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.
