There's no parking at the hotel. You have to go to a "parkhaus". They've plenty.

Choosing accommodation based on polished promotional photography often sets high expectations. Unfortunately, my stay at 7Hotel & Spa in Illkirch-Graffenstaden was defined by a sharp disconnect between online marketing and the physical reality on the ground—salvaged only by helpful front desk staff after a necessary complaint. The Arrival and Initial Room Assignment: While the hotel advertises a modern, contemporary wellness experience, the property itself feels noticeably dated. The exterior and common areas lack the crisp, fresh atmosphere shown online, looking stuck in a previous era of hotel design. The issue became critical upon checking into my initial room. Rather than a modern space, I was assigned an old, unrenovated unit in poor condition: Stained Carpet: The flooring was heavily worn with prominent, unhygienic stains. Dated Decor: The room featured scuffed, aged furniture and outdated lighting fixtures. Mismatched Standard: The space lacked the clean, bright ambiance promised in online listings. Unwilling to stay in an unacceptable room, I returned to reception to raise the issue. The receptionist handled my complaint professionally and efficiently, offering an immediate room transfer without pushback.

Good stay, convenient location

Great location right in the city centre and a 15 minute walk from the train station. Good wifi speed, good air conditioning, and an adequate room size. Nice addition of free water and coffee in the lobby, and carafes to take water back to your room. Overall, a decent stay at this hotel with one major flaw: the bathroom. There was mold everywhere in my bathroom, from the shower to sink! Mold like this doesn’t appear overnight, so this means that cleaning is perpetually not occurring properly. Moreover, the shower water pressure was extremely low. Additionally, the AC only works when the windows are closed. This would be fine if the locking mechanism on my windows was working, but it was broken and so I could not actually securely close the windows. Consequently, the wind would inevitably blow the windows open during the night, the AC would shut off as a result, and I would wake up in the middle of the night sweating and having to get up and re-close the windows and turn the AC back on. Pretty annoying. Good for a couple nights stay, but I wouldn’t stomach staying any longer with such a gross cleanliness standards and as a result I probably won’t be back.
