Nobody had advised us that the property is in a pedestrian only area - must park 4 blocks away. It's a bare bones property, very very simple rooms. Great location and friendly staff.

A 3 star hotel without a 24 hour desk. The front doors are locked during the mid-day until 2 or 3 pm, not really sure. The front door is on a narrow walkway beside the river that is used by many single men; sitting, eating, drinking. Also, that front door and walkway face the very hot afternoon sun. The hotel is totally run by one man who also runs two restaurants that open to the other side of the building (the plaza) and it seems he is a primary cook for those restaurants. The restaurant kitchens are in the basement and exhaust their kitchens to the front door walkway. Breakfast is very minimal. Room was small, clean and quiet. The location is very good, in the heart of Besancon.

Besancon er hyggeæig

Udemærket værelse. Lidt lille men rent. Madrassen i sengen var vel hård til vores smag. Næste gang vil vi bede om et værelse mod floden. Da letbanen kører lige uden for vinduet.

Problem med adgangsforhold

Hotellet ligger centralt, hvilket p.t. giver problemer da centrum er lukket for kørsel. Nærmeste parkering er 7-800 m. væk. Parkering er ubevogtet.

personnel extremement serviable

J'etais a Besancon pour le travail et, a mon arrivee, j'ai eu un probleme de chargeur avec mon ordinateur. Le gerant de l'hotel s'est veritablement mis en quatre pour m'aider a resoudre mon probleme et il a ete incroyablement serviable. La chambre etait propre et spacieuse, ainsi que la salle de bain. Hotel tres accessible de la gare, en plein centre ville. Restaurants malheureusement fermes.

Koselig intimt hotell

Et veldig sjarmerende lite hotell, med kanskje 15 rom fordelt over 3 etasjer. Nyoppussede rom, rent og pent, helt grei enkel frokost. For prisen et utrolig bra sted! Veldig hyggelig betjening.
