Heiligenstein Vacations from $1,343

Small room, room amenities lacking, staff polite but not accommodating

We had a lovely stay at the Hotel Rohan. It's literally thirty steps from the Cathedral, and minutes away from maybe a dozen nice restaurants and cafes, so we easily went out and went back to the hotel to pick up things we forgot, wanted to drop off, or just to put our feet up to reconsider out next move. To get to Petit France on one side and the Neustadt/Place de la Republique on the other side were both within 15 minutes of the hotel and very pleasant walks on the river bank or through wonderful cobblestones streets with more shops and cafes. The staff were kind, we mostly talked with George at the reception who checked us in and worked every evening we were there. He was very welcoming and kind - we checked in daily with him for restaurant recommendations and followed a couple of them and both were very good. Our Superior Double room was very reasonably sized for European standards and especially since we were right in the center of the old town one might have anticipated smaller rooms. The other very nice thing about the room was the large amount of shelf and storage space in the room and in the bathroom so we were able to lay out our things and settle in for the stay. The night tables are quite small, and the lamps are pretty low quality plastic and falling apart - easily addressable issues that I encourage the hotel to fix. The bed was comfortable, and the room and hallway was quiet. We did not dine at the hotel, but the dining area looks modern and quite nice.
