Best Western Citadelle Besancon

Das Hotel befindet sich im Hinterhof. Allerdings sehr geschmackvoll angelegt. Das einzig ärgerliche war, das wir, obwohl Reservierung getätigt, keinen Parkplatz bekamen und somit ca. 0,5 km bei Regen laufen mussten

Stayed in a classic room with a ‘Queensize bed’. The bed was alright, but definitely smaller than our 1.6m wide bed at home. The room was basic and clean. One of the towels was full of holes. (See pictures) Breakfast was a bit simple for €15,- pp, refilling took long, but it was still tasty. Friendly staff Overall a ’so so’ experience, could be worse, could be better.

Excellent hotel situated near to the Citadel and local restaurants. 5 min walk from the nearest tram stop. Reception staff (fluent in English) were welcoming and helpful. Breakfast buffet was great, French pastries, yoghurts, juices and hot drinks available. There is the main building where I stayed and an annex where some colleaues stayed...the annex has a seperate entrance next to the entrance gates and is right by the road and my colleague was woked at 5am by a rubbish lorry outside. No such problem in the main building where I was so would recommend staying in the main building if you can.

This hotel was nice and clean with very helpful front desk staff. The room requests were met to the last detail, which was greatly appreciated. The bedding was blissfully unfragranced and decent cotton - beds comfortable with extra pillows easily available. The only downside were the old air conditioning units that did nothing to keep the room cool at night which made for seriously sweaty evenings. Even though the nights cooled to around 16c by morning this made it extremely hard to sleep even with the window open. I can’t imagine how much worse it will be when temperatures get over 30c later in the summer! I’d have expected better from a Best Western on that aspect.

Great location, easy to find by car with the advantage of pre-bookable car parking. On the edge of the old town so perfect for walking to local restaurants, sites and shops. Also very easy walking distance up to the Cathedral and Citadelle. Reception staff were very helpful with maps and directions on check-in. Breakfast was excellent, a large well stocked buffet in a large spacious restaurant.

Secure bike storage, clean rooms, very friendly and helpful receptionist at check in (afternoon of 15th May), water dispenser in reception… all making it great for a bike stopover. Very well located for a visit to citadel and for EV6 bike path too. Only downside was that the rooms are on the dark side at night - no central ceiling light.

For once in France a hotel I really liked. Very friendly personnel at reception, the hotel is located just outside the centre with several convenient parking areas nearby. The building is historic and during the renovation it was decided to keep the old atmosphere and mix it with a modern decor. Really nothing to say about a pleasant stay. Reasonable price and in line with what was offered

Nice hotel in great location, short walk to the heart of the city. Friendly and helpful staff. Decent room, though the aircon struggled a little. Although there is some parking, this is limited so if you are planning to arrive by car/motorbike, ensure you reserve a parking space

It is our 2nd time in a Boutique Hotel, and 2nd time in a Villa turn to a Hotel. It is very charming, the Hotel Lobby is very inviting really so lovely. Unfortunately we just stay one night but we will definitely coming back. A very lovely , charming and friendly receptionist Klervie. The room we had is beautiful. The toilet and bath is spacious enough. Every thing that a guest needs is in a room safe, aircon, Nespresso minus GoergenClooney :). Only one thing though maybe more english and german chanel it was only Cnn. But overall is a must see and check-in Hotel you will not be dissapointed. Note: Parking need to be Reserve! If you don‘t get one Besacon is big enough to park your car.
