Best Western Citadelle

We were hiking the Via Francigena and chose here to stay for two nights and have a rest day. A very nice hotel that is reasonably close to the main attractions, restaurants, etc. of Besancon. Our room overlooked the courtyard and was very quiet. A very goog place to relax after days of hard hiking.

Staff on reception were lovely. Very helpful in assisting us with all our questions. The rooms were spotless and beds comfortable. Parking at property was fully booked but there was an easy parking option around the corner which was very close to the hotel which was free from 7pm until 9am. There was a little shop 20m from the hotel entrance which was very convenient. It was a short walking distance to the centre of the village. Breakfast was good not a lot of options but typical for France.

Great location under the Citadel on the edge of the town. Very easy access into their car park, albeit the spaces are tight for a large car. Very easy walking distance to all the main sights and all the many local restaurants in the town. No bar/restaurant there but they do an excellent buffet breakfast. All very friendly helpful staff have stayed before and would happily stay again.

The location is very nice. Very close to the city center. Moreover, Besançon is a very historic city you can reach each historic places by walking. Breakfast is nice. Classic French croissants and traditional French cheese. The ladies in the reception are very kind and helpful. Thanks to each of them.

The main attraction is the well maintained beautiful old building in which you are lodging. It has the air of Hogwarts, with lots of halls and staircases, where you might even get lost in. Friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast and a very nice and clean room!
