6. Location & Accessibility
The hotel's location is undoubtedly one of its strongest assets. Situated in a "prime location" in the historic Petite France district, it is right on the canal, offering picturesque views.

Nearby attractions also include Ponts Couverts, Barrage Vauban, and Musee Alsacien Museum.
The hotel is accessible by car, though guests need to contact the front desk for an access code due to its pedestrian area setting.

Despite the luxury pricing, many guests feel the exceptional location, high-quality service, and amenities justify the cost, making it a worthwhile experience for those seeking a premium stay.

The whole experience at The Regent was wonderful. At 1st I was a bit disappointed that there was not a room w/a balcony available, but our room 210 was amazing. It's on a corner, so it had amazing views in 2 different directions, over the canals, in a perfect part of town. The windows open completely, so you can stand and look over, as though you're on a balcony. The room was spacious, with a nic...

A solid 4-star hotel at best. The location & view from the room is excellent and the amenities - spa, bar and a reputable restaurant - have potential, but the overall experience fell short of the 5-star standard the hotel advertises. Upon arrival, I walked in carrying two suitcases. Although a doorman and several staff members were present, there was no greeting and no offer of assistance as I ca...

A clean spacious well appointed Hotel situated on a canal within walking distance of many restaurants with local cuisine and all the glorious sights Strasbourg has to offer near the city centre. About a 10 min walk to the Strasbourg Cathedral but 5 min walk to Church of Saint Thomas. Beautiful Christmas markets and Strasbourg said to be the most beautiful lit up European city at Christmas time is...

The bed was comfortable, the room was very clean, we had everything we could have wanted! The location was prime (and our view had a great view of Christmas market). Most importantly, everyone here was very nice and welcoming. Highly recommend and would stay here again!

We booked a deluxe room, unfortunately the room that we were offered when we checked in had nothing to do with the picture on the website. Tiny room with one window, super dark and not cozy. We asked for a changed but were offered 1 room that was not accessible for us with a stroller, and another even darker. Very upsetting experience. Definetly not worth the premium price we paid for a 5 star hot...
