I am looking at lodging for the 3 of us to tour areas around Strasbourg and into Germany. I was considering staying in Strasbourg, but is there a better location? Would like to be able to walk to the train stations for many day trips. Suggestions? Thanks!

Three of us (older females) stayed in a triple room (a double and 2 twin beds, one of which was an upper bunk over the double) in 2022 at the Ibis Budget across the street from the train station. I chose it for cost and it is certainly not fancy, but it suited and was very convenient.

Thank you! I was actually talking about which town or village.

Strasbourg is a great location. It all depends where you want to go on your day trips. We stayed there for five nights in June and took day trips to Colmar, the wine villages, and Gengenbach, Germany.
Edited to add that the first part of my trip report below might be helpful. Colmar is the other logical base in the area.
