Hotel berhampiran Musée des Beaux-Arts et d'archéologie de Besançon, Besancon

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.

The Hotel de Paris was the perfect location from which to explore Bésançon for a few days. Comfortable rooms, friendly service, and a great breakfast buffet made this hotel the perfect launching point for our time in Bésançon. Definitely recommend!

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.

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...

Trotz der sehr zentralen Lage relativ ruhig (gute Fenster), alles sehr sauber, Zimmer einfach aber ausreichend und mit kleiner Kitchenette, fairer Preis für die Garage - kann man sich merken! Dass die Gäste (auch) das Mülleimerchen im Bad leeren müssen, sollte allerdings unbedingt überdacht werden - zumal das nirgends vermerkt ist. Der entsprechende Hinweis bezieht sich nur auf den Küchenteil.

This property has everything one needs for a short stay. The interior is very cosy and homy. Room was well equipped and bathroom was brand new. Bed was very comfortable too. We've had a nice rest at night. Everything is very clean and well thought through. Breakfast was delivered to our room on time and in an organised manner. Pierre and Klervie at the reception were brilliant and went out of their way to help us with everything we needed. They have even helped to carry our bags to the room (we were moving and the car was full of bags that needed to be transported into the room). This was very sweet and kind of them. Furthermore, they were very polite and friendly. Excellent job. Excellent reception and first impression of the hotel. Management is lucky to have both of them. I've stayed in many hotels and this is not something normal to happen even in high-end properties. There is no restaurant in the hotel, but many nice places around. Easy to find something to eat. Highly recommend.

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.

Sans surprise. Les campaniles sont tous configurés sur le même modèle. Mais le temps a fait son effet et les équipements sont un peu vieillots. Propreté de la chambre et de la SDB correcte sans être exemplaire. Insonorisation moyenne. Literie confortable et store efficace à la fenêtre qui permet de dormir dans le noir. Buffet de petit déjeuner très complet. Restaurant non essayé. Accueil moyen : dépend des interlocuteurs. Veilleur de nuit très professionnel, réceptionniste aussi. La femme qui s'occupe des petits déjeuners en revanche plutôt désagréable.

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.

We’ve been using Campaniles in France for around 30 years. Sadly they have been steadily declining in recent times despite some refurbishment. The woman running the hotel on the Saturday evening along with the chef was the only good thing. She was completely charming and was very helpful. The room reeked of smoke and was cold as the heating didn’t work properly, despite her best attempts, so she gave us a heater, which did work well. The furnishings were a mixture of original Campanile brown green and a partially refurbished bathroom which was in disgusting condition. Brown toilet, heater dripping with filth etc etc. On arrival in the restaurant we were 10 mins early at 18:50 and she informed us we were too early but we explained we just wanted a drink to start with, which she duly served. By the time we eventually left the restaurant at just before 21:00, we were the only two customers they had had all evening! Hence no buffet, just an extremely limited menu of food which was served not entirely heated through. Do yourself a favour and find another brand of hotel, as we will next time. It’s very sad as we really enjoyed the simple convenience of Campaniles but they seem to be being run down and abandoned as a brand.
