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.

Lousy front desk service

Service at the front desk was terrible. We were forced to pay on Saturday night although we were leaving on Sunday. There was no soap and no toilet paper in the room. When called the front desk about and she said she will arrive but never did. I went downstairs and she gave me a small bottle of shower gel for two and told me to get the toilet paper from a counter in the restaurant area. She mentioned she mentioned she will refill the shower gel dispenser and never did. Reviews at Google maps have a strong focus on the bad service at the front desk. Rooms are ok-ish but start looking old. Bed was nice and clean.
