Best Western Citadelle

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.

The hotel is gorgeous. The interior decoration is particularly successful. The person who welcomed us on Saturday night was quite possibly the nicest front desk person I have seen in my many years of traveling. The room was great: comfortable beds and great pillows. Large bathroom with towel radiator. Large shower. The skylight was great for fresh air. The breakfast was excellent, both in variety and quality, and served in a gorgeous vaulted room with old fashioned electric lines on the ceiling. Being able to park in the courtyard was convenient. We were even able to recharge our electric car. The old center is within a few minutes walk.

We liked very much the breakfast buffet offering a big choice. The hotel location is very good, very quiet but quite central. You do not need to take the car afterwards to visit everything in Besançon. We reserved a parking place for our car in the hotel, which was very convenient, as there are not too many parking places available in the surrounding.

All the staff were really lovely especially the lady who checked us in. There had been a mix up with the on site parking we had booked, however she sorted it straight away and we were in our room in no time. Great location for town with a good choice of bars and restaurants and easy walking distance from the Citadelle. We were only there for 1 night/day but would definitely stay again.

Once we found it, it was a very good location and everything about the hotel suited us fine.
