I chose Hotel Roses because of it's close proximity to old town Strasbourg. It is just outside the old town. It was an easy walk into the old town each day. The hotel is newly-renovated and clean, modern bathrooms, comfortable bed. The hotel staff go out of their way to be friendly and helpful. There is a breakfast served in the front room each morning for a reasonable cost. It is a classic European breakfast with cold cuts, cheese, breads, croissants, coffees, fruit, yogurt, etc. We discovered that the hotel is close to the University, so the neighbourhood surrounding the hotel was packed with restaurants featuring many different cuisines (Greek, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Syrian, Lebanese, etc.).
