Briançon hotels

Pros: Excellent hotel with great breakfast downtown Briancon. Easy to park.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: We arrived very late at the hotel but the staff did not seem to mind

Pros: Nice breakfast

Pros: Lovely location, ideal to walk up to the old town. Bathroom really nice, staff very friendly. Secure parking.

Pros: Quirky decor, good food. No A/C but it didn't matter. Location is good, and the quality is typical or better than many Briancon hotels.

Cons: No shampoo.

Pros: A quaint little hotel with modern rooms and nice decor. Situated in the old town, so it is not possible to take the car all the way to the hotel. We were late for check in, but it was all solved on telephone and we could get into the room really late at night. We were given a card to be able to go into the restricted area with our car and found parking there without a problem. There were some problems with boiling the eggs at breakfast, but that may well have been user errors, hehe. Otherwise ample breakfast. Pauline, who was good at English, gave us excellent advice about where to hike, thank you for that.

Cons: As we had our room on the top floor, there were quite a few stairs to climb. An elevator would have been handy.

Pros: We have stayed here several times now over the last few years and this place never disappoints. The rooms are clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. Beds are comfortable and the bathrooms modern. Well located inside the citadel. Good breakfast and friendly staff. English spoken.

Cons: Nothing to complain about with the exception of WIFI signal in rooms could be better.

Pros: Quaintness of the old town and being able to have drinks on the ramparts of the Vauban fort while watching the sunset.

Cons: Very noisy given it is in the centre of the old town, but this may have been an exception as the police had to come to stop a guy doing maintenance.

Cons: Small room

Pros: Good motorcycle parking, clean room comfy bed,walls are a bit thin but other than that a good hotel, vending machine serves beer always a bonus

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Comfortable room with nice views and friendly helpful staff

Cons: The location is excellent if you arrive by car as it is just a short uphill walk to the old city. However, it is located just over halfway up a hill from the new to the old town. There were no taxis available when we arrived by train, and being in our 70s we found the walk of about 6-700 metres on the flat followed by 4-500 metres up a quite steep hill with baggage to be too much for us. Could not get wi-fi reception in our room and had to go to public area.

Pros: Nothing stands out, but generally a perfectly good hotel for the price. Clean, good nights sleep.

Cons: Breakfast pretty poor.

Pros: Great location in centre of Briancon.

Cons: Bad soundproofing.

Pros: Staff were warm and welcoming Bed was comfy Breakfast was good

Pros: The room was comfortable, the breakfast as expected, and the breakfast room was bright and inviting. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.

Pros: Location in center.

Cons: Smell bad from toalete room, afternoon noise from the cars in the street. In the night it was quiet.

Pros: It was convenient for us as we were driving through the Haute Alpes. We walked up to the old town during the day which was great but drove back at night to eat at an excellent restaurant (Au Plaisir Ambre) - much better than the one around the corner in Rue Centrale from the hotel. Close to the funicular which we went up to the Serre Chevalier on - that was fabulous. Breakfast was also fine and we thought the choices were good and when we got still warm croissants on the Sunday morning were very pleased indeed.

Cons: It was a little bit noisy but we managed

Pros: The size of the room. Car park facilities. Near a large supermarket and a laundrette. Busy hotel for tourists ,cyclists , bikers. Staff looked after the arrangements for securing the storage of cycles and motor bikes.

Cons: The outside of the hotel was not clean. Needs to be cleaned to get rid of discarded cigarettes. Dogs allowed into buffet breakfast. People stroking their dogs then handling serving utensils. The restaurant only served a basic burger and fish and chips menu.

Pros: The location was amazing, right in the heart of the town with a gorgeous view over the square. Communication beforehand was really easy and the apartment was clean and had everything we needed!

Pros: Great location in old town, walking distance to bars, restaurants and shops. Room was nicely furnished, spotlessly clean, comfy bed and small kitchen for breakfast/coffee.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The city

Cons: Appartment was dirty, very minimalise, bad kitchen gear, the shower water didn’t flush away well

Pros: The location within the old city was great. The surrounding area is magnificent. The apartment was fairly spacious.

Cons: Bad smell on arrival to later realise this was under the sink with a bucket catching a drip rather than it having been fixed. The general maintenance was bad with cupboard doors hanging off, holes in the floor, kettle broken. Whilst in a good location, the apartment did not look as homely or the same as the photos and generally poorly maintained.

Pros: The apartment was lovely and clean. It was also well equipped for everything and we need. It is also in a fantastic location! We will be returning!

Pros: Extremely kind staff, wonderful location, nice building, comfortable bed. A true surprise on our way.

Pros: The staff are friendly and helpful at this mountain-lodge style hotel. Rooms are very comfortable and clean. The breakfast is good. There is good parking. Having a balcony was nice too. Excellent value and I would stay again. (Probably worth packing some earplugs in case those in neighbouring rooms decide to get up very very early.)

Pros: Friendly staff, nice location

Pros: Low-budget hotel with reasonable price. It is situated within 20 minute walk from the center. There is all you can expect with own balcony. The chap in the reception didn't speak good english.

Pros: Service and personal attention of the staff

Cons: Better Breakfast

Pros: The breakfasts were very nice and the staff was friendly.

Cons: The showers had a lot of problems. At first there was almost no water pressure, then there was no water at all for a short while. Later on the heating and hot water stopped working for a morning...

Pros: Good access to a number of ski resorts. We visited Serre-Chevalier, Claviere and Montgenèvre over our three day stay. Great snowboarding. Hotel is cosy and great value. Rooms where clean and comfortable. Staff are really helpful. Free wifi access useful.

Cons:

Pros: Everything about our stay was a pleasure, particularly the friendliness and professionalism of the manager. Our only regret is we weren't able to stay longer!

Cons:

Pros: Probably the views from the balcony as we had french doors and another window facing the mountains.

Cons: Although hotel had rustic feel about it furniture needs to be renewed. Limited choice of breakfast I.e same thing every morning . Asked for cheese - not available Ham was given when asked for .

Pros: The staff are brilliant. Katy has a great team who are welcoming and friendly. Huge thanks to Kevin, Nora and especially Katy. They all made our stay giving us their local knowledge and pouring the Jupiler.....

Cons: Only thing lacking for the Summer months is Air Con especially when the weather is hot hot hot

Pros: The bed was comfortable, the breakfast buffet was good (except I like tea in the morning and the only hot water came from a coffee maker, so was not hot enough for tea and had coffee residue in it - horrible) and my sat nav had no trouble finding it.

Cons: We arrived on a Saturday late afternoon and the receptionist spoke practically no English. This is unusual for a 4* hotel that has already written to me in perfectly good English. She denied I had reserved a parking place or booked for dinner, so I had to show her the confirmatory email to that effect. After much more tinkering with the computer, she finally gave me the access details to the car park, where my car was blocking the entrance. We then had to pay for everything in advance, including the cost of dinner. Our room was on the 5th floor and called a suite. It was so tiny we had to play ‘excuse me’ every time we went anywhere. The place was also exceedingly hot, there being no air conditioning and the outside temperature around 34C. We had booked this room so my partner had access to a balcony, which was actually larger than the bathroom but sadly just a paved box with two exceedingly unprepossessing and uncomfortable solid plastic chairs - although they looked more like concrete. No table or anything to put your cup down on etc. We moved one of the bedside tables - a block of wood - out there. The spare room was under the eaves and the beds were located in the only bit of the room it was possible to stand up in. There was one electric socket for the whole of that room and not many more in the main bedroom. Two fans were provided, one for each room, but as they were just table fans, one had to improvise with the bedside tables to get the breeze up at a reasonable height to be of any use. There was a decent coffee maker but only paper cups, not our idea of 4* service. Dinner was in a basement room with access to a few tables on the pavement outside. It was a three course buffet, much as you can get in a decent motorway service station in France. The wine came from a barrel and there seemed to be no other choice. Similarly water was served by the carafe instead of the more usual bottles.

Cons: Arrived late to very unfriendly host. Hard to find and limited parking. Rooms are small and outdated. Beds uncomfortable. Bed was dirty and soda in fridge had half empty cans.Arrived late to very unfriendly host. Hard to find and limited parking. Rooms are small and outdated. Beds uncomfortable.

Pros: The rooms were clean. The hotel restaurant was very friendly and very tasty. The breakfast was also very good.

Cons: There was no airconditioning and the fan that was placed in the room did not work. I had tried to reserve a parking spot, but never got a confirmation from the hotel and therefore no spot on arrival. I wouldnt expect a customer requesting to pay for parking to have to also go looking for a confirmation, but rather the hotel to inform the customer whether or whether not parking is available.
