Besancon Hotels with Bars

A budget hotel with decent comfortable rooms albeit quite striking in a lime green colour scheme. Comfortable bed and free parking. Small pool, unheated and therefore very cold. Breakfast was a joke, tables not cleared and items not restocked which resulted in considerable frustration for those trying to have a meal and get on their way. This needs to be addressed by the management.

Glad we chose Mercure for our 4-night stay. For a 4 stars, the rooms are small. However the furniture, the beds are very good quality. Staff was polite and professional and friendly. Location is excellent! We enjoyed crossing through the park and a bridge to reach town within 5 minutes walk. The parking was a huge plus. Breakfast is offers great choice and has quality products. Staff very professional and courteous. Bathroom amenities are basic but good quality shower and shampoo. Nothing else. Do carry your own. Will definitely recommend this hotel and will return again.

I stayed here for 4 nights during the heatwave! Fortunately the air conditioning was very good. Usual Ibis room, comfy bed decent bathroom with good shower. Hotel is only a few yards from the bus and tram stop and the tram goes to the railway station which is better than the 20 minute uphill walk! Hotel is only a short walk from the main square, shopping streets, restaurant area and the river. Buffet breakfast was a good start to the day and all the staff were helpful and friendly. My first stay in Besançon and I'd gladly stay here again.

My wife and I stayed at this hotel from the 13th - 18th August 2022, In the evenings we would have two drinks before going to bed, the bar stays open until midnight, One of the nights there was no bartender as she left early, which left the night porter whom I'd never seen before, I approached him and ordered drinks to which he said the bar was closed, i politely reminded him of that the closing time was (midnight) so he got the drinks, albeit reluctantly, i paid him and said we would probably like another one, he said no we weren't getting any more, so as not to annoy him we only had 1 drink. On her way to our room as i finished my drink, my wife asked him for a glass of iced water as she had done every night, Suddenly I heard shouting so I look to see it's the porter shouting at my wife ”no you are getting no water” he screamed at her, trying to reason with him she said ”it's just a glass of water” but the porter aggressively persisted she would have no water, I told him he was a very rude person and that I was reporting him to the manager. The next morning we went to the manager with our complaint but to my surprise she wasn't one bit sympathetic towards us, she just said that she would have a word with him, she didn't even offer us an apology, When we came back the following night the same porter was on duty again but so was the bartender, we were having our drink when we overheard the porter saying to the bartender that he wasn't going to serve us anything, We are both in our mid sixties and in all our years of travel we've never felt so embarrassed or intimidated by a member of staff and over something as trivial as a glass of water! The incident completely soured our stay and really let the hotel down in how A) they let this happen and B) how they handled it. Truly appalling behaviour towards guests. Needless to say we will never be staying at this hotel or any hotel associated with it again...

It offers views of the tree-lined park, the medieval walls, the city and the Doubs Valley. All of the rooms feature parquet flooring and a private bathroom with a bath or shower. They also have a flat-screen TV, telephone and a desk. Some rooms offer a view on the garden and on the city. Breakfast is served every morning in the dining area, on the terrace or can be brought to your guest room upon request. You can also relax on the west-facing terrace with a drink from the bar. Guest can access the spa upon reservation and for an additional fee. Hôtel Restaurant Spa Le Sauvage is a 10-minute walk from the Musée du Temps and just 2 km from Besancon Viotte Train Station. Shops and restaurants can be found within a 10-minute walk. Private parking is available at a surcharge and free WiFi internet access is provided.

Without surprise. The campaniles are all configured on the same model. But time has had its effect and the equipment is a little outdated. Cleanliness of the room and bathroom correct without being exemplary. Average soundproofing. Comfortable bedding and effective blinds at the window which allow you to sleep in the dark. Very complete breakfast buffet. Restaurant not tried. Average reception: depends on the interlocutors. Very professional night watchman, receptionist too. The woman who takes care of breakfast, on the other hand, is rather unpleasant.

First, the walk from the train station through Rue Battant may make you question your choice of destination as it runs through a poor, but safe, neighborhood. The surroundings are more favorable with fewer deserted storefronts when you cross Pont Battant. The hotel street, however, just across the river, appears from the outside to be a bit rundown. The hotel itself foes not run the whole block as it may appear in pictures; it is only 1 doorway. Once you gain access to the hotel by ringing the doorbell, you will be buzzed into the ”lobby,” a dark area with a large desk where you will eventually meet the proprietor, a hard-working man who serves as manager of the hotel, sets up the limited breakfast buffet (it is not worth the 13 euros charged per person for cold cereal, pan au chocolate circled by flies from the open windows, juice, packaged yogurt, & a coffee-dispensing machine), & serves as waiter at the rear-facing restaurant downstairs. The man wanders in and out clearing breakfast dishes from previous breakfast guests, & one day, he offered us eggs to be made in the connected restaurant. He is, in fact, very nice and helpful, but the whole affair is very casual. The hotel is spread over 4 floors of 4 tiny rooms each, some of which have a lovely river view and some of which have a view of the busier square behind the hotel where cafes abound. Our room was adequate, and we didn't bump into each other much. There was a small wall-mounted TV (all French channels), mini fridge, & private bathroom with shower. After a day, we relaxed and got used to our accommodations. For the price (under 100 euros per night for the 2 of us), it was fine. At that price, you don't expect luxury, and we did not see any luxurious hotels on our walks around town. Town was charming.

Located in the city center, which is almost entirely pedestrian (as a customer of a hotel, you can drive in), this hotel cost half of the price of every other hotel we looked at. High points: they fit all five of us in one room, with two double (very firm) beds and a twin size bed. Everything was clean and in good working order (wifi Fi, tv, private bathroom facilities, lights, curtains, etc.). Staff was very kind and quick to respond. Excellent location with citadel bus and tourist train at the end of the street. Breakfast (additional fee) was excellent with many cold options such as croissants, cheese, a wide variety of fresh fruit, ham, boxed cereal, bread, and hot coffee, cocoa, and tea. Low points: hallway smelled faintly of cigarettes (room was fine). The elevator was too small for a wheelchair. I've got mild mobility issues so I pay attention to details pertaining to accessibility. The room was so small it wouldn't accommodate a wheelchair and I think a person with a walker or even a cane would find it uncomfortable or even inaccessible. The bathroom (a very narrow bath with handheld shower head) was a real challenge for me and I ended up needing my husband's assistance. That said, I spoke to the lady at the front desk. We were only staying for one night but I asked if I could call in future for a room with a shower etc. and she absolutely said that would work and they would arrange whatever we needed. So I recommend calling them (they speak English, German, and Spanish in addition to French) if you have any concerns. I don't know whether they have ground floor rooms that are wheelchair accessible, for instance. TL;DR: a great little place with very helpful staff, clean and very well located. Excellent price but don't expect luxury, just a pleasant stay, so long as you call for any specific needs in advance.
