8.8/10 Excellent! (138 reviews)
Nice room. Basic, but all I needed for one night only. Helpful feedback for the hotel - could do with a few more hooks around the room to hang things up on! I.e. if it was winter no where for a coat and in the bathroom very small area to hang hand towel and main towel. Comfy bed and blinds made it super dark and cool. No air con but a fan had been put in the room before I arrived, thanks. A bit of a walk from the main tourist areas but the tram stops are just outside.

A very nice Junior Sweet with a very comfortable bed and a well appointed bathroom. The nights were cool and dark with good blackout and discreet air con. Breakfast was quite expensive but convenient. Good spot for those travelling by train to Colmar with a flat, 15 minute walk to the centre.
