Colmar is a gem in the heart of Alsace. It is a lovely town and very popular during Christmastime. The surrounding country-side has many quaint villages and lots of vineyards to visit. Overall, a lovely location in France!

Colmar matches all of the photos of it and is even better in reality. The covered market is a highlight, with good food stalls in a fabulous building at the side of the river.

The little Venice was disappointing as the water was stagnant and the boats looked old, nothing like Venice. The town in itself is extremely beautiful. Transportation is an issue though. Hard to get taxi or Uber or a bus to explore other villages on.

Colmar is a gem so naturally many, many people want to visit. Perhaps consider going in May or September to avoid the summer and Christmas Market crowds.

I love the city. We must visit it at Easter, in summer and around Christmas.
"An old-world but elegant hotel that had everything you would need. Excellent location, excellent, quality buffet breakfast. Highly recommended. And Colmar is a delight. An amazingly preserved old town. "
"Stayed at the hotel for 4 nights for a family tip. It’s conveniently located close to the center, but far enough to be really quiet at night. The rooms were clean and updated and the front desk staff was friendly. Parking is located at the supermarket parking lot, which is accessible to anyone. I didn’t have any issues with that, but this might be an issue for some people. "
"Lovely modern styling in a collection of ancient buildings. Very attentive staff who speak good English.
Limited parking so may well have to drop luggage and park elsewhere.
Hotel is right in the little Venice area surrounded by medieval streets and great restaurants."
