Hotels near Praline et moi, Besancon

First, the walk from the train station through Rue Battant may make you question your choice of destination as it runs through a poor, but safe, neighborhood. The surroundings are more favorable with fewer deserted storefronts when you cross Pont Battant. The hotel street, however, just across the river, appears from the outside to be a bit rundown. The hotel itself foes not run the whole block as it may appear in pictures; it is only 1 doorway. Once you gain access to the hotel by ringing the doorbell, you will be buzzed into the ”lobby,” a dark area with a large desk where you will eventually meet the proprietor, a hard-working man who serves as manager of the hotel, sets up the limited breakfast buffet (it is not worth the 13 euros charged per person for cold cereal, pan au chocolate circled by flies from the open windows, juice, packaged yogurt, & a coffee-dispensing machine), & serves as waiter at the rear-facing restaurant downstairs. The man wanders in and out clearing breakfast dishes from previous breakfast guests, & one day, he offered us eggs to be made in the connected restaurant. He is, in fact, very nice and helpful, but the whole affair is very casual. The hotel is spread over 4 floors of 4 tiny rooms each, some of which have a lovely river view and some of which have a view of the busier square behind the hotel where cafes abound. Our room was adequate, and we didn't bump into each other much. There was a small wall-mounted TV (all French channels), mini fridge, & private bathroom with shower. After a day, we relaxed and got used to our accommodations. For the price (under 100 euros per night for the 2 of us), it was fine. At that price, you don't expect luxury, and we did not see any luxurious hotels on our walks around town. Town was charming.

Very well located next to the city centre and a tram stop with a convenient underground parking - a bit tight for large cars. Our room was of a good size, very clean and quiet. The staff was nice. We did not have breakfast because of the cost of it.

Despite the very central location relatively quiet (good windows), everything very clean, rooms simply but sufficient and with small kitchenette, fair price for the garage - you can remember! However, it is essential that guests (also) have to empty the waste label in the bathroom - especially as it is noted anywhere. The relevant notice refers only to the kitchen part.

The rooms are very dark inside, attention better be away from the ashs especially in the evening it's noisy and you have the smell of tobacco, parking not top especially when people take three places or the mattress is comfortable

Without surprise. The campaniles are all configured on the same model. But time has had its effect and the equipment is a little outdated. Cleanliness of the room and bathroom correct without being exemplary. Average soundproofing. Comfortable bedding and effective blinds at the window which allow you to sleep in the dark. Very complete breakfast buffet. Restaurant not tried. Average reception: depends on the interlocutors. Very professional night watchman, receptionist too. The woman who takes care of breakfast, on the other hand, is rather unpleasant.

In Besançon for the weekend we have spent a beautiful evening, the hotel is clean and new, everything is available to spend a pleasant moment (distributor, games of companies, etc...) A special mention for the reception, We haven't been welcomed in a hotel establishment for a long time.

First of all, the cost to stay here was cheap so I understand that it was not going to be luxurious in any way. We stayed for 1 night as we were visiting Franche-Comte. The location is just outside Besançon in a residential area. Handy for the tram and a short drive into the town. The staff were friendly enough. Our room was on the bottom floor. The hallway and our room were uncomfortably hot and stuffy. There was no air con in the room and, as it was a hot day, it was an uncomfortable temperature and difficult to sleep. The room was very basic. It reminded me of student accommodation. The bed wasn’t very comfortable and we had a thin pillow each. Otherwise, the room was clean. I personally wouldn’t stay here again but if you were looking for a one night stop for a cheap price it would be fine.
