It was a one night stay for us breaking a journey by car from north Italy to Calais. There is only parking for maybe two very small cars but we parked in a public car park “La Marie” which was a five minute walk and extremely reasonable at €2 overnight. Our room was ok and the little balcony with its cheery table and chairs was sweet. The public areas (staircase/tiny reception) are tired. Good location off one of the main shopping streets.

French adventure, great area restaurant

Call ahead about parking. Only small cars can park near hotel. Feels impossible to get your car between the walls of driveway but you can. Work was in progress on outside of hotel. No problem. Very old but surface remodel. Quite a travel adventure. Excellent restaurant in area. L’annexe

Il me faut grimper au 3ème étage sans ascenseur, un peu dur dur, mais la chambre est impeccable et possède un petit balcon donnant sur un arbre dans une courette intérieur, quelle chance, silence complet et chant des oiseaux en pleine ville ! La tenancière de l'hôtel me promet un petit déjeuner dans son jardinet à la belle saison...

Hvis man er frankofil og synes om Fransk 70’er stil, retro og et hotel der stikker ud i forhold til de mange ‘strømlinede’, (kedeligt) designerhoteller som alle har samme indretning, er dette et besøg værd. Bestyres af en ældre fransk dame, der (naturligvis), kun taler fransk. Det er en tidslomme som forsvinder når bestyreren (som jeg gætter på også er ejeren) stopper. Så prøv det og bliv glad. Glem alt det vi er vandt til!

Flinke mennesker, som bestemt gerne vil en det bedste, men de kan ikke et ord engelsk, hvilket gjorde det lidt svært for os som turister. Stedet ligner ikke helt billederne. Der er småt og hyggeligt, men trænger virkelig til en kærlig hånd. Der er kun to parkeringspladser og kun små biler passer ind.

Ville à découvrir

Petit hôtel charmant très bien situé en plein centre ville avec parking privé mais attention, ne peut convenir aux grosses voitures. Accueil et petit déjeuner excellent et copieux. Un seul reproche, il manque un ascenseur alors qu'il y a la place pour l'installer. Nous avons passé 2 bons jours en visitant Besançon à pied, en petit train et en bateau sans se servir de notre voiture. La ville est agréable, très propre et reposante grâce au peu de circulation en centre ville. Cependant, il manque quelques restaurants où goûter les spécialités franc-comtoises.

Détente à l'hôtel Regina

Un séjour remarquable chez l'hôtel Regina. Une décoration cosy offrant un bel espace détente au sein des chambres et chaleureuse, idéale pour les amoureux des plantes avec une touche artistique qui embellie les espaces communs. Une gérante attentionnée (surtout quand c'est votre anniversaire) et qui connaît les bonnes adresses. Nous recommandons.

Déçu

Accessibilité par manque d’informations, l’hôtel est situé dans une zone piétonne. Parking inutilisable avec un SUV. Dans la salle de bain très petite, le ménage avait été à peine fait, sur le coffrage il y avait des poils et de la poussière ainsi que dans le bac à douche il restait des cheveux sûrement du précédent passage. L’hôtel ne dispose pas d’ascenseur et difficile de monter les 4 étages avec les valises. Par contre l’accueil était bon, la personne nous a dirigé sur les restaurants ouverts en cette période estivale mais cela ne compense.
