Le Gouverneur Hotel

Absolutely beautiful setting. The hotel fronts the village and backs onto the historic fortified town wall. Inside, it’s set around a large courtyard full of beautiful flowers. The rooms are comfortable and clean. There is storage space for cycles - and many of the guests (like ourselves) seemed to be undertaking Alsace cycle tours. The breakfast was very good, with plenty of options.

We have stayed at this hotel three times Great for overnight stops or to enjoy the beautiful area of Alsace Lorraine Within a few feet of entering the magnificent town of Obernai , with picturesque houses and alley ways . Quite a few restaurants and couple of bars Free parking after 6pm next to the hotel and free to blue badge holders Great location to explore Obernai and the ramparts as well as the vineyard trail The hotel is very historic , a little creaky in parts but clean and ideal for a few nights Unfortunately our room was so hot despite all the radiators being off we had to have the double windows open all night . Thankfully despite being street facing nice and quiet The bathroom was good but no storage space by way of shelves to put things . Good shower and soft towels . The toilet was sparate which is good but I do feel there needs to be a ‘little tidy up ‘ for this room . The wardrobe door is wonky as also the cupboards in the toilet and piping areas with the two huge boilers . Speaking of boilers , they are huge and noisy and did wake us up in the morning . For us the WiFi never connected at all during our stay in any Apple product , hub full error each time despite turning off and on etc Breakfast was approx £12 . Yes it is worth it but disappointing the fact the hot food of scrambled eggs were cold and the frankfurter raw . Good selection of meats , cheeses , cakes , boiled eggs , fruit , yoghurts pastries . Good selection of juices too Selection of Hot drinks , although it took 4 attempts to get clear hot water from the machine for teas. Like most drinks machines the previous selection filters through Despite a noisy full breakfast the actual hotel is lovely and quiet

We arrived early and were welcomed by friendly receptionist. And actually given a choice of rooms. We chose first floor at back, very quiet and a spacious triple room just for 2. Each room is different and so historic! The room 113 , has the best shower we have had in France. And , even better, a kettle to make tea in our room. Most 3 star hotels you have to ask for some hot water, so inconvenient and old fashioned. So we had cups of tea, super clean room, great bed. We loved this place, the best on our week in Alsace!
