    Pros +

    • Great location right in the middle of the old town. Very helpful, friendly staff.
    • Central location. Friendly helpful staff. Good breakfast with varied choice. Good value
    • The staff was helpful, the room had everything we needed and the location was ideal

    Cons -

    • Private parking is a few streets away and in an enclosed yard not garages. Last time we stayed it was in a garage behind doors which we preferred as we like to leave all our luggage in the car.
    • It wasn’t the most modern room and the toilet was loud and ran for a long time after flushing
    • If you have noisy neighbors like I did, it does take away from the experience. I don't know if the walls were thin or if the neighbors were too loud. I couldn't get the tv to work properly.

    Very nice little hotel in the middle of the old town, great location, friendly staff, spacious room, comfortable beds, extra bedding if needed, quiet

    9BrianPosted on: 12-8-2025

    The hotel is centrally located with lots of restaurants and stores in the area. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the breakfast was good (cost of EUR 11). The wifi was strong and the bed was comfortable. I liked the decoration in the room.

    If you have noisy neighbors like I did, it does take away from the experience. I don't know if the walls were thin or if the neighbors were too loud. I couldn't get the tv to work properly.

    We had a lovely stay here. The room was very clean, and the staff were extremely kind and helpful. Even though they didn’t speak English very well, they did everything they could to communicate with us and make sure we had everything we needed.The only small downside was that the breakfast felt a bit limited, but overall we were very satisfied with our stay.Would definitely recommend.

    Great location, totally quaint, a little old fashioned but full of character and an excellent breakfast for a walker - except for the coffee which was pretty poor.

    8LiuPosted on: 10-28-2025

    Location is in the center

    Noise from upper floors of wood ground, however it was silent during sleep time, toilet facilities are not good, also there are some hairs on the wall.

    9CarolePosted on: 10-2-2025

    This is a proper, old-fashioned hotel in the town centre with bars and restaurants all around. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was large with traditional furniture and a huge bathroom.

    The parking was a couple of streets away.

    10Helena M.Posted on: 9-26-2025

    Breakfast was fantastic, with freshly pressed orange juice and our own egg station, staff was very friendly and helped us a lot despite our bad French. Great parking solution. Best possible location, right in town, walking distance to everything.

    A little dated, didn't bother us though.

    Central location Good breakfastUseful city centre parking

    It is a bit outmoded vs modern expectations - how I remember French hotels 30 years ago.

    Happy, I'm born before the 70ties. The atmosphere of the hotel and the room was really out of date. The LCD-tv stood in big contrast with te rest of the room. The beds were o.k. same goes for the breakfast but the rest was really not of today's standard. The location, the personal and the parking was o.k. but somehow this antique style did not work for me.I will never go back here...for me this hotel is over priced....maybe because of the location.

    Nice hotel in the center of the city, friendly people and a very good breakfast, would come again

    8BenPosted on: 8-28-2025

    Great old hotel in centre of Besancon. Lots of charm, high ceilinged, spacious room with lovely big windows. Staff very helpful.

    Toilet and shower a bit old, not well isolated from rest of room, no extractor fan.

    9LindaPosted on: 8-25-2025

    Excellent situation in the heart of the town..most of which is pedestrianised. Parking was nearby in a private location. Staff took us there and back when needed. Staff very helpful and friendly. Room overlooked the street...but there was not much traffic at all. Vehicle access into the town is only by arrangement...you give your registration number...which is read by cameras at the entrance roads to the town and bollards go down for you to enter. Photo below taken from our room at night. Besancon is a MUST to visit!

    There was no overhead shower in the bath...just a hand-held...but we did not book the more expensive rooms as we were only there for 2 nights - so not the hotel's fault but ours!

    10JuliaPosted on: 8-14-2025

    Very nice old-style city hotel. They were very helpful with our bikes.

    7Mikeb1970Posted on: 8-8-2025

    Fantastic location and very nice friendly staff.

    The hotel is in need of refurbishment. The car park needs to be resurfaced - very large potholes.
