Historical fortress with a very extensive history..
Lots of additions have been made over the years and some of the original fortress is in very well preserved condition..
For me the visit was for its use during the war and its occupation by the German army... many of its exhibits are on display..
I really enjoyed walking along its walls and looking over the Rhine and its views of Koblenz...
Unfortunately as a UK visitor I found that descriptions of the exhibits were not in English so I had difficulty finding out about the displays...
I could understand how being of German nationality how the fortress could be an exciting place to explore and enjoy..
Had so many things to see and do...
Ticket prices were reasonable enough and our ticket price included a return cable car ride to Koblenz for around €19..
Car park nearby and plenty of space available...

Large hotel with comfortable and reasonably priced rooms including breakfast
Check in and out was straight forward
24hr reception
Ample free car parking.
The staff were friendly and welcoming
The room was clean and comfortable with two single beds
Furniture was a little outdated and worn out but still functional and adequate for use
Tea and coffee making facilities were also available in the room
The bathroom was quite large with a sink
Shower and toilet
Unfortunately the soap dispenser was empty but like most I carry my own toiletries so not a problem
Breakfast was included and is a hot buffet style offering along with additional cereals and juices
Toast is offered with breakfast and cooked by the kitchen staff and brought to the table
Had a comfortable and enjoyable stay and would gladly return

What a lively and bubbly place to visit and see...
A fantastic variety of stalls shops and food vendors..
We visited on our way home from London and spent a few hours wandering around but quite easily spent all day here...

Ideal for parking in the centre of Strasbourg and very close to the cathedral
Simple entry and exit process
Plenty of spaces...
Paid around €8... for around 3hrs... not sure if it is reasonable or not...
But I felt that the car was safe and secure and didn't risk a parking fine for parking on the street...

Beautifully maintained grounds and an amazing memorial to the fallen..
Tribute to the brave men and women who gave their lives in the great war
