Le Gouverneur

If you are looking for a nice distinctive older hotel in an old French city with nearby shops that are easily within walking distance, Le Gouveneur is hard to beat. The city is small and does not have big-city cultural attractions, but we immensely enjoyed the shops and old timbered buildings.

Positiv: The things I like best about Le Gouverneur Hotel are that our room was built right over the old city wall, very picturesque; and the history of the hotel, in that it was built in 1682 for the military governor serving under Louis XIV, king of France.

Negativ: There's really nothing I didn't like about it, although on-site parking is quite minimal. You will have to leave your car at a nearby parking lot owned by the City of Obernai.
