Best Western Hotel Fontaine Argent

8/10 Good

"Good location. Undercover secure parking (additional cost) On tram route Intermarché supermarket nearby Boulangerie nearby, lovely fresh produce Restaurant nearby Not far from river"

Hôtel de Paris

"Everything was great. The parking is tricky and getting to the hotel can be, as well. The hallways are kinda stinky in a cleaner/perfume way, but everything else was lovely, and I would happily stay again."

ibis Besancon Centre Ville

10/10 Excellent

"The location was pefect and the staff - all the staff - were very welcoming and helpful."

ibis budget Besancon Centre Gare

8/10 Good

"I found later I had been charged €20.40 for local taxes, which is far too much for one night and the invoice sent through Expedia said it would be only €1.69. This needs to be investigated and either explained or refunded appropriately. Room was beautifully clean and the hotel generally well maintained. Very convenient for transport as it's right opposite the station and bus and tram stops. "
