I didn't get to stay there because I had to move my trip a week forward so they confiscated my money, claimed I had made a non-transferable booking although they couldn't show me where that was found in the contract. I won't ever use this hotel.

If you ever book this property, make sure your dates are unchangeable. I had to move my stay forward by a week so they forfeited my money because according to them, it was non-refundable because the rate I was given at booking time, was supposedly "special". They never showed me where in the contract, this was stipulated. Although they forfeited my money, I still went ahead and booked a second time, with the new date, hoping they would appreciate my business and refund the previous amount. They were adamant, claiming the money was non-refundable, but never showed me where that was found in the contract. I knew the money could be forfeited in case of cancelation but not because I was simply moving the date forward . Availability of rooms was not the issue because I still ended up having a room, at the same rate, with the new date. I should have just gone ahead and booked a different hotel. I had chosen this one though, because of the online reviews. Service was ok, nothing spectacular for a three-star hotel. Staff members made an effort to communicate in English the best they could. However because they forfeited my money under a false non-refundable pretext, I won't lodge at this hotel in the future, unless as a last resort.

The staff were polite and very helpful. The room was clean but the elevator was scary - rickety, wobbly and some very strange noises. The drain in the shower had a dodgey odour. The heating worked well and it’s a safe place to stay.

the property is ok. but we had very bad experience with our stay. it's a friday night, extreme noise from the street at 2:30 AM. Drunk people stayed in front of the hotel, singing, dancing & peeing directly on the street. The noise last more than 20 mins, we could not sleep at all, I went down to the lobby, asked staff for help. We needed a place to have a good night, however, it didn't go well in our case. that's why i give a bad score

Great location, too hot top floor room

The hotel is located very centrally, perfect for exploring Besancon on foot. The hotel feels like the typical Ibis experience, so you always know the level of quality you get. However, this time we had one big issue with the room: we were given a room on the top floor, which was unbearably hot even at night. One couldn't breathe in the room, let alone stay a whole night in. We complained at the reception and even though they initially claimed there was nothing they could do (in French, which we don't really speak), we were determined and kept persisting that the temperature and lack of air in the room was a real issue. After much deliberation, one of the staff members accompanied us to the room and agreed himself that the room indeed was too hot and airless and didn't have suitable conditions to stay overnight. The only option he could offer us was a room next door, and even though that room felt also too warm for our taste, it was much better than the original room and we could bear the temperature, so we gladly accepted the room change. So in the end, it all ended well, it was just the inconvenience of having to go through that experience and wasting the energy on something basic that shouldn't be an issue at all. To sum it up, we would recommend this hotel for its fantastic location and overall good state, just make sure to stay away from the top floor rooms until they fix their temperature issues
