The staff at the hotel was lovely! The room was spacious and clean. The Hotel breakfast buffet was really nice. They had a lot of options to choose from. Locatio is very close to the train station which is very convenient, and it is also a short walk away from the city center. I recommend staying here!

Good value for the money and easy accessible. We only were in Besancon for one night during traveling back home from Bordeaux. Overall the hotel shows good value for the money. Breakfast was of good quality and good selection. Only the bathroom needs to be updated, especially the toilet.

Great place to stay

Lovely hotel room although it is a premium room. Very spacious with toilet separate to shower room. It looks like it would wheelchair friendly. Lovely shower one downside is the small hand basin. Very difficult to use without splashing water everywhere. Great location right next to the station and if the walk into the old town seems too far, the tram takes you into the centre.

Car parking poor. The car park was full and the overflow arrangement with the local railway station is not user friendly. It took 30 mins to exit car park with hotel issued tickets which fail to raise exit barrier. Separately, wifi not accessible . Not acceptable in today’s age. Hotel layout weird and signage to some rooms disappears long before you’re close to room. I would not return to this hotel.

Kein Service ohne Personal

Der Mangel an Personal ist spätestens beim Frühstückbuffet zu sehen, das längst nachgepflegt werden müsste - aber Gäste am Check-Out warten auf dieselbe Person. Wenn dann auch die Kaffeemaschine streikt, macht's keinen Spass mehr. Die Sauberkeit war klar unterdurchschnittlich. Laub vom letzten Herbst lag auf der Frühstückterrasse, das geht einfach nicht im August im 4-Stern-Hotel.

Bel hôtel avec prestations appréciables

Excellent séjour dans cet hôtel très reposant. L’accès gratuit à l’espace bien être la semaine est un plus, dommage que ce soit payant le week-end. Belle piscine. Petit-déjeuner buffet très complet malgré un problème de réassort durant notre séjour, et tout de même un peu cher (18€)Chambre spacieuse avec balcon et literie très confortable.

Une chambre petite, un spa agréable...

Quelques points + : le personnel, le spa (jacuzzi, hammam, sauna, douche sensorielle), le ménage, l'état général de la chambre et de l'établissement, la proximité de la gare Et des points - : la taille de la chambre pour une personne, la décoration très minimale, le petit-déjeuner peu enthousiasmant (surtout au niveau charcuterie et fromage), l'absence de mini-bar.
