Presentation

The ibis Strasbourg Centre Historique overlooks the west bank of the Ill, a stone’s throw from the Museum of Modern Art and a five-minute walk from Petite France. The TGV station is ten minutes away, and the cathedral is a short fifteen-minute walk. Three stars, 244 air-conditioned rooms, and a location that stands out as soon as you step outside: the canals on one side, the city center on the other, and a tram stop right opposite for those who prefer to spare their legs.

The fiber-optic connection takes care of internet speed. The rest, you can take at your own pace. Up in the upper floors, the rooms keep things simple: a desk by the window, a safe, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, and individually adjustable air conditioning. Private shower, free Wi-Fi, nothing extraordinary but nothing missing either.

On the ground floor, the bar is worth a stop even if you’re not thirsty. Drawings run across the walls, and it’s fun trying to decipher them while waiting for your order. Continuous service, day and night, handy for those returning late from a stroll along the quays or leaving early for Europa Park.

Breakfast is served from 6:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., at an extra charge on top of the room rate, something to factor in when booking. In return, the buffet does not do things by halves: pastries, freshly squeezed juices, enough to linger a little before heading out. During the week, at lunch and dinner, the Ibis Kitchen restaurant offers an all-you-can-eat international buffet, in the dining room or as room service. Flammekueche seems to appear often on the tables, almost more of a local ritual than a dish from the menu.

For business stays, five meeting rooms benefit from daylight, and a business corner provides a computer and printer. The reception desk, open day and night, speaks German, English, and French, and can point you to the best times for the cathedral or the Christmas market.

As for parking, there is no private parking on site. A public car park is about 50 meters away, cannot be reserved, and is available at an extra cost. It is better to allow some extra time in high season, especially on Christmas market weekends.

Outside, head to Petite France along the quays, or take the wine route for those extending their stay toward the Alsatian villages. One tip for breakfast: it’s better to go down before 8:30 a.m., as the dining room fills up quickly once business groups start arriving.
