Hôtel de Paris

In the middle of the pedestrian zone, this place was really nice. Access by car was a bit awkward due to many barriers to access the zone, but once we were in, it was great. Nice (if somewhat dated) amenities in vintage surroundings, gorgeous dining room, excellent breakfast, lots of things to do all around. Very friendly staff. Definitely recommend!

Unfortunately the Wi-Fi reception was very poor. The staff were professional, but not particularly warm or welcoming. The exception was the person who did the breakfast. She was very friendly and kind.

Great staff. Amazing cozy rooms. Very walkable.

Convenient far edge of city stopping point, if passing through. Well connected to historic centre by modern tram service a few humdred metres away from hotel.

Air conditioning was not working although the hotel have it and it was 30 Celsius. Stuff explained that the hot weather is only for 2 days... But we stayed at the 2 hot days. Was difficult to sleep. Bed are not confortable.

I was so impressed with the 10/10 reviews and the huge focus of car parking and breakfast that I booked this hotel; only to find that both of these involved considerable extra payments. Also no bar no restaurant, no air conditioning, and no room service is not 10/10. It would also have been helpful to have been told in advance that the route to the hotel involves more obstacles than the Grand National. There’s a secret passage that is only known to the locals.

The room was beautiful, parking was easy - I reserved ahead of time and the front desk was personable and welcoming.

Great spacious room. Staff very professional and friendly.

The hotel is located in what it was to be a deposit of the mail office, which brings a lot of character and charm.

This hotel is in the heart of everything. The building is very old but the room is really good.

Right in old town, great shopping and unbelievable bakery, yummmmm

Excellent location. Great decor throughout. Reception very helpful throughout our stay. Very good selection at breakfast and option to have petit dejourner express if you're not a big breakfast eater.

Great location, cozy hotel, very quirky. Rooms are tiny but adequate for a night or 2. Breakfast was expensive so we didn’t book it and went to a bakery across the street for amazingly fresh tasty pastry and freshly made tea and coffee for half the price of breakfast in the hotel. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Definitely will stay again.

Nothing special, though no extra perks

Fantastic location and great check in. Car park ideal for low cars

I requested a step-through shower and I got it. The room was spacious by European standards. AARP would approve of the room appointments with room to move about, grab bars in the shower and by the raised toilet. A great buffet breakfast which helped me gain a few pounds.

This is a very nice hotel located perfectly and centrally to restaurants, arts offerings, cathedrals and churches and shopping. The staff was terrific. They spoke English very well, but what I liked was their patience with letting me speak my French because I wanted to keep improving my French. Sometimes staff and merchants will switch to English, not out of being offended by the imperfection of ones use of their language, but out of a sense of being helpful and/or efficient and clarity of communication. The staff was also very helpful in arranging cabs, recommending restaurant areas, etc. The hotel room was very comfortable, including easily controlled temperature levels, and clean. The cleanliness and orderliness of the room was kept that way daily by the friendly housekeeping service. One small thing: hallway carpets seemed a bit stained in place, as if there had been a water leak, but the carpets were clean. I would absolutely recommend this property. I even liked its funky modern decor of the lobby.

Lovely hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast very good but could do with more than one coffee making machine. Very pleasant room spoilt by flaking paint work on bathroom ceiling. Parking and location very good.

It was a 2019 stay in a beautiful old city. We will certainly go back soon.

A very pleasant hotel in the centre of Besancon. We had an email from the hotel staff warning us that it may be difficult to get into the the city centre later in rhe afternoon , due to July 14th celebrations. Very thoughtful; very helpful. Our room on the second floor was compact, as was the en suite shower room. However, the hair dryer was excellent! The outside seating area, where breakfast could be taken in the rear courtyard was very pleasant though sadly there was no drinks service during the day. The car park is very tight if you have a large car.
