Hotels Near Alsatian Wines Museum in Colmar

To start, the hotel is in a perfect location - steps from Little Venice with lots of restaurants, wine bars, sites within a 10 min walk. The rooms (in the suite across the street) were also a good size - which was great for my 4 night stay. That being said, for the price there were definitely some things that you should be aware of. As the previous reviewer mentioned, some rooms - especially in the suites across the street - did not have an elevator. This was not communicated ahead of time so is a bit difficult if you have larger luggage. I booked my room at Le Colombier, but was given a room at Le Colombier Suites. Luckily i'm in decent physical condition so lugging my bags up and down wasn't the worst for me. Additionally, while the room itself was nice, there were some aspects which I didn't like - for one, the toilet was completely seperated from the shower/sink area - in a completely isolated part of the suite (i couldn't even find it when i first checked in, i had to call and ask where it was). Again, not a huge deal but when you use the restroom in the middle of the night and have to walk around in the dark looking for the toilet and then walking all the way to the other side to wash hands, it's not ideal. Second, there were spiders in my room. I killed 2 during my stay - I wish I had taken photos to show them, but was too freaked out when I saw them to look for my phone. I know its an older building so there will be some bugs, but again for the price this was pretty frustrating. And finally, (this may seem small to some people but was impt to me), I booked this hotel because they said there was a gym. Which is true, there's a ”gym” but its literally 2 machines, in a space smaller than my hotel room. And it was in a 3rd building, two streets away from my room. Again, not the end of the world but was just very inconvenient and not communicated appropriately ahead of time. Overall, I would give this hotel another chance because of the location and room size, but definitely a few things to keep in mind.

We enjoyed Primo Hotel a lot as a family of four because it’s location makes walks through Colmar easily possible. The hotel has everything go need, even air condition, hair dryer and parking is available on public streets.

The staff could not find our booking, neither with name nor with confirmation number. We said we booked with trip.com. We had confirmation mail and login to trip.com with confirmation. We then waited about 20 minutes until the reception staff came to us and thought he had found the booking, we had given him wrong information, we had booked with ”niki-travel”. But instead of making the check-in and giving a room card, the staff was saluting at the holiday evening. We had to stand back in the waiting line behind about 20 guests for check-in with the new staff. Not very customer friendly.

This is a clean, modern, and well run hotel a short walk to the historic center of Colmar. It earns a pretty high rating because it really offers good value for a very reasonable price. The front desk staff are friendly and try very hard to provide excellent service. They arranged a car and driver to take us to the nearby village of Kaysersberg for a quick visit (my wife's father served in the U.S. Army near Kaysersberg in WWII), and the driver was truly EXCELLENT. Bathroom and shower were very good (although it was provisioned with just a half roll of TP when we checked in - had to ask for more). Just a couple of points I think worth mentioning. First, the air conditioning in the hotel is a bit quirky. I don't think I ever got it working completely right, even after a couple of tutorials with the front desk staff. While the room never got ”hot”, it never got cool either, and the system doesn't give much air flow or circulation. The system seems to be managed by computer controlled at the front desk, and the guest's ability to actually adjust the thermostat is very limited. Second, be sure to double-check the hotel address before you book or travel. While the address here on Trip Advisor is correct (Rue de Bale), one can get some odd results searching on Google Maps. If you type just ”Hotel Turenne Colmar” in Google Maps, it drops a pin in the heart of the old town which is NOT near the hotel. This caused us some consternation when we arrived in town, as we had to figure it out, then drag our suitcases across an extra kilometer of cobblestones after after what was already a very long travel day. In short, for travelers on a budget, the Turenne is a real value.

Wife and I were here for 2 nights in Nov. The hotel was located just 2 blocks from the train station. It was an easy straight walk to get here. Our check in process was friendly and simple. We were given a wonderfully decorated room with plenty of space. Our room was clean and comfortable, bathroom amenities were pretty good with a nice hair dryer. WiFi worked great through out our stay. From the hotel we were able to walk to everything we needed to see in Colmar. There was also a Monoprix just about a 6 minute walk from the hotel which was convenient. The kitchen area serves all day drinks that was included (coffee & tea) which was nice. The kitchen also has plenty of plates and cups and utensils which we used every night to have dinner. Staffs were all masked up and they checked our Pass Sanitaire. We were here during the time when there were Xmas Market shuttles for all the small towns around Colmar leaving from in front of the train station. We utilized it for Equisheim and Turckheim. Breakfast was wonderful here every morning with lots of options. The hotel was pricey, I am glad the price matched the amenities and services. The hotel kept saying they didn't pre-charge me for the tourist tax before hand. but no matter what I do to convert the charges that was charged 6 days before arrival. The prices just don't line up, and it was roughly the 5 Euros tourist tax. I paid it anyways since 5 Euros isn't worth the time to argue. When we got home, my bank told me the total price in Euros they charged which included the tourist tax. So, I suppose they over charged me by 5 Euros, oh well. Somewhere there was either a mistake or miscommunication. Overall it was a wonderful hotel and we had 2 great night sleep. We will be back again.

Note it’s not ‘almost an hotel’ but ‘an ‘almost’ hotel’ by that I mean things are ‘almost’ perfect - but not quite. The car park is a faff to get into, two gates entered via a clicker available from reception on a parallel street. The spaces are small and very fiddly to get anything bigger than a Fiat 500 into. OK, I missed the part about the entry code being on one of the pieces of paper given to me but why is it needed in the first place? The room we had was classed as a ‘Junior Suite’ actually just a family room with three beds. The main shower, an over bath variety, so not easy for a less than nimble wife, was just a small shower head set in the wall producing a pretty pathetic spray, ok there was a hand held head as well. Just one tea bag and coffee sachet for each person but with really nice china cups but cheap, thin plastic water cups. Air Con set at 24c and, as far as I could make out, not adjustable, It sounded like a 747 on take off, all night, and did nothing to lower the room’s temperature. Breakfast was just about OK, but very unremarkable in an overcrowded restaurant where the tables were jammed together, cheek by jowl. So, nothing horrible, just a hotel that ‘almost’ makes its 4 star classification - almost but not quite.

It's very close to the town of Colmar, and there are a lot of parking spaces. The only downside is that it's the first time I travel to Europe. I don't know that I need to pay taxes on the spot. The service staff's English is not very good, and it took a long time to check in

The location is biased, but the parking is convenient. There is a Chinese buffet restaurant in 5 minutes walk. The small fried is very powerful and delicious.

Absolutely charming hotel with lovely and very helpful hosts. The hotel is full of character and has a sense of homeliness about it. Throughout the hotel there’s an eclectic mix of artefacts which make it all the more interesting and outside an almost tropical courtyard in which to enjoy a drink. Certainly this was the best breakfast of many we had in the region and we liked the fact we could reserve a parking space and also extend our checkout. The photos of this hotel do not do it justice. Our only disappointment was that we didn’t book more time here!
