Hilton Strasbourg: the big pool the centre lacks
The one genuinely large heated indoor pool in Strasbourg hotels, with sauna and hammam, often at rates below the addresses of the centre.
The verdict
The Hilton plays a card the historic centre cannot follow: a large heated indoor pool, with a sauna and a hammam beside it. Set in the European quarter opposite the Parliament, it offers the standardised comfort of a big chain at rates that are often competitive, particularly out of season.
Let us be honest about the middling Google rating: reviews point at decor that has dated in places. You come here for the pool and the price, not for the charm.
The rooms and the spa
Rooms to international standard, and above all that pool, where you can actually swim lengths. Families and swimmers find here what no spa in the city centre provides.
Booking tip
Tram line C links the hotel straight to the centre, so no car is needed at any point of the stay. The pool and price trade-off is worth the ride, especially with children. In December it is also the shrewd fallback when the centre is full, as our Christmas market hotel guide explains.
Book this hotel: for a stay during the Christmas market, book several weeks ahead. It is the busiest fortnight of the Strasbourg year and the good rooms go first.
