We stayed at the Hotel Suisse which I can not recommend enough. It was a cute hotel in an amazing location right next to the cathedral. The room was big with two double beds and enough room for a cot and was only 107 euros per night including a great breakfast.
The most obvious landmark here is the mesmerising Notre Dame.
You can walk up to the top (330 steps!) for a great view.
The old town is based around the cathedral and I loved roaming the little alleys with their picturesque timber houses
A wander over to Petite France is a must. This little area is set along the river and looks straight out of a fairy tale.

One morning we droved out to the city's big park called the Parc de L'Orangerie which is right next to the European Parliament. It was a great place for the kids with lots of play areas and a free mini zoo.
On the way home we took a quick detour on the Alsace wine route but we weren't very prepared for this so unfortunately I had no research on any good vineyards to visit but it was a very scenic drive and definitely warrants another trip
All in all, a very fun weekend in a great little atmospheric city!
