Breakfast was good The major down side was our room, it was small and so dark and dingy, lighting was dull, we couldn’t open the curtain because we were at street level and the public road and footpath were directly outside. Bathroom was made small, dominated by extra large shower cubicle which left no room for anything else I can only assess my opinion on my room Staff friendly ##### Charles Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Christian 11 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Small but fine Hotel is okay.

Very friendly personnel at reception, the hotel is located just outside the centre with several convenient parking areas nearby. The building is historic and during the renovation it was decided to keep the old atmosphere and mix it with a modern decor. Really nothing to say about a pleasant stay.

The hotel had an eclectic and charming lobby/ lounge. Our room was on the ground floor of an annex type building. It was clean and simple. There is no air conditioning which was not a problem for us in early June but might be in mid summer. There is very limited parking on property and we had to find street parking which was not an easy feat - the staff directed us to a nearby lot which was full the entire stay requiring us to park on a road along the river - perhaps a 5 min walk away. Overall outstanding location and would stay here again. ##### Karen Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Nicolas 3 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities Les bornes électrique inaccessible car voitures essence aux emplacement Chambre vue sur un mur ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/33a7bf6f-00b0-4c35-8b03-0a3a57aa1252-1754209403304.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Nicolas Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Patrice 17 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Agréable soirée au Best Western Citadelle Venu pour une soirée à Besançon à l'occasion d'un spectacle au Scénacle, j'ai été ravi de pouvoir bénéficier d'un logement à proximité immédiate de la salle de spectacle, celui-ci étant propre et comprenant toutes les commodités pour y passer un bon séjour. ##### Patrice Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nan 12 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Room comfort #### Centralt, pænt og rent men dårlig parkering. Centralt beliggende med dårlige parkeringsmuligheder på hotellet. Pænt og rent men meget lyst.

Sèche cheveux, une lumière ne fonctionnait, ne parlons même pas de la télé.... Je suis un ancien client, j'y allais souvent autrefois... maintenant ce sera jamais. Même pas un seul produit circuit court au petit déjeuner... ##### Emmanuel Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Albin 13 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### Déçu ! Pavillon en rez de ... trottoir Au delà du fait que j'ai séjourné dans le pavillon extérieur, la chambre était en "rez de trottoir". Obligation de fermer le rideau car les passants de la rue sont quasi dans la chambre. Niveau lumière naturelle, on est à 0. Chambre très mal insonorisée, on entend le clac de la porte du pavillon des dizaines de fois dans la soirée, idem le matin + le réveil du voisin qui sonne pendant 30 minutes. Dormant dans le pavillon, sortir dehors, sous la pluie, pour aller prendre son petite dej, c'était la cerise sur le gâteau. Dommage ! SdB au top et bonne literie cela dit :) ##### Albin Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jules 31 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Top Parfait ! ##### Jules Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Christian 25 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Une nuit étape À deux pas du centre-ville Place de parking sur réservation ##### Christian Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Jolly Sailor- Fish on the Quay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maldon-Hotels-Jolly-Sailor-Fish-On-The-Quay.h33264941.Hotel-Information) > > [The Spires Serviced Apartments Aberdeen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberdeen-Hotels-The-Spires-Serviced-Apartments-Aberdeen.h904485.Hotel-Information) > > [The Wellington Heifer](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Northallerton-Hotels-The-Wellington-Heifer.h24301144.Hotel-Information) > > [Patterdale Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-Patterdale-Hotel.h4581032.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels.d178267.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Stanley House Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackburn-Hotels-Stanley-House-Hotel-Spa.h1730326.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Eilean Donan Castle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Eilean-Donan-Castle-Hotels.0-l6088815-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Outer Hebrides](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Outer-Hebrides-Hotels.d6051153.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Grand Hôtel La Cloche Dijon - MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dijon-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-La-Cloche-Dijon-MGallery.h390.Hotel-Information) > > [The Druidstone Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haverfordwest-Hotels-The-Druidstone-Hotel.h23532098.Hotel-Information) > > [Big Sky Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chamonix-Mont-Blanc-Hotels-Wanderlust-Motels-Chamonix.h14898.Hotel-Information) > > [Eiffel Rive Gauche](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Eiffel-Rive-Gauche.h664709.Hotel-Information) > > [Hospes Las Casas del Rey de Baeza, a Member of Design Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seville-Hotels-Hotel-Hospes-Las-Casas-Del-Rey-De-Baeza.h562044.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel de France Bergerac](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bergerac-Hotels-Hotel-De-France-Bergerac.h14896647.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Duisburg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Duisburg-Hotels.d6926.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Meliá Lisboa Oriente](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lisbon-District-Hotels-Lisboa-Oriente.h902930.Hotel-Information) > > [Family-Friendly Hotels in Camden Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Camden-Town-London-Hotels-Family-Friendly-Hotel.0-n179518-0-tFamilyFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Apartamentos Best Club Pueblo Indalo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mojacar-Hotels-Apartamentos-Best-Club-Pueblo-Indalo.h1202194.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Nineteen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barnsley-Hotels-The-Fairway.h1384083.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Salt Lake City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salt-Lake-City-Hotels.d178302.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Sant'Angelo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/SantAngelo-Hotels.d6183631.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Ajnala (ATQ) to Nanded (NDC)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/atq/ndc/sri-guru-ram-das-ji-intl-airport-to-nanded) > > [Flights from LON-All Airports to Dublin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lon/dub/london-to-dublin) > > [Flights from Lahore (LHE) to Birmingham (BHX)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhe/bhx/lahore-to-birmingham) > > [Flights from Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/2205/flights-from-manchester) > > [Flights from Paisley (GLA) to New Orleans (MSY)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/gla/msy/glasgow-to-new-orleans) ### Packages > [Washington Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Washington.d178318.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Stornoway](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stornoway.dx3347)
