Mama Shelter Dijon
Aloft by Marriott Dijon
"Well kept hotel. Clean rooms and very friendly and helpful staff. It’s in an amazing location for exploring the old town. The breakfast was not as good as it could have been. It is served in a small area with insufficient seating for everyone but that is a small point given what else they offer"
