Right in the centre of Besançon with easy walking all round. Staff were super- helpful given the annual market which had blocked the town centre making it very hard to reach. Old-fashioned but clean and comfortable.

Alt im Herzen der Stadt

Ein Hotel an hervorragender Lage, dass aber etwas in die Jahre gekommen ist. Betr. Parkplatz sollte man sich wegen der Zufahrt im Voraus informieren, hab ich im Nachhinein erfahren. Viel Schnickschnack gibt es hier nicht und das Hotel trumpft ganz klar mit der super Lage im Zentrum des Zentrums.

Très bien

Hôtel très bien situé et facile d'accès. Les personnes à l'accueil sont très sympathiques. Malgré la déco un peu "vintage" (qui fait son charme) la chambre est très pratique et fonctionnelle avec des prises, un grand placard, un bureau assez grand pour l'ordinateur et de nombreux dossiers.

The hotel's location was great to reach everywhere within the city. It is an old and nice building. The interior and the furniture was a little outdated, but still very clean and had a nice old-timey feeling. The breakfast was ok, but not very special. However, the most pleasing part of the stay was the staff of the hotel. They were very cordial, helpful, attentive and friendly. They really positively affected our stay.
