La Maison Hotel Mulhouse
LOVED our stay here. Great location - a little hidden away but still in the action. Great secure spot to store our bikes. Staff were amazing. Room was beyond our expectations. Great value and would love to return. Only downside - the bathroom really really needs a shower curtain.

A 5-star stay: clean, comfortable room with quality furniture, an inclusive stocked fridge, and a good varied buffet breakfast. Staff were helpful, but tram noise at night may bother light sleepers. Highly recommended overall.
