I will be visiting Strasbourg in March for a day or two trip down memory lane. I spent 6 months there in college (in the 80s ack!). Looking for hotel recommendation, probably near cathedral, good for solo female traveler. Doesn't have to be fancy, just clean and safe. 2-3 stars and no elevator is fine, but character is a plus. TIA!

Maureen stay at Hotel D. It's right in the center of the city. I enjoyed my stay there last year.
Other notable boutique hotels in Strasbourg are Hannong Hôtel and Hotel Beaucour.

We stayed at the Hotel Hannong in 2015, and the current positive reviews are consistent with our experience. An easy walk from the train station and to the Cathedral. It looks and feels a lot more expensive that it is.

That used to be my standard recommendation for Strasbourg. But the last time I looked at their web site, it looked like they totally redesigned the interior, and it doesn't look so charming. But it's worth a look, as we loved it the times we stayed there many years ago.

Robert — same for me regarding the Gutenberg. Last time I looked at their website I thought the place looked horrible — too modern and garish. Such a shame as I used to like staying there.

And if you really want student style memories -- Residence Hoterliere Louise, which has bare-bones (but comfortable) rooms with kitchenette facilities, and laundry room in the basement.

Thanks to all for the advice! Will be doing some comparison shopping with these places and those in the RS book.
