Viatges a Gœrlingen

Établissement vieillissant, visiblement laissé à l’abandon. 15 minutes pour avoir la chambre alors que nous étions seuls à l’accueil, odeur dans les couloirs, odeur dans la chambre, fils de poussière au plafond, pas de prise pour charger une téléphone près du lit, robinetterie vétuste. Bref, nous avons dormi et avons fuit le lendemain matin…

This hotel was clean and very close to the train station, however the staff was so rude when we arrived and that pretty much set the tone for our three night stay. We had two rooms on the second floor and one had a decent bathroom, the other bathroom was large enough for one person to stand in it between fixtures. It appeared the management was trying to upgrade flooring and our room had a textured plastic style tile that was giving off an odor. The same tiles were on the steps outside our room and others complained about the smell as well though that may subside with time. They told us we didn’t get breakfast, which expedia said we had for one day of our stay. Would not stay here again.

Lovely hotel perfectly located near the river walk. So scenic, yet quiet with many restsurants nearby. We were less than 10 minute walk from the Cathedral and crowded "touristy" places. Hotel de l'Ill had a plentiful breakfast included (eggs, yoghurt and toppings, pastries, meats, cheeses, breads, juices, coffee, teas, etc.). Another amenity we enjoyed was the restaurant/large area with 24-hour coffee/cappacino/tea machine and fruits and pastries for as long as they lasted. It was lovely to come back each evening for a coffee. The staff was excellent and the rooms fresh and clean. Beds were comfortable with blackout shades. Many will appreciate the bath/shower, but we would have prefered a shower. The #10 bus that served our long distance needs was just around the corner. The 72-hour bus pass, which also goes to the train station, paid for itself. We enjoyed the scenic Batorama river cruise that embarks from nearby. Our favorite casual restaurant was Au Brasseur, and we enjoyed a delucious romantic dinner at Rimini. Both were less than 10 minutes away. We would not hesitate to return to this little gem.
