All of the staff were very friendly. We arrived three hours before the earliest check in time but our room was ready and they kindly let us in. Location was perfect. Both tram lines and many bus lines stop 100 m away from the hotel. Hotel interior is modern and clean and their beds are very confy. They didn't have coffee machine nor instant coffees in the room which are usually available in other hotels but that is a tiny issue. I can truly recommend Ibis hotel for your stay in Besançon.

I liked this place, it was in the middle of the old town. On foot, within a few minutes, you would reach all the interesting spots you would look for. Furthermore it has it’s own and safe parking just in the location, and it’s easy reachable by car or bike. Especially the hosting was fantastic. The recetionist contacted me in advance to ensure, every thing would work fine on my arrival. Thanks for the stay and the kindness.

Really cute rooms. Our room for a family of 4 opened up to a little courtyard. Easy parking. Really lovely staff! Quiet location but easy to access the 'downtown' area. If we're ever in Besancon again, we'll definitely stay here again! Also, we enjoyed breakfast here in the morning. Couldn't have been easier. Lovely spread of eggs, bacon, ham, pastries, cheese and breads with fresh juice and tea/coffee. We also had dinner at the restaurant but thought it was a little expensive.

FAQs about hotels in Besançon

What guests said about Besançon:

Besançon pleasantly surprised us.

Besançon pleasantly surprised us. We usually just passed through on our way to Dijon or Lyon, but stopping here was definitely worth it! The historic center has a wonderful atmosphere, highlighted by the Église Sainte-Madeleine de Besançon. Make sure to allow enough time for the local Museum of Archaeology and Fine Arts. The collection is extensive but well worth the time. The military fortifications around the city, including the Citadel (a UNESCO World Heritage site), were also an interesting highlight. The only downside is that the city is not a major tourist destination, so finding souvenirs can be a bit difficult, and even at the Citadel the selection is rather limited.

I didn't have the time to visit most of the inner city, but from what I can tell it's rather average, somewhat well-kept but far from ambitious in its design. Probably best for one to focus on Dijon, although Besançon could still be explored on your way to the mountains

We stayed one night, on a last minute decision. The town is really attractive and although there is not a huge amount to do, it is a great place to wander. The Musee des Beaux arts is absolutely outstanding - a complete surprise. We would have stayed longer if we had known how nice the town iss, especially to explore the countryside around,.

It rained more than was good this time.

It rained more than was good this time. Get a pass for the tram. If there are more than one of you then get a pass each rather than putting all the credits on one pass. If it is running take the boat around the Boucle, preferably on a good day. Most of the captive animals have now been taken aways from the Citadelle and that is good, it wasn't right for the lions and tigers in there or the monkeys. Don't feel bad about the rabbits, guinea pigs and poultry - they love interacting with the public. The hen was really proud showing off her new chick. If the weather is such that you can eat outside then eat outside. The food is always good, it would be hard to get a bad or expensive meal in Besak. Use the trains to have a day in Montbeliard and visit the Peugeot Adventure at Sochaux. At Montbeliard Station get on the bus, route 3, about 3 euros each. Likewise a day in Belfort is always good.

We went to Besancon to visit a friend and had only time for a short walk around the city. We visited Victor Hugo's birthplace which was very informative, and we were delighted to see some Roman ruins preserved in the center of the city. We didn't have time to visit the museum of the Resistance and would very much like to visit it on our next trip there.

The hotel is situated very close to the old town near the citadel. It’s set back from the road so nice and quiet. We were unable to secure a parking space at the front of the hotel, but the staff directed us to nearby secure public parking. All the staff at the hotel were really helpful and friendly. The room was a really good size and extremely clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good and they were able to offer gluten-free options.
