The location of this hotel is excellent, in a very city central area of lovely Strasbourg. It is easy to access by tram from the train station - or if you are traveling light, it is only about a 10 minute walk from train station. If you are visiting Strasbourg for the wonderful Christmas markets, this hotel is ideal, in walking distance to everything. Free WiFi is provided and it is reliable.

My client booked a room for me at the Maison Rouge hotel. Initially, I wanted to stay at the Sofitel but he told me that the Maison Rouge would suffice for just one night.First impressions of the signage outside the hotel were a bit drab. It had the room prices posted adjacent to the sliding glass entry doors in huge bold print text which didn't make the hotel seem like a regular 4 star hotel.I was greeted by a young man behind the check in desk who seemed so bored that he just passed me the key to my room. No registration, no "how was your trip", just a quick hello and here is your key.The elevator of the hotel had a huge sign stating that the hotel was a 3 star establishment. Ok, interesting- the website says that it is a 4 star.Most of the furniture in the hotel seems classic and perhaps a bit overdone however no major complaints. My room was well appointed in simple furnishings yet it was satisfactory. A flat screen tv, wifi Internet, a mini bar, and it also had an automated window blind-shutter.The bathroom on the other hand was ugly with pink tiles but not cramped.One thing I should warn every guest wishing to stay here in the future is that road noise is clearly apparent. I heard every tram pass, pedestrians on the streets, etc... And I was at least 4 floors up. I could also hear every word of a conversation my neighbor next door was having at 7 a.m.By no means is this a bad hotel but if it could just improve on some aspects of the hotel it would be a lot better.

I stayed one night on business. The hotel is easy to get to by tram from the train station and located near Place Kleber, only a few short minutes from the stunning Cathedral. The staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are decent, nothing spectacular. My "double bed" was really two single beds pushed together. Free wifi now a must for business travel but I had trouble with reception in my room. I simply moved close to the doorway or to the well-apportioned landing near the lifts. It was not a problem but had the stay been longer could have been troublesome. Breakfast was okay, again nothing spectacular. The buffet included a nice selection of yogurts, fruit and bread with a few hot items. Staff were slow to replace dwindling items (still wondering if they ever replaced the long depleted scrambled eggs). The plentiful bakeries nearby looked much more inciting, so much so I regretted eating at the hotel (don't get me wrong, it was fine). I did not see a bill so cannot comment on price or value for money (although I suspect it was reasonable). It's a decent hotel and if you don't need luxury but need a place close to the city centre, it could be a good choice.

When we were trying to choose from a number of hotels we'd viewed online, we were tossing up whether to stay within the dead-centre of the city at "Maison Rouge", or select one on the edge of town near the TGV Station. Fortunately we chose this great hotel.I booked online somewhat hesitantly the night before arriving, as I thought there must be a problem with the hotel as the room rate was lower than the further-out hotels, but it just turned out to be that they were offering a really attractive promotional rate as there were NO drawbacks with this hotel apart from the parking - more about that later.Our room had a unique double-door arrangement to the bathroom/entry foyer, such that the bathroom door could fold back to create an "air-lock" style of arrangement with the entry door so there was no noise transmission through that area (not that there was ever any noise in the area outside the room anyway). There was a sliding double-glazed door opening to a petite balcony, plenty of space for our bags while still leaving ample space in the room, a pleasant bathroom and a small document safe. We even had free WiFi and a truly terrific buffet breakfast included in the economical room rate.The hotel is ideally positioned near restaurants and within an easy five-minute walk to the magnificent Strasbourg Catherdal (wow, what a breathtakingly beautiful, must-see landmark) and even is next door to a great Galleries Lafayette store.Maison Rouge's front-of-house staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful too.The only downside was the difficulty in parking and challenging car access to drop off our bags. While my GPS unit did guide me right to the front door, this cobbled street really didn't appear to be one that you should drive upon, highlighted by people looking in amazement at our rental car as we drove to the very front door (although the lady at reception assured me it was fine). Unfortunately there were no basement parking spots available, so I had to retrace my way through restricted one-way streets to a public car park in Place Kleber. So my tip is don't even try to drive to the hotel, just go straight to the public car park and walk the very short distance to Maison Rouge.We'd definitely book there again anytime we visited Strasbourg and recommend it to anyone.

Of the 8 hotels we stayed at on this trip this was one of the best. It was walkable from the station, although it took around 15 minutes, and conveniently located near Place Kleber, with interesting walks in every direction. The room was pleasant, the bed comfortable, and Wi-Fi and breakfast were included. Reception staff not overly friendly at first, but very helpful when asked for directions and information.
