Right in the centre of Besançon with easy walking all round. Staff were super- helpful given the annual market which had blocked the town centre making it very hard to reach. Old-fashioned but clean and comfortable.

The hotel's location was great to reach everywhere within the city. It is an old and nice building. The interior and the furniture was a little outdated, but still very clean and had a nice old-timey feeling. The breakfast was ok, but not very special. However, the most pleasing part of the stay was the staff of the hotel. They were very cordial, helpful, attentive and friendly. They really positively affected our stay.

Did the job.

First room was newly renovated. So the paint fumes were still present. Given a second room (no fuss). Parking was on the street, by the front door. Did not have breakfast. Staff was helpful, as I need to find a particular location. Hotel is an easy stroll to anywhere in old town. Wifi asks for a lot of information, in order to log in.
