La Cloche sur Obernai

31/05/2026: Our recent stay at Hôtel À La Cour d’Alsace in Obernai was a very pleasant experience. We drove from Germany and found the hotel relatively easy to locate despite its position within the historic town center. The narrow one-way street leading to the property is clearly signposted, and guests can either drive directly into the hotel courtyard for check-in or use the conveniently located parking area just before the entrance. The check-in process was smooth and welcoming. The receptionist spoke both English and German fluently, making communication effortless, and personally guided us to the entrance of our building. This thoughtful touch immediately set a positive tone for our stay. The hotel itself is charmingly laid out, with rooms distributed across several interconnected buildings. We stayed in the newer section adjacent to the swimming pool, which proved to be an excellent choice. Given the unusually warm weather for late May, with temperatures reaching 31°C, the built-in air conditioning was greatly appreciated and ensured a comfortable stay throughout. Our Deluxe Room was spacious, well-appointed, and thoughtfully designed. We particularly appreciated the separate shower and toilet areas, with the washbasin located in its own dedicated space. Practical amenities included a safe, an empty refrigerator, approximately ten clothes hangers, a hairdryer, a well-lit mirror, and a magnifying mirror. Bathrobes, towels, and slippers were also provided, making visits to the swimming pool convenient and enjoyable. There were a few minor drawbacks. No iron or ironing board was available in the room. Additionally, the lighting controls were somewhat unconventional, using touch-sensitive switches that occasionally behaved unpredictably. A few ceiling spotlights were not functioning; however, the room remained pleasantly illuminated thanks to the abundance of ambient lighting. One of the hotel’s standout features is its peaceful garden courtyard. Although the bar was not open during our stay, the reception staff were happy to serve drinks, which could be enjoyed outdoors amidst birdsong and tranquil surroundings. For a hotel located in the very center of town, this quiet retreat was exceptional. The main square of Obernai is only a two-minute walk away, making the location ideal for exploring the town on foot. Breakfast was satisfactory but not particularly memorable. The hot selection was limited to scrambled eggs, spinach, and locally produced sausage pieces. The pancakes were served cold, which was somewhat disappointing. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hôtel À La Cour d’Alsace. Its excellent central location, spacious and comfortable rooms, free parking, effective air conditioning, peaceful garden setting, and friendly multilingual staff make it an excellent choice for visitors to

27/05/2026: Definitely not a 4-star hotel. Only the central location allows you to visit the city. No restaurant or bar despite the photos on the website. The room and bathroom are outdated. The minibar was empty, not even a bottle of water. There is a water fountain in the lobby. The breakfast was of poor quality considering the price of €27, especially since there was no yogurt.
