Hôtel de la Cathédrale Metz
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Hôtel de la Cathédrale Metz is worth booking if you want to sleep opposite the cathedral, walk everywhere in the old centre and start the day with a generous breakfast. Skip it if stairs are a problem, because guests report there is no lift to the upper floors.

The hotel fits couples, city-break visitors and families who care most about location. Family rooms are listed, and the hotel is tagged as pet-friendly. Air conditioning, a restaurant and free Wi-Fi are also listed.
Anyone with limited mobility, heavy luggage or small children in a buggy should think twice. Guests say there is no elevator, so reaching upper floors means climbing stairs. If that rules it out, our Luxury pick is only about €16 a night more on the reference dates.
Location and getting around
The address is 25 Place de Chambre, in the area the provider rates highest in Metz. The location score is 9.8 out of 10, which is about as good as it gets.
Distances are straight-line estimates. Metz Cathedral is about 0.1 km away, a minute on foot, and guests confirm the hotel sits directly opposite it, close to the covered market and restaurants. Germans' Gate is about 0.9 km, roughly 11 minutes.
Saint Quentin Church is a different story: about 4.7 km, around 59 minutes on foot. That is far, so use public transport or a taxi for it.
What guests say
The score is 8.6 out of 10 from 2,051 reviews, joint third of 10 eligible properties in the provider sample.
Two things come up most. First, the setting opposite the cathedral, near the covered market and plenty of places to eat. Second, the breakfast, which guests describe as varied, with fresh fruit, pastries, meats and homemade cakes. Continental, gluten-free and buffet options are listed.
The clear weak point is access. With no lift, the stairs are a real issue for some guests.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 November, 2 adults, one room) were about €116.24 a night. That is above the sample median of €107.62. These are not live quotes; check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Hotel Bristol Metz Centre Gare, was about €74.45 a night with an 8.0 score and two stars. Our Luxury pick, Maison Heler Metz, Curio Collection By Hilton, was about €132.37 a night with an 8.9 score and four stars.
So you pay roughly €42 a night more than the Budget pick for a better score and a far more central address. The Luxury pick costs about €16 more, scores a little higher and is further from the cathedral.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 10 eligible hotels in Metz. This one is our Best Value choice because it balances a solid score, a large number of reviews and a fair price for its position. It is not the cheapest hotel in the sample.
The 9.8 location score and the breakfast praise carried it over hotels with similar ratings.
Before you book

Whether breakfast is included in your rate is not confirmed. Room size, noise, renovation condition and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Read recent reviews for comments on noise.
