Hôtel du Théâtre
Absolutely charming hotel. A little dated perhaps but for me, that just adds to the charm. The location is absolutely superb and there is car parking below (unfortunately my van wouldn’t fit). There is a fabulous outdoor pool as well so bring your speedos 👍

Best Western Plus Thionville Centre
It was good. I like the Best Western chain. The staff was super friendly. The only problem was we weren't able to get on the rooftop because of construction and somebody thought they needed to sweep the stairs in the stairwell at 2 AM.
