The Property — Maison 1934 b&b****
Maison 1934 b&b is a small, meticulously restored art-nouveau townhouse just off Colmar's pedestrian centre. The lobby feels like a private home: dark wood, tiled floors and a worn parquet stair, with calm, French-provincial decor that suits couples or solo travellers wanting quiet rather than a party. The USP is its personal, owner-run service and location two minutes from the main square. It’s not flashy but solidly comfortable.
Chronicles of Colmar
Colmar began as a Carolingian royal estate in the 9th century, then grew as a free imperial city of the Holy Roman Empire. Its architectural core is a mix of Gothic and Renaissance, exemplified by the 16th-century Maison des Têtes and Maison Pfister, built by wealthy merchant families. The city passed between France and Germany four times between 1871 and 1945, which left it with a distinctive Alsatian identity: half-timbered houses, German street names alongside French, and a cuisine that fuses both. Today it markets itself as the capital of Alsatian wine, drawing visitors to its Christmas markets and the Unterlinden Museum’s Isenheim Altarpiece.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Maison 1934 b&b****, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first or second floor at the rear of the building. The back side faces a quiet residential courtyard, away from Rue du Tir's traffic. These floors avoid ground-level street noise while staying within easy reach of the stairs (no lift).
Rooms to avoid
Steer clear of ground-floor rooms and any room facing Rue du Tir. The street carries local traffic and early-morning deliveries; ground-floor rooms also pick up footfall from the entrance and corridor. Rooms on the third floor mean a steep climb with luggage (no lift).
Best views
Rooms at the rear look onto a tranquil courtyard or neighbouring garden – a typical Colmarian private outdoor space. Front-facing rooms see the street and opposite houses, with limited charm.
Quietest floors
First and second floors at the rear. The building is a converted 1930s townhouse, so upper floors are quieter than the ground floor, but the third floor offers no advantage over the second due to stair climb.
🔊 Noise notes
Rue du Tir is a secondary road, not a main artery, but has regular car traffic from early morning until evening. B&B breakfast prep in the ground-floor kitchen may produce clatter from 7 AM. No lift, so stair noise on upper floors is minimal except for fellow guests.
Insider tips
1. Parking is not on-site; the nearest public car park is Parking Rapp (5 mins walk) – reserve a spot via the B&B's recommendation for discounted rates. 2. Check-in is strict between 15:00-19:00; request late arrival in writing at least 48 hours ahead, or you may be locked out.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
