Really good Brasserie

The culinary experience at the Brasserie was excellent, with every dish bursting with flavor. I particularly adored the expertly spiced Tartare, which paired beautifully with the warm ambiance of the restaurant.

My stay at the Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois was nothing short of magical. The location along the Rhine River provided a stunning backdrop for my trip, and the luxurious atmosphere was simply unmatched. The staff went above and beyond to help, particularly when I had an incident with my contact lens. However, while I loved the historical decor, I wished for a touch of modernity in the room’s design. Overall, it felt like a step back in time, with impeccable service to match.
