Unlike the previous reviewer’s experience, our room was perfect: a very comfortable bed with really high thread count sheets, plenty of space for our large duffel bags, electric shades to block out the early morning sun, a separate sitting room with a second TV, arm chairs around a coffee table and regular chairs around another smaller table, a constantly restocked fridge with sparkling and still water and an espresso maker. Best room we’ve been in on this European trip.
The service has been excellent, although most of the staff do not speak much English. The vast majority of the guests are French (it was a pleasure not to hear more English than French, as in Paris). The front desk staff helped me find a clinic where I could get some staples (stitches alternative) removed from my arm. They also helped arranged a driver from Strasbourg to Stuttgart when we discovered two days before departure that all the trains were booked.
We did a beautiful hike through the flower-filled town and the Alsatian woods one morning. Another morning we rented two electric mountain bikes at the hotel and toured around a number of bucolic towns (my wife and I are both tall, so while we managed, it would have been nice if they had large bikes instead of mediums). The area bike routes are well-marked and lovely. Afternoons were spent lounging outdoors in the spa.
The lunches were copious, well prepared buffets. At high tea time every afternoon there is a big desserts and fruits buffet. It’s really welcome that we could go to these meals in a bathing suit and a hotel bathrobe (the place is a spa).
We ate two nights in the hotel’s less fancy restaurant and saved our Michelin starred dinner for Auberge Guth in an adjoining town. We also went out for croissants in the morning, rather than eating another big meal at the hotel.
The spa facilities themselves were great with multiple levels filled with pools, jacuzzis, cold plunges and saunas.
We very much enjoyed our four nights here.
