Professional staff-old charm-great location

Reviewed By gifty62

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.

Excellent stopover on Eurovelo 6

Reviewed By 1womble

Secure bike storage, clean rooms, very friendly and helpful receptionist at check in (afternoon of 15th May), water dispenser in reception… all making it great for a bike stopover. Very well located for a visit to citadel and for EV6 bike path too. Only downside was that the rooms are on the dark side at night - no central ceiling light.

Great location yet quiet and relaxing

Reviewed By jengma658207

View from the room (top floor) to the cathedral and down on the river was amazing. Excellent location to walk into the historic center or starting a walk along the river bank in either direction. Small but very comfortable room, clean and nicely renovated. Public parking nearby.

Reviewed By Ellen_and_Pedro

We stayed at Ibis hotels before and also this branch is in typical Ibis style. A spacious room with a comfortable bed and crisp white sheets, friendly staff and everything well cleaned. The location is good but not excellent. It is a short 5-10 minute walk from the center. Parking is available on site.

Hotel de Paris

In the 18th century this hotel used to be a coaching inn and it represents a History lesson in itself. It was called the “Hôtel de France” and became the “Hôtel de Paris” in 1855. It was the favourite address for a large number of learned persons from the higher realms of culture and politics. Even the stones have retained the memory of Prosper Mérimée who stayed here in 1836, of Jules Michelet the famous historian, and even of George Sand and Colette the unforgettable women writers. From this prestigious place the visitor can find the most remarkable monuments and museums.It is also the starting point for nice walks in the historical town centre, hemmed in by the loop of the river Doubs.The setting gives the feeling of a lively inhabited residence where spring generates a delicious woody smell, rising up from the two inner yards, with their totally safe car parks situated at the back of the buildings. On the shaded terrace the visitor enjoys a luxurious moment of calm and can have a quiet breakfast or relax after a busy day. The view on the roof tops and on the forts which surround the town is fascinating. The sun glows into the quiet yards where the fifty rooms have been totally restored to offer a special moment beyond time. With its contemporary and ancient styles which coexist in harmony, the hotel breathes a real atmosphere of serenity. One will appreciate the particular attention paid to the comfort of the bedrooms. The cosy lounges offer original spaces to rest and meditate and the fitness room is the good idea to keep up one’s form. Two well equipped rooms allow people to organize events and conferences in very good conditions.Thanks to the young and dynamic new owners with their good elegant taste, this “hotel de charme” has become a spirited place with its three star service. It is now a jewel in the heart of Besançon.

Do not stay here

Reviewed By drcjgoodis

Breakfast ends at 10:00. I came down at 9:50. At 9:59 the lady in charge of breakfast said I had one minute to finish. I said I will be done in 5 minutes. She said I had to leave right at 10:00 and stood over me. At exactly 10:00 because she was showing me her watch the whole time standing over me she took my coffee from me. This was the most bizarre experience I have ever encountered. The whole breakfast buffet was completely left out. She had plenty to do but she had to make sure I left exactly at 10:00. The front desk said that’s their policy. I travel a lot in Europe. Typical breakfast is 7 to 10. But even after 10 they clean everything up but they’ll let you sit there and finish your coffee and if you have a meeting with people they let you sit there and have your meeting. Just the most bizarre experience. I would not stay here.

Now with a great restaurant!

Reviewed By TrudyundLilly

We come here for many yeas at least once a year for business/pleasure. To our great joy it now has its own restaurant. Ate lunch there and simply loved it! We were not as happy with our room this time though. We always book the same one facing a little courtyard, having a table and chairs to sit outside. Usually a quiet hotel we had the bad luck that a kind of family reunion was held there too. These people even turned the courtyard into a makeshift dining room and cooked (one of the rooms has a very small kitchen). That meant noise in the backyard until late in the night and small children playing foot ball in front of our sitting area. Had to use earplugs to sleep. Did mention it at reception for course. I does not hold us back from coming again. We already booked for December and hope that the hotel is the usual quiet and serene place again that we like so much.

Covid compromised

Reviewed By Bill F

Usual Ibis Styles standard. Clean and adequate room. But Covid risk prevention was very poor. Apart from a few lines on the floors, there was little to encourage social-distancing. In fact, at one point, a waitress paced a chair between ours and the adjacent table so that the person sitting there was very near to us. Also, while we were there, there was no effort to clean tables in between customers.

Quiet and spacious

Reviewed By Ursosarctos

We stayed here for two nights in order to visit the Citadel. It proved a very good choice. Although near main roads, the hotel is quiet and has lots of good parking. It is clean and tidy, and our room was very spacious with a good bathroom and separate toilet. Really excellent value. The staff were pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was served in a large room, again uncrowded, and was replenished as needed. There is a bus stop a few minutes walk away, from which there are frequent buses to the city centre. It takes about 30 minutes, and the cash fare was €1.40. This was much preferable to taking a car into the downtown. The main drawback, and the only reason that this isn't a five star review, is the lack of places to eat. There is one restaurant, the Grill du Trappeur, within a fairly short walk, but the walk is complex and not particularly pleasant.

The Restaurant and the meals were nice and good. The pitcher wine was too expensive. The welcome at the reception unfriendly. The rooms are ugly, dirty and old. The bed and blanket were smelling as never been washed. The old nasty carpet gave us the rest. Never again campanile.
