Hotels in Munster

Domaine de Haslach gave our family a mountain-view apartment with a kitchen, a dining area and free WiFi, perfect for self-catering in the Munster valley. The infinity pool with views over the valley was the kids' favourite, and the indoor pool was great on colder days. We enjoyed the spa and wellness centre, and one of us used the fitness area. On nights off cooking, the restaurant and bar were handy. Comfortable and well equipped.

Hôtel Deybach was a family-friendly, practical base about 800 metres from Munster's town centre. Our room had a private bathroom and free WiFi, simple and well kept. The train station is just 200 metres away, with direct trains to Colmar about 20 kilometres east, which made a day trip into the city easy with kids. Free private parking was handy when we used the car to explore the Vosges. Quiet, friendly and good value.

Logis Hôtel Restaurant Panorama is the address I recommend above Munster, in Hohrodberg, for families who want wide views and a pool in the Vosges. At 720 metres, the hotel looks over the mountains and the valley, and the indoor swimming pool and sauna fill the late afternoon. The dining room serves traditional Alsace cuisine, which makes dinner easy after a day outside, and some rooms have balconies. Free WiFi is included. My advice: ask for a balcony room for the view.

Hotel Restaurant & Spa Verte Vallée is the address I recommend in Munster for families who want a park setting and a pool in the Vosges. The wellness centre has a sauna and a swimming pool, which gives children and adults something to do after a day outside. Rooms have a flat-screen TV, minibar and private bathroom with toiletries, and the on-site restaurant, Les Grandes Arbres, cooks with local produce for every meal. My advice: book meals at the hotel.

Domaine Le H gave our family a comfortable room with a private bathroom, a tea and coffee maker and free WiFi, a calm base in Munster. The restaurant served French and European dishes that we enjoyed after days exploring the area, and on milder evenings we ate outside on the terrace. The bar was a nice spot for a local drink. Free on-site private parking made coming and going easy, and local attractions are close by.

Hôtel Bar des Vosges is a two-star in the centre of Munster, and I would book it for families who want a simple, central base rather than hotel facilities. Family rooms are available, each room has a private bathroom and a TV, and wired internet is free. The bar serves local wines and beers, with a shaded terrace in summer, which suits parents at the end of the day. Pets are allowed, useful if the dog travels with you. Guests rate it 8.

La Cigogne sits on Munster's market square, and watching the stork nests from the restaurant was a delight for our kids. The tourist office is about 180 metres away and the train station around 450 metres, so getting around was easy. For skiing, La Bresse-Hohneck and La Bresse Lispacht are within a 35-minute drive, which made for easy day trips. Meals at the on-site restaurant were relaxed. Central and full of local charm.

Brit Hotel Grand Hotel Munster was a practical, family-friendly base between the Vosges and Alsace. We took one of the studios that sleep up to six, which gave our big family room to breathe. The bar-restaurant served regional and Alsatian specialities, a real treat after days out in the mountains. The large garden let the kids run around, and in summer the outdoor pool is a bonus. Simple and good value.
