Very Disappointed

Stayed for two nights, parking was a plus at 15 euro a night, Hotel position was perfect. Breakfast was good The major down side was our room, it was small and so dark and dingy, lighting was dull, we couldn’t open the curtain because we were at street level and the public road and footpath were directly outside. Bathroom was made small, dominated by extra large shower cubicle which left no room for anything else I can only assess my opinion on my room Staff friendly

Small but fine

Hotel is okay. Staff friendly, except breakfast restaurant. WiFi is a pain for business use.

10/10 Exceptional

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

Wichtig!! Vor Buchung des Hotels bei Anreise mit Auto einen Parkplatz in Textform zusichern lassen. Das Hotel hat kaum Parkplätze. Diese sollte man daher vorher reservieren, was jedoch ins Auge springend nicht erkenn bar ist, da dort von "parking en libre service" gesprochen wird. Die Empfehlungen des Empfangs , wo man dann parken könnte , ist unbrauchbar. Es gibt nur kostenpflichtige auf 3 Stunden begrenzte Parkmöglichkeiten, es sei denn man kommt nach 19 Uhr und geht vor 9Uhr, da ist Parken kostenlos, wenn man noch einen Platz findet. Die Stadt kennt wohl das Problem, am Abend steckten viele Tickets an Fahrzeugen und am Morgen liefen uns auch 3 Kontrolleure über den Weg . Schlecht für unsere Anreise gegen 14 Uhr. Über Kosten anderer Parkplätze hatte der Empfamg nach seiner Auskunft keine Ahnung . Wir fühlten uns hier über den Stich gezogen. Das Zimmer selbst war gut mit großem Badezimmer. Die Klimaanlage war leider etwas geräuschvoll, das Zimmer hellhörig. Unser Standardzimmer war in der Remise zur Straßenseite gelegen. Nachts ist wenig Verkehr, das Fenster kann geöffnet werden. Ab gegen 6 Uhr morgens rauschen dann Fahrzeuge vorbei , das ist recht laut und dann sollte man das Fenster schließen. Das Hotel liegt nahe des EURvelo 6 Fahrradweges und ist für Radfahrer gut geeignet.

Chambre propre et calme. Par contre bien réservé le parking sinon assez difficile de se garer dans la rue. Hôtel à recommander.

Det er nu 6. gang vi bruger hotellet til overnatning til eller fra bilferie i syd Europa. Super hyggeligt hotel som ligger i gå afstand fra centrum og restauranter. Dejlig morgenmadsbuffet i rigtig hyggelige omgivelser, kan klart anbefales.

Bien mais

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié l'emplacement de l'hôtel, en plein cœur de Besançon. L'équipe est très sympathique et l'établissement est d'une propreté irréprochable. L'environnement est également très calme, ce qui est un plus. Cependant, le rapport qualité-prix du petit-déjeuner n'est pas bon. Il pourrait être amélioré pour justifier son prix.
Nathanael, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Bien mais,

Attention de bien réserver votre parking pas de place pour tout le monde. Rien sur le site. Chambre simple mais propre en rapport avec le prix par contre fenêtres donnant sur un mur à 3 mètres avec voisins donc aucune vue rideaux fermés tout le long du séjour et chambre allumée également. Petit déjeuner bien.
Carine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Séjour agréable.

Nous avons apprécié l’accueil, l’emplacement, la taille de la chambre. Chambre qui mériterait d’être rafraîchie. Un regret en été. Aucun extérieur. La salle de petit déjeuner est jolie, voûtée en sous sol mais ne dispose d’aucune fenêtre. Claustrophobes s’abstenir.

Agréable soirée au Best Western Citadelle

Venu pour une soirée à Besançon à l'occasion d'un spectacle au Scénacle, j'ai été ravi de pouvoir bénéficier d'un logement à proximité immédiate de la salle de spectacle, celui-ci étant propre et comprenant toutes les commodités pour y passer un bon séjour.

Un ancien client qui ne viendra plus

Déjà pas de place sur le parking et rien dans les rues... galère quand on arrive à minuit.On m'a répondu bien sûr c'est écrit ... Sèche cheveux, une lumière ne fonctionnait, ne parlons même pas de la télé.... Je suis un ancien client, j'y allais souvent autrefois... maintenant ce sera jamais. Même pas un seul produit circuit court au petit déjeuner...
