Kaijoo Hotel

Kaijoo Hôtel is a hotel at 20 Rue du Jeu des Enfants in Strasbourg's Petite France district, in Grand Est, France. Petite France is the canal-side quarter of tanners' houses, locks and covered bridges on the Ill river, and the hotel's street lies within a few minutes' walk of the Ponts Couverts, the Barrage Vauban and the Place Benjamin Zix. The cathedral and Place Kléber are about ten to fifteen minutes away on foot, and tram stops at Homme de Fer and Ancienne Synagogue-Les Halles put the station and other districts within reach. The location is quieter than the main tourist thoroughfares yet places guests at the heart of the quarter's restaurants and riverside terraces. The hotel offers a modern, compact style suited to short city stays by couples, friends and solo travellers. Rooms are listed as Double Rooms and Twin Rooms, and wifi is available. No restaurant, bar, spa or pool is listed among the amenities, so guests normally eat in the surrounding winstubs and brasseries, where dishes such as tarte flambée, choucroute, baeckeoffe and river fish are typical, along with Alsace wines. Breakfast arrangements should be confirmed with the hotel, and several bakeries and cafés in the district open early. Service is generally straightforward and informal, with staff able to help with directions, restaurant ideas and boat tours on the Ill, which depart close to the Petite France locks. Prices are not recorded on the item, so current nightly rates should be checked with the property, bearing in mind that demand rises in December during the Christmas markets and during European Parliament weeks. Drivers should ask about parking in advance, because vehicle access to the island is restricted and public car parks are the usual option. The district is at its most atmospheric early in the morning and in the evening, when day visitors have gone.
