The staff at the hotel was lovely! The room was spacious and clean. The Hotel breakfast buffet was really nice. They had a lot of options to choose from. Locatio is very close to the train station which is very convenient, and it is also a short walk away from the city center.
I recommend staying here!

Good value for the money and easy accessible. We only were in Besancon for one night during traveling back home from Bordeaux. Overall the hotel shows good value for the money. Breakfast was of good quality and good selection. Only the bathroom needs to be updated, especially the toilet.

Good stop off point
Good hotel near to station and easy stroll into town
Lovely hotel room although it is a premium room. Very spacious with toilet separate to shower room. It looks like it would wheelchair friendly. Lovely shower one downside is the small hand basin. Very difficult to use without splashing water everywhere.
Great location right next to the station and if the walk into the old town seems too far, the tram takes you into the centre.

Service dog with service papers was rejected. Traveled 10 hours and needed sleep. France law requires to not discriminate and hotel expressed that they are above the law.
The air conditioning did not work. It ran but never cooled. I slept on top of the sheets. The desk person said the air was turned on but just needed time to cool. The room was nice. Hotel is close to a oark

Car parking poor. The car park was full and the overflow arrangement with the local railway station is not user friendly. It took 30 mins to exit car park with hotel issued tickets which fail to raise exit barrier.
Separately, wifi not accessible . Not acceptable in today’s age.
Hotel layout weird and signage to some rooms disappears long before you’re close to room.
I would not return to this hotel.
Très bien situé avec possibilité de stationnement.
Très bon petit déjeuner.
Chambre confortable et spacieuse

Kein Service ohne Personal
Der Mangel an Personal ist spätestens beim Frühstückbuffet zu sehen, das längst nachgepflegt werden müsste - aber Gäste am Check-Out warten auf dieselbe Person. Wenn dann auch die Kaffeemaschine streikt, macht's keinen Spass mehr.
Die Sauberkeit war klar unterdurchschnittlich. Laub vom letzten Herbst lag auf der Frühstückterrasse, das geht einfach nicht im August im 4-Stern-Hotel.
Excellent séjour dans cet hôtel très reposant. L’accès gratuit à l’espace bien être la semaine est un plus, dommage que ce soit payant le week-end. Belle piscine.
Petit-déjeuner buffet très complet malgré un problème de réassort durant notre séjour, et tout de même un peu cher (18€)Chambre spacieuse avec balcon et literie très confortable.
En lui même l'hôtel est tres bien spa au top propre neuf salle de sport piscine chambre propre confortable..mais en ce qui concerne certains membres du personnel c'est une autre histoire a notre arrivé nous avons attendu 15 minutes dans l'entrée la personne nous avais vu mais se déplacé pas et il a oser nous dire je ne peux pas me couper en deux alors qu'il ranger la cuisine!Ensuite le deuxième jour la femme de menage n'avait pas de drap house 1 place dans son charriot et na pas pu changer nos draps! Obliger de réclamer du papier wc et des grandes serviette de douche! Au spa c'est dommage le 1er jour il y avait des gobelets pret de la fontaine a eau et le deuxième jour le neant.. personne viens vérifier si on n'a tout ce qu'il faut au spa en ce qui concerne le petit déjeuner a 18e par personne manque de pain et plein d'autre choses on ose nous repondre il y a plus de pain on a pas prevu assez il etait9h45 et le déjeuner et servi jusque 11h..Restaurant fermé le soir et midi .. et pour finir obligé payer 30e le spa le week-end sa serais juste bien de remettre les informations a jour! Dans tout ça on nous a comme même offert un spritz merci a la dame de l'accueil le lundi matin qui j'espére a pris note de mes remarques.
Réservation de restaurant, de taxi,...un accueil très pro, efficasse et agréable, chambre confortable (j'apprécie le noir intégral quand je dors) et calme !!! pas un bruit, super spa en plus !!!!
près de la gare, parfait pour laisser sa valise pour repartir !!!
En déplacement professionnel, je suis ravie de ma nuitée, la chambre spacieuse, propre, baignoire et douche, balcon, insonorisée
Personnel serviable et agréable
Pas grand chose à rapprocher
Peut être une petite avancée de toit sur le balcon pour pouvoir en profiter pleinement
Je reviendrais avec plaisir
Quelques points + : le personnel, le spa (jacuzzi, hammam, sauna, douche sensorielle), le ménage, l'état général de la chambre et de l'établissement, la proximité de la gare
Et des points - : la taille de la chambre pour une personne, la décoration très minimale, le petit-déjeuner peu enthousiasmant (surtout au niveau charcuterie et fromage), l'absence de mini-bar.
Wir sind am Sonntag angereist und hatten fast keine Möglichkeit in der nahen Umgebung etwas zu Essen zu bekommen.
Das Hotel selbst können wir sehr empfehlen.
