Place is in a sorry condition, as soon as you hit the stairs you notice a weird stench, the building is old, I can hear the neighbors every time they walk around or flush the toilet. Not sure what was happening during my stay but there were doors being slammed repeatedly all afternoon. However, the place is equipped to accommodate cyclists and their bikes in the form of a dedicated secure storage space. For the price I would have expected the room to be better equipped and the place to be better maintained

Disappointing. Not Logis 3 star

How this hotel gets a 3 star Logis rating is beyond comprehension. It is very dated and in desperate need of redecoration. Room was ok and had been redecorated, but without any flair or imagination. On a more positive note, there is secure storage for cycles and the fixed price menu was very good, albeit in a dining room that was so brightly lit, it felt like an operating theatre. The hotel is in a central location but needs refurbishment.

Brief stay in Montbard.

We stayed only one night in order to visit a nearby abbey. The hotel was old but our room was comfortable,clean and spacious. The staff were very helpful. We enjoyed our gourmet dinner in the main dining room.we have no complaints.

Tired old hotel

It was a very old building, not well maintained with Internet that faded in and out. Our room had only a bath, no shower.

DISAPPOINTING HOTEL BUT VERY CENTRALLY LOCATED

You park in the street. There's no-one to help with luggage. Our room was hot and we had a poor night's sleep because of plastic-lined mattress protectors. Centrally located and fair value for money but probably the poorest 3 star hotel we stayed in during our 7 weeks abroad.

Très déçu

Séjour prévue sur 5 jours non consécutifs, j’ai annulé 4 jours car beaucoup trop de toile d’araignée dans la chambre. Une odeur dans les sanitaires et salle de douche qui est persistante et très désagréable. Le soin apporté a la chambre n’est digne d’un hôtel à 3 étoiles .
