Besançon hotels

Pros: Good place for stopover in the trip to Spain. surronding looks better as on pictures. Good value for money.

Pros: The internet

Cons: Nothing really.

Cons: no power outlets, no towels, no soap

Pros: It was value for money

Cons: The toilets were discussing people weed on the floor and toilet seat

Pros: It was a low budget hotel, so we knew what to expect. The staff was friendly and helpful. They cared a lot for the cleanliness of the facilities. It was really warm in our room (we were glad, for it was mid winter).

Cons: The rooms are extremely tiny (you care not to break anything when you turn around). We missed free city maps, which are usually available at the reception. The location is a little off the city centre.

Cons: Strong tobacco smell in the hall. Night concierge took more money for breakfast than should(

Pros: The location is very good - near to the old town and citadelle - and other sightseeing places

Cons: The stuff tried to charge more than booked with booking.com - No bottled water in the room.

Pros: The room is a classic Íbis. Really clean, good bed, good space in general, simple but good bathroom. The hotel restaurant is really really good, it was a surprise how good it was! We arrived at night and had dinner there, which was perfect since we have a small baby. The food was awesome!! Recommend!

Cons: The breakfast was really simple, there was no bread at all at 9:30 (it ends 10:00) and it was around 10 euros per person, too expensive! Also , the parking for the car was around 10 euros. Those costs increased a lot the final price for the stay.

Pros: Hotel generell

Cons: Restaurant: The choice of dishes in the restaurant is limited. Instead of a cheese platter that is not offered, a slightly bigger piece of Camenbert was served without further ado and then charged twice. Also one drink was charged too much. This means that the restaurant is not recommendable.

Pros: Good hotel according to IBIS standard. Good to spend a few nights

Cons: Access to parking lot is quite complicated. You need to check-in first, to get the code to enter the parking lot. Unfortunatelly it's a one way street, so you need to circle arround the block after you got the code. Would have been nice to know this procedure in advance. In the late evening it's a bit frustrating.

Pros: Friendly helpful staff. Nice bar food

Cons: Very hard bed. Decor in rooms from the 60s/70s and needs updating

Pros: Location and great parking. The hotel is close to the old town proving many opportunities for food and drink. Besançon is a bustling centre positioned ideally for a journey through the Jura. Great value for money.

Cons: Nothing I can think of...

Pros: Great location, close to the city centre, for walks, restaurants and bars. Clean room and decent shower. Freindly and accomodating staff. Good overnight waypoint.

Cons: Well, the price of breakfast was pretty steep (and was not ordered). The bed was a little firm for my liking.

Pros: The staff at the reception, in the restaurant and the housekeeping are incredibly helpful and friendly. The hotel is clean and well organised. We had everything we needed in the room. Free private parking was a good surprise. Breakfast was great, lots of choices, fresh fruits and lovely yogurts.

Cons: The only little problem we had was the bed. It was comfortable if you sleep on your half.. basically it was 2 single beds together and the gap in the middle wasn't pleasant.

Pros: Location and price

Cons: OK needs renevation

Pros: The location was great, with on-site free parking - bed very comfortable

Cons: Bathroom panel needs replacing

Pros: Convenient located at the edge of the City, easy to reach by car. Parking for free at the hotel

Pros: Will not stay there anymore , wont give it 2 stars

Cons: there was nothing i have actually liked

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: A nice, clean room, good for our short stay. Had all the things we needed like a hairdryer. Shower was good.

Cons: Wouldn't stay much longer than a night. Breakfast was not good value for money, the floor in the breakfast space was sticky, there were flies everywhere.

Pros: The breakfast

Pros: First night of a touring holiday by car.. easy to find, close to motorway, ample free parking onsite. Great to find it had a swimming pool after travelling 500 miles in a hot car!! Great outside seating area, the location is not pretty but was secluded by large trees and a nice terrace with umbrellas. Clean and comfortable room/bathroom, with a good buffet breakfast choice. Nice that there was a bar/restaurant on site as there did not seem much else to use nearby. Friendly polite reception staff.

Cons: The bar/restaurant was not easy to get served at... although there were staff available and it was not at all busy, they seemed unwilling and not friendly,being watched over by a grumpy manager they appeared to be scared of?!. Very expensive beer.. bad measures, not filling the glass. Also after a swim and a beer, getting changed came back down for dinner but was told by rude staff we did not have a reservation (for an Ibis?!). There were clearly tables available. . eventually, reluctantly, we were lead to a table inside and told where to sit . . we wanted to eat outside on the terrace as it was a lovely warm evening and we had been in a car all day.. they took so long to come to serve us we walked out and did not eat that night! :-(

Pros: Basic breakfast, according to french standard with fresh orange juice. Free coffee and tea all day long, provided at the lift.

Cons: Room was ok, but you can see that many people already stayed there. Bed wasn't that comfortable.

Pros: breakfast was great good choice resturant just down road not bad room good, good nighs sleep

Cons: was all ok

Cons: Was not as in the booking. Only double bed without the single on top:(

Pros: The girl of the reception desk was very kind. She solved a problem with the door of our room very fast.

Cons: Room are smelling. Likely due to former time when smoking was still allowed in the room.

Pros: The hotel is in a very old (16th century) building, but is well renovated/modernized, keeping some of the old charm. Breakfast was very nice, especially the setting in the old cellar.

Cons: The room was just a little small, and the sky-light window did not allow for a view.

Pros: Charming staff

Pros: Very warm welcome from reception, nice reception area. Breakfast very good, lots of choice. Close to the centre and all tourist attractions.

Cons: Maybe scrambled eggs could be done to order if only a few guests. The room we stayed in was on the top floor and sold to us as an upgrade but it appeared quite small especially as the poorly designed curtain fitting seemed to take up a lot of space.

Pros: The welcome from the lady at reception who spoke beautiful English was what started a great short stay. Great proximity to many restaurant options. The room was lovely, clean and very quiet. We could not fault and will gladly stay here again.

Pros: Greate location to visit downtown of Besancon

Cons: Only weather ;)

Pros: Good bar snacks available.

Cons: Not a dislike but access to rear parking would be tight for a large car.

Pros: Really helpful staff, modern fresh room that exceeded expectations, very central location - all the key sights were a short walk away and close to restaurants.

Cons: Whole building was a bit warm (more so than you would expect for the outside temp) so had to resort to drying Aircon at night. Would have preferred to have just slept with the windows open but think we must have hit Besancon during Freshers week!

Pros: This is a comfortable basic hotel without frills, but the location is excellent. A big advantage is the on-site parking for only $8 a night.

Pros: The shower was amazing apart from not having any handle to pull the door close. The location was perfect.

Cons: I don't know who pick up the toilet seat design or who even though it was a good idea to design it in the first place but it is really poor. Not designed for a grown up man anatomy at all. You could have had a normal one fixed on the otger wall ( at 90 degree from where it is now - room 210-) Ridiculous. When design takes over practicality and fonctionality. There was no handle to pull the shower door close. Fairly pricy for a hotel of that standard. Ibis hotel used to be affordable for the level of comfort they bare.

Pros: Clean and comfy, coffee available in the room, maybe a bottle of water could be nice.

Cons: Breakfast was average, some more choice would be great.

Pros: Breakfast and staff

Cons: The hotel is in desperate need of a refurbishment. The rooms are untidy and the carpets worn. The bed is comfortable though. Not to Kyriad usual standard

Pros: The price

Cons: None

Pros: The receptionist for arrival was very friendly and assisted us with questions concerning travel to the city centre by public transport. Location is convenient for drivers passing through for a short break before continuing journey.

Cons: The breakfast was OK but it was already empty (we woke up late but still in time); the girl at the reception didn't bother to re-fill the empty plates. We had to scrape off the last ham frozen onto the cold plate.

Pros: Good staff; clean room

Cons: Every day another bus full of Chinese people that all yell after 10pm (because they arrive at 9:15) and cook with their doors open, yell, shout...

Cons: I was very surprised to see that such a simple hotel is part of ibis chain! Very, very,very basic! We booked a triple room and we had to make the bunker bed ourselves! Toilet with no toilet seat, no curtain in the shower, shower wall in very bad condition, sink in bedroom, the double bed was badly made and during the night it became undone and we had the plastic mattress protector against our skin!!! Aghhh!! Was that bad that we laughed about it with! The only positive was that the shower had very good pressure. I can't rate the staff because we arrived after 9pm and we checked in ourselves with the night machine

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Everything

Pros: Breakfast was nice and the ibis is located in a silent part of town.

Cons: The room and bathroom were outdaded and not clean. The building seemed isolated and outdaded.

Pros: Open 24/7 which is good when you are traveling by car and arrive at late hours.

Cons: The room smelled mould and dust and the bathroom was tiny and plastiky. The cleaning lady entered the room 3 times between 8h30 and 12h which was the check out time while we were still asleep.

Cons: bathroom was so small and not good

Cons: dirty carpet. stench of cigarettes making breathing difficult. disgusting

Pros: The location of the hotel was good; close to shopping and restaurants.

Cons: The hotel was filthy. I didn't expect a lot of frills considering it is a budget hotel. We just needed a place to sleep over on our long road trip. However, I did expect the room to be clean. I cannot even believe how disgusting the room was. The walls and carpet were filthy. There looked to be old, smeared snot on the bunk above the double bed. The bathroom didn't look like it had been mopped out. The "air conditioning" barely cooled the room. Also, the room, despite being non-smoking, reeked of cigarette smoke. I will say the sheets, at least, were clean. Trust me...I gave them a close inspection. The man working at the front desk was rude to myself and my children, yelling at them for just standing on the grass under the shade of a tree outside. The only reason we did not leave was that we had already travelled a long day and decided to just suck it up for one night. Thankfully I travel with hand sanitizer!

Pros: The location.

Cons: The room had not been cleaned properly. Behind the second door to the room there were spiders and cobwebs. When we arrived to breakfast the next morning, which we had paid for the night before at check-in, there were no eggs left, nor pancakes. We were told that they could not replenish the breakfast buffet. We had to insist to be re-imbursed as initially they did not want to re-imburse the breakfast.

Pros: Location and staff

Cons: Old building like camping. No fridge in the room

Pros: Parking was available for free. Secured with a gate, the area must be a bit criminal.

Cons: The reception was not friendly. The room interior looked old. Water boiler looked also very old. Extra pillows had stains. Coffee machine at breakfast was not working, customers had to ask for help. The room price is not justified.

Pros: Simplicity and cleanliness

Pros: The staff is great. This my second stay

Cons: More quality toilet paper

Pros: This is a very good deal for the money. We were met by very friendly staff and felt welcome and well informed right away. Being scandinavian we really detest the bedlinen-system where the cover consists of a blanket with a bedsheet tightly fastened all around the mattress making you feel pinned down, and by loosening it all it make a mess of the covers and gives you a really unhygienic feeling about the blanket. We asked the staff when having dinner in their restaurant for an extra sheet to make it possible to sleep without having to share blanket and sheet, and were overwhelmed to find a huge, soft and warm comforter with a large sheet under it. Really comfortable - very good service!! Why don't they use this on all their double beds......

Pros: good location for food

Cons: had a nasty smell. we paid for 1 double and 1 single bed in each room. only had double so 3 in a bit was tight

Pros: Very clean

Cons: Room on 3rd floor facing the back. Very noisy neighbours. Smoky smell in the room

Pros: Breakfast was good but nothing superior. For 9,00 it is worth it.

Cons: Bugs in the bedroom in room 3 ground floor . Toilet backed up

Pros: Man at reception was very helpfull and littlebit english :) Good parking place and easy to find! Good ewening meal ( a lot )! Breakfast ok! Lot's of space in room! Wifi ok! Shower ok!

Cons: Room was cold and they do not put heat on until it is snowing!!!

Cons: Very basic. The "breakfast" is a joke. Not a hotel, but a hostel. I'm not complaining, just informing.

Pros: Was super for that money

Cons: .

Pros: The staff were lovely and accomodating. The room was quiet and comfortable. Warm lighting. The shower was strong and hot and the checkout was easy.

Cons: It was very basic but I think thats the style and purpose they are going for. It is in a sports centre so it must be for people that spend very little of their lives in bed. It was grand for one night. The wifi was too weak to connect on phone and laptop. The check out is early but its stated when you reserve. 9am! So for a sleep and go its grand.

Pros: The room was clean and convenient.

Cons: The place is like a student's hostel. Location not too far from the university in a very ugly neighbourhood with little or no conveniences. Canteen that serves basic dinner and breakfast.

Pros: Adequate for the type of accommodation

Cons: I could not make the television work

Pros: Very friendly staff. Checkin very quick. The residence is quiet and parking is plenty.. Rooms with en-suite bathroom excellent.

Cons: The breakfast is very basic, no fresh fruits but there is enough amd the bread was very fresh.

Pros: Everything great including the parking

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Hotel in its self was very nice, clean and a great location

Cons: Nothing, all was well

Pros: Perfect location. Very chic. Beautiful dining room. Would stay there again.

Cons: Nothing to dislike.

Pros: Location great - nice room comfortable bed

Cons: Machine coffee for breakfast

Pros: Location is great.

Cons: Hôtel de Paris is a small hotel in a quaint street in Besançon near everything in town. Location +++. It could be a great simple hotel with spartan decoration and tastefully groomed. Instead the rooms are stuffy and overheated, the bathrooms and bed are not as comfortable as you would like them to be. The staff is not the kindest and in all, the experience is not great. I guess staying here for a night is ok, but I must say the very positive reviews of this hotel are overrated.

Pros: Comfortable bed, nice bathroom. Parking available in courtyard. Right in centre of town. Excellent breakfast for EUR 13 per person.

Cons: Long corridor to get to bedroom. Dubious taste of chairs lining corridor from reception to front door, probably taking up too much space and not usable.

Pros: The rooms are clean and comfortable.

Cons: It was as expected

Pros: Hotel was immaculate, clean, modern and very welcoming, as were the staff. The bedrooms and en-suite were very spacious. We travelled with family, who had an adjacent room which made our adjoining terraces huge and very relaxing to sit in in the evening. We would highly recommend this hotel. We will return to this hotel and stay longer next time and visit this beautiful historic city

Cons: There was nothing we can think off

Pros: room, service

Pros: We stay here whenever we are in town. It is the best! Great people, great rooms, and great breakfast.

Cons: It is necessary to reserve rooms well in advance because they are so popular. However, if you can plan ahead, get your room early.

Pros: The best breakfast

Cons: All Ok

Pros: Location is v good and only 10 mins into the town. Quite large room with excellent shower and a bath. The spa is a great facility which we really enjoyed.

Cons: We did not have breakfast as we felt it should have been included given the price we had paid.

Pros: Great people, great structure, very good service.

Cons: The cleaning of the bathroom could be improved

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The service customer are very nice.

Cons: The internet is very bad.

Pros: The service minded receptionist.

Cons: Located in a not pleasant neighborhood. Mold in the bathroom. Generally pretty worn/run down.

Pros: Perfectly adequate

Pros: Not a lot

Cons: Very small room where the twin beds were pushed together with no space inbetween. The shower was really small with no space to effectively soap yourself. There were no places nearby to get a meal so had to drive 2k to find food

Pros: Nearby parking. Nearby tramway.

Cons: 1) To say the room was "very small" would be an understatement. It was minuscule! 2) The surroundings do not look safe.

Pros: Good value. Friendly and helpful staff.

Cons: Difficult to find. No kettle in the room. Wifi was very slow.

Pros: Good breakfast for the price. Location for an en route overnight was great and easy to find.

Pros: Good breakfast

Cons: Not easy to find as it was on a roundabout obscured by trees

Pros: Breakfast was good. Scrambled eggs excellent.

Cons: Dinner food chosen off the blackboard (Saute chicken and pasta) was overcooked and dry. Choice on the 'ardoise' was varied and good. There was no anti slip facility in the bath and I slipped over hitting the tap whilst showering. This turned the tap to max hot whilst I was lying in the bath. I drew blood splitting the skin on my elbow and hurt my back. I reported this to the management and told them to make a note against my booking. I did this in my French, but not sure they have noted it. A fellow quest understood my French and asked what happened, so there should not have been problem with my French.

Pros: The location was ideal for a one night stop over on route to Germany. Breakfast was good and plenty of choice. Room and bathroom very clean.

Cons: Accommodation and facilities were basic but suited our need at the time. Not exciting, however it was very cheap.

Pros: Rooms are comfortable. I was staying during cold weather which posed no problem (room, bathroom was warm). Staff were friendly and helpful. Location close to motorway good for a stopover, noise from street was not too bad. (This time I had a room at the backside of the hotel facing a parking lot. But also at a previous stay a room facing the "garden" of the hotel was not particularly noisy.) Breakfast was OK and worth the money.

Cons: I thought the coffee (from machine) was a bit bitter at breakfast. The disadvantage of the location is that the surroundings are not "nice", it is essentially a commercial area.

Pros: Great location and good food in restaurant.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Regular french chain hotel, nothing special, no atmosphere, breakfast was plain, but it's what you paid for, if you need to only spend the night to continue your journey the next day then this is an okay choice
