Paroisse Saint-Barnabé Luxury Holidays

Great apartment but a confusing checkin process. Would go back.great spot as a base for touring.

All good

The whole experience there was wonderful

A straightforward, clean, and easy place to stay in Colmar. The room was basic but comfortable and had everything I needed for a short stay. Check-in and the overall experience were simple and hassle-free. My only complaint was the wine — quite expensive for a very small pour! Overall, a perfectly good option if you’re looking for somewhere convenient and uncomplicated.

Thing special

No working AC in August, and terrible customer service! We specifically booked a hotel with air conditioning because we knew it could be hot in Basel in August, but the AC unit never cooled our room at all during our 3-night stay. The only time the temperature on the thermostat ever dropped was when we opened the windows in the evening, but we could not leave them open because of noise from the train station and nearby streets. When we alerted the desk clerk to the issue, he assured us they would have maintenance address it, but the issue was never resolved. What made things worse was the attitude of management when we raised the issue again and requested an adjustment to our bill. The manager insisted that the AC was working as designed (despite the fact that it never cooled our room), and that the problem was with our expectations and lack of understanding of European AC systems. This approach (and the extremely nominal discount offered) was insulting and false. We’ve stayed in numerous European and Swiss hotels, and never encountered a situation where the AC did not cool the room. We were not asking for rapid cooling, or a frigid room temperature; we just wanted the ability to cool the room down at night, even by a degree or two, to make it more comfortable. The lack of functional AC was disappointing; management’s “blame the customer” approach made the whole experience infinitely worse. We will not stay at this property again.

The facility was fantastic…location, space, room 102 was amazing. We loved overlooking the courtyard. Our only complaint was that using the washer dryer was not easy and the directions not clear….the staff did the best they could. I would recommend having clear written instructions for future guests.
