Cons: The bed it wasn’t comfy There was only one pillow each, please add more to the rooms

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

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very nice and friendly.

Pros: Nice breakfast

Pros: A very unique alpine style hotel, charming rooms and very nice welcoming staff. The breakfast was one of the best I have ever had in a hotel. Location is great for skiing and also for wandering around the old town (about 20 min walk)

Cons: The bathrooms are different in every room and ours was a bit awkward with a very tiny bath which was not really good for a bath neither a good shower. There is no lift so walking up to the third floor was a bit of unwelcomed extra exercise. But overall this was a minor issue and after all, we were there for a sports weekend!

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: Ideal location and friendly staff

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.

Pros: Perfect location in old town.

Cons: Slight smell in bathroom.

Pros: Great location, very helpful staff

Pros: Excellent location. Very central and convenient to explore old town.

Pros: Lovely location in a tiny street in a pedestrian area with good restaurants nearby.

Cons: Noise floating up from the street below, especially later in the evening!

Pros: Wonderful little Oberge in the centre of walled Briancon

Pros: There is nothing particularly to get excited about here and there is not a lot wrong with it. Its a simple deceptively large hotel in the old part of Briancon. Rooms are comfortable without being luxurious , it has a dining room which seemed popular although we didnt eat there. Its a bit complicated to find and parking is a bit of pot luck as the streets are very narrow and spaces are at a premium. Overall for the money its not bad value and the view from the ramparts of the old town is lovely.

Cons: As mentioned its not the easiest hotel to find. Breakfast was a bit of a disaster - the cycling party also staying wiped out most of the self service buffet !!. To their credit the hotel only charged us for 1 rather than 2 . Quite a lot of stairs if you have a room on the top floor.

Pros: Wonderful breakfast!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Ancient house of 300 years and well kept and updated for traveller's needes The host has a warm heart and has good taste for her house, nice view of Garden during breakfest cheerful and sunny.

Pros: Ok location on a (busy) street - quite a walk up to the old town. Very nice room with balcony :) The check in guy at reception is the spitting image of Robin Williams in a younger brother version !! :)))

Cons: Wifi was apalling outside of ground floor. Advertised is a garden, which we chose for our 2 beagles, but when asked "no, the garden is private " really ???? and parking has limited space - of which one is a big van of the hotel - how about moving the van and letting more parking space for hotel guests?

Old town shops on a slope with oodles of character, would definitely stay again

Pros: Parking area for motorcycles. Great view from backside of the hotel.

Cons: A bar was mentioned under the hotel facilities at www.booking.com. It turned out that the bar only served non-alcoholic drinks. In warm weather when you need to have the window open during the night you will have a lot of noise from passing vehicles if having rooms towards the street.

Pros: Friendly staff. Helpful. Convenient to old town

Cons: A little dated! Could do with a fresh decoration

Pros: Basic hotel close to the old town/fort. Our room was large with a balcony. Free parking right out front of hotel and/or across the street if full.

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: - great location for ski-touring - simple but very clean accommodation (mid-way between mountain hut and a hotel) - friendly staff - very good food for dinner and breakfast - nice atmosphere

Cons: - NA

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Everything

Pros: Location is good. Those rooms that have been redecorated/fitted are good but not uniformly so. I've stayed at the Vauban many times over the past 15 years but this is the first time under new management. The bar and restaurant areas are good.

Cons: Staff seem run off their feet. Car park FULL of tour group vehicles with trailers etc - for bikes various. Just about OK. One of my colleagues was woken by a MOUSE in his bedroom. Staff seemed somewhat unconcerned - maybe it's a new fixture... but we didn't ask for free-running vermin when we booked.

Pros: Staff very helpful and friendly, garage for our motorcycle

Cons: No gin in the bar

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: Breakfast is quality, the choice is great and very tasty. The location of the hotel is very good for travelers. Also for starting point of city tour.

Cons: I have no comment, keep it at that level.

Pros: Nice, clean room and bath

Cons: All good

Pros: Hotel was fine for our overnight stay!hotel provided us with complimentary bus tickets which took us directly to the old town! Well worth a visit! We also ate there, very good.

Cons: No air con

Pros: Really lovely clean and big room with a little balcony. The Plan B restaurant bar which is part of the hotel serves great food and there was a musical duo playing early evening on the Tuesday night I was there. I thoroughly recommend this hotel. I wanted to stay again on my return journey from Italy but the hotel was booked

Cons: Nothing, all good.

Pros: Friendly staff. Good location for an overnight “Grand Tour Des Alpes” stopover.

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: Very, very basic room, but clean. Great location right next to all services in Briancon. Friendly staff.

Cons: Our room looked out-dated, at least compared to pictures on Internet. Not the best value in August, at least compared to smaller skiing towns nearby. 10 € breakfast buffet was satisfactory, but kinda expensive for what it was. Our balcony was facing a very noisy street, but we managed to sleep still relatively well. Bike garage was advertised but ours were left to an unlocked skiing equipment room next to the reception. No bike washing equipment available.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Everything

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: Madam cleaned my clothes for free. My bicycle was stored securely.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: All ok

Pros: A Friendly welcome. Big car park, short walk to the town centre and park (about 1km) but quiet in the back with a good view of the mountains from the balcony.

Pros: The room was close to the town, about 20mins walk, the staff were always helpful, but no shops etc near to the hotel. The room is in need for redecoration & a bit of maintenance ( like the plug in the washbasin was too big for the waste hole)

Cons: The breakfast was NOT worth the 9 euros charge so we only had one, the rest of the time we drove to the local supermarket and had breakfast there

Pros: View was good. Staff friendly and helpful. Fridge downstairs available for cold food storage. Kettle also available.

Cons: Rooms were not soundproof. Could hear movement alongside and above. Room basic

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: Not much

Cons: The staff were off hand and rude. The restaurant was full of flies. The reception forgot to mention that the whole intersection in the front and side of the hotel was being resurfaced all through the night. You could not open the window because of the noise and the room was stifling. One small fan, which we had to keep on all night. The temperature was 35 plus when we arrived. The staff did not speak any English, not even a minuscule amount. We tried at least used google translate to communicate. Would not stay at this hotel again and would not recommend it at all.

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: Location

Cons: My GPS couldn’t find it even though it is in the center of town. Apparently Waze works better than Google

Pros: Breakfast was poor. Dinner was ok

Cons: Tables not cleared away in good time at breakfast

Pros: Everything! Superb hospitality!

Cons: Toilet paper was on low side:)

Pros: We liked the breakfast and the room we had was big and had a nice view. Location was good.

Cons: Unfortunately due to a miscommunication we paid for the room twice (once through booking.com and after we arrived the hotel asked us to put a deposit on our creditcard because the payment had not come through yet and later charged the card with the full amount). Now it's almost a month later and we have yet to be refunded. I have faith that the hotel will refund us but it is taking them quite long considering it should be obvious in the books that we paid them twice. Also the pool looks way bigger in the pictures but we still had a nice time using it.

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.

Pros: We did not have breakfast because of all the flies in the breakfast room

Cons: Small rooms. We weren’t informed that there was major road works going on all through the night. When we asked to belocatedatthe back of the hotel the woman just glared at us and turned her back.
