“A historic and romantic experience.”
It's all about the fine location and attentive staff at the Petite France - in the very heart of old Strasbourg, on an island, overlooking the river. Driving there was tricky, even with our GPS set to its address, due to many one way, dead-end, and pedestrian-only streets (we went round and round...). Once there, though, we really enjoyed our two day stay in one of Europe's most fascinating cities, walking everywhere. The hotel's history as a mill and ice factory made it even more interesting. Our top floor room (#406) was unusually spacious, and had a spectacular view of the river and rooftops from the dormer windows in several directions. There were a few minor problems (safe and bathroom light weren't working), but the staff were quick to fix them. We had dinner at the hotel one night - decent but not exceptional - and generously-sized drinks at the bar, which were pricey but delicious.
