this is a charming old building near the village center, but really only two star quality. We arrived at 2030 right after check-in time, and there was no clerk no staff in sight. We waited 10 minutes, then walked around the town. When we return, the receptionist was very accommodating. She made us some reservations for dinner and lunch the next day. The room was two flights of stairs with no elevator. The hallway was not clean, with cleaning carts and supplies stacked in the hallway. No coffee or shower soaps. The air conditioner was very difficult to operate and stopped running in the middle of the night. next morning we were running late because we didn’t sleep well. Checkout was 1100. At 11:10 and 1120 we got impatient phone calls from reception. Even though there was no cleaning staff on the floor. we checked out at 11:25 and again we’re lectured by the receptionist. I asked her to cancel our lunch reservation because we were not hungry. She said that is not very considerate. All at all, the experience left us upset and unhappy.

Lovely Rooms, Lovely Town.

The town of Arbois is beautiful and the Hotel is right in the center of it. Easy access to the countryside and other nearby villages in the Jura too. Plenty of great options for eating and drinking within a short walking distance. The managers and staff are super nice and knowledgable.

Overnight stay on way to UK from Italy. Room was comfortable and clean without any frills. Unfortunately breakfast not included (although was when booking was made!). Better off booking direct with hotel. Lovely meal in the restaurant (Brasserie) across the street on the corner( sorry forgot name) with friendly staff. Nice little town would recommend.

happy stop along the way

This is a gem in a tiny French town that I am so glad we stumbled upon. While they do not offer an elevator nor air conditioning, they were not missed for the warm hospitality and welcome we received. They were kind enough to provide us with fans in each room, and the town is so lovely that we could leave our windows open at night and sleep quite comfortably. the tiny wine bar on the ground floor offered some fun wines and a place to watch the world cup with some fun locals. they also have a fabulous outdoor seating area to sip wine and watch the world go by.

Un hôtel bien situé

L'hotel est idéalement situé à deux pas de la place principale d'Arbois. La chambre est propre, équipement minimum mais il faut mentionner que la chambre est climatisée avec en plus un ventilateur au plafond ce qui a été très agréable en ce week-end caniculaire. Seule la salle de bains nécessite quelques petits travaux (chasse d'eau capricieuse, joints de la douche à refaire et le revêtement du mur qui se décolle). La propriétaire était soucieuse de répondre à nos attentes et le petit déjeuner très varié (sucré, salé).
