Besancon: hotel con bar

Stayed for 1N whilst in Besancon. It was somewhat challenging to find the entrance to this hotel - my satnav took me to the right area but signposted the wrong side of the road, and because there was no lighting at all on the signage at the entrance to the road to the Ibis at night, it didn't catch my eye. So a few wasted drives past searching for the entrance to the parking garage in the wrong place. Room was good for the price. No issues on that front. Breakfast was continental. Average range of options. Price very reasonable, and competitive.

The location is lovely. The parc is quite pleasant and walking to the center of town is easy. The hotel seems not to have been renovated since the 1980's. The woman at the front desk when we arrived was just lovely, very friendly. The room however was disappointing. Bathroom had not been well cleaned, dust on the tp holder, the shower curtain (yes, a thin white polyester shower curtain) was dirty at the edge. The carpet hadn't been changed in years. The room served its purpose for one night. Where the experience went even further downhill was dinner in the restaurant. We had a deluge that evening and my husband recommended we just eat at the hotel. I suspected this was not a good idea but ok. The food was dreadful; they had to re-heat his dish twice, the service was fine, they tried but could not make it work. Fortunately they had a very good bottle of wine that only slightly made up for the meal. So to summarize, best stay somewhere else in Besançon.

Ho soggiornato una notte durante il mio viaggio dalla Normandia all'Italia, è in posizione comodissima a due minuti dall'uscita dell'autostrada, si trova in una zona commerciale quindi negozi, supermercato e fast food raggiungibili a piedi in pochi minuti. La camera era molto pulita e accogliente, perfettamente funzionanti tv, wi-fi, aria condizionata, c'era anche un bollitore con bustine di thè e caffè e biscotti, ma c'è assolutamente bisogno di una ristrutturazione, innanzitutto togliere la moquette, comprare un bollitore nuovo, ridipingere le pareti e ricordarsi di mettere la carta igienica in bagno!!! Per 57 euro (compresa la tariffa per il mio cane) la carta igienica la pretendo!!! Sicuramente non presenta gli standard di altri hotel Campanile, avrei dovuto dedurlo dal prezzo più basso della media...

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.

Un ottima struttura moderna e funzionale che offre anche una discreta mezza pensione nell'adiacente bistrot. Camera molto spaziosa con spettacolare bagno semicircolare, letto grande e comodo, macchina caffè Nespresso e bollitore per te,biscotti e bottiglia d'acqua. Parcheggio sotterraneo. Comodissimo per raggiungere il centro città che è proibito alle macchine tramite paletti elevatori : basta attraversare il ponte adiacente o passeggiare lungo il fiume per qualche centinaio di metri. La colazione ottima ed abbondante. Il posto giusto per vivere Besançon. .

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.

C'est absolument charmant. Un personnel souriant qui vous conduit jusqu'à votre place de parking et vice versa au moment du départ. Bonne literie et bon confort. Ne vous laissez pas circonvenir par la complexité du cheminement pour vous rendre à l’hôtel situé en cœur de ville, en zone semi piétonne. Osez affronter la borne qui s'escamotera très aimablement devant vous
