Gertwiller Vacations from $980

Fabulous location, right at the edge of the old town and super continent for trams to the station and surrounds. But rooms were a bit cold and stark and lacking of any homeliness.

Lovely hotel perfectly located near the river walk. So scenic, yet quiet with many restsurants nearby. We were less than 10 minute walk from the Cathedral and crowded "touristy" places. Hotel de l'Ill had a plentiful breakfast included (eggs, yoghurt and toppings, pastries, meats, cheeses, breads, juices, coffee, teas, etc.). Another amenity we enjoyed was the restaurant/large area with 24-hour coffee/cappacino/tea machine and fruits and pastries for as long as they lasted. It was lovely to come back each evening for a coffee. The staff was excellent and the rooms fresh and clean. Beds were comfortable with blackout shades. Many will appreciate the bath/shower, but we would have prefered a shower. The #10 bus that served our long distance needs was just around the corner. The 72-hour bus pass, which also goes to the train station, paid for itself. We enjoyed the scenic Batorama river cruise that embarks from nearby. Our favorite casual restaurant was Au Brasseur, and we enjoyed a delucious romantic dinner at Rimini. Both were less than 10 minutes away. We would not hesitate to return to this little gem.
