A charming and beautiful place with a wonderful, welcoming staff. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed, and the hotel’s location is fantastic - surrounded by great restaurants, patisseries, and bakeries. Visiting the town during the Christmas market season is highly recommended. We also enjoyed the Tea Time experience held in the hotel’s Salon from Wednesday to Sunday, and it wa...

Came all the way here for the Michelin star food of Le Chambard, and it's totally worth it. First of all, the little town Kaysersberg itself is a beauty, your journey starts on your way here. Didn't get to stay in the hotel, but the restaurant is definitely a must of you're a fan of fine+dining. The "Green Style" eel will firstly give you a rich while refreshing flavor of the fish. And if you'r...

A Nearly Perfect Stay - One Disappointing Detail My family of three visited Le Chambard last week, and in almost every respect, the experience was exceptional.

Despite being housed in a historic building, the interior felt pristi...

Upon check out, we noticed they charged us for breakfast, even though we declined that option when we checked in. We didn't even stay the full 3 nights that we had booked, and they charged for 3 days of br...

Lovely stay at Le Chambre Hotel! The service is excellent — staff are friendly and attentive, and the hotel feels newly renovated with very comfortable rooms. The location is perfect for hiking, cycling, and exploring Alsace. A few small things to note: no toothbrush/toothpaste, and the shampoo is a basic 3-in-1. Breakfast is limited in variety and portion size, especially if you’re expecting a f...

Beautiful hotel located in the heart of a charming Alsatian village. The staff is friendly and attentive. Our room was very comfortably appointed with a pleasant terrace. The breakfasts are excellent and the fine dining restaurant of Olivier Nasti is extraordinary.
