Hotel in zona Église Saint-Pierre, Besancon

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.

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.

Les chambres sont très sombres à l’intérieur , attention mieux vaut être loin des cendriers surtout le soir c’est bruyant et vous avez l’odeur de tabac, le parking pas top surtout quand les gens prennent trois places sinon le matelas est confortable

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...

First of all, the cost to stay here was cheap so I understand that it was not going to be luxurious in any way. We stayed for 1 night as we were visiting Franche-Comte. The location is just outside Besançon in a residential area. Handy for the tram and a short drive into the town. The staff were friendly enough. Our room was on the bottom floor. The hallway and our room were uncomfortably hot and stuffy. There was no air con in the room and, as it was a hot day, it was an uncomfortable temperature and difficult to sleep. The room was very basic. It reminded me of student accommodation. The bed wasn’t very comfortable and we had a thin pillow each. Otherwise, the room was clean. I personally wouldn’t stay here again but if you were looking for a one night stop for a cheap price it would be fine.

A Besançon pour le week-end nous avons passé une belle soirée, l'hôtel est propre et neuf, tout est à disposition pour passer un agréable moment (distributeur, jeux de sociétés, etc...) Une mention spéciale pour l'accueil, Da molto tempo non siamo stati accolti in questo modo in un hotel. Grazie per il piacere di tornare a Besançon
