and no staff offered to help, either on arrival or departure — which was disappointing.

Still, the location makes this hotel special. Just wish service matched the setting.

Old denty un-updated rooms almost mold like smell

Property is in terrible shape. Best comparison for rooms are the rooms at run down motels back in the US. Booked for 3 nights but checked out after 2 nights. Couldn't take it any more. Staff was courteous and tried their best to help. But the musky almost mold like smell in rooms was too much for us to take.

I am not sure how this hotel got a 4 star. Given the condition it is a 2 star at best.

The gentleman who checked us in was a little standoff-ish but everyone else was very nice/friendly.
Breakfast was excellent, lots of choices. The dinning room was beautiful and we had an excellent view of the cathedral and Christmas markets, etc.
Our room was on the third floor, but getting to the elevator was on the second floor up a narrow and winding staircase. It was a little challenging for my mom with her bad knees, but the building is old and may have had limitations for elevator access when installed. Our room had 2-3 steps up to the entrance door, a flight of steps to our first bedroom/bathroom, and another winding staircase to the second/third bed in the attic area. I found it charming, but it was certainly not accessible for those with mobility concerns.
The location cannot be beat, the building has a lot of character.

A nice hotel in a perfect location for visiting Strasbourg. Our room looked out on the Cathedral during the Christmas market season and we worried it would be loud at night. But the stands close up at 9pm and the crowds go home. Be prepared for church bells at 10pm and to start up at 7am. Breakfast looked nice but it was quite expensive.

Attic room

Location of thr hotel was good. Right next to cathedral. Bells woke you at 7.00 each morning! Room (no 7) was an attic room but after climbing a spiral staircsse, going along an outside verandah and then up more stairs, you then unlock to find more stairs up to the room. Very dangerous for anyone with mobility or sight problems.Room extremely cramped, which we didnt mind, but access to the bathroom was limited by those stairs. One false move and you could fall down them! Breakfast was good.

Can highly recommend the Hotel Cathedrale Strasbourg with its beautiful decor. We recently stayed here as the anchoring point for our long awaited post-COVID holiday! The absolute plus features of the hotel are the staff: front desk people available 24/7 and are friendly, competent and helpful. Cleaners are friendly, quick, work around your schedule. The staff/hosts in the welcoming breakfast room are also great. Food available is plentiful and varied including eggs, local meats and cheeses, wide variety of local bread and pastries, and jams, juices, and a good variety of hot drinks. As young seniors the stairs to the 1st floor elevator to the rooms were not an issue. (This might be hard for guests with limited mobility.) We signed up for a double room which worked for us but if you want the space of a North American room, you might feel cramped. There is limited vehicular traffic in the square and taxi service is not easy. We used local transportation to get around - a couple of blocks away, the trams are frequent, reliable and it is fairly easy to get to and from the train station and other sites. To our delight, the hotel was located on the main square right opposite the tremendous Strasbourg Cathedrale. The architecture, astronomical clock, ringing bells, tours, pilgrims, enhanced the striking presence inside and outside the church. There are many restaurants and bars within easy walking distance and the tourist bureau is also right on the square. Enjoy!

QUIRKY HOTEL IN GREAT LOCATION AND OLD BUILDING

You can't beat the location, right across from the entrance to the Cathedral. The hotel is in a very old building and they have done a good job of updating over time. Our attic room had a flight of stairs inside the door to the room and had a level above that.
Service was good, cleanliness generally good, but there was a lot of sandy debris on the bedcover when we arrived - I assume because the windows had been left open. We cleaned it off and it did not show up again.
Would stay there again, but you do have to be a bit adventurous.

Staff were pleasant and helpful to advise there were 2 public parking garages, closer but more expensive or farther but less expensive. We never found the less expensive garage but it was already a 10 minute process from the more expensive so we realized we wouldn’t have enjoyed a farther walk, with luggage. Once checked in we had to walk up a flight of stairs just to get to the elevator; that was not too convenient. The room was very small and the bed was against the wall so one person had no table access. Then the bathroom…I could lay my head on the sink while on the throne.
