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

Just one night
Just one night stay. Hotel was very easy to find and in a good central location. Great car parking very secure. Room was very comfortable although a bit warm. Have stayed in a number of ibis hotels in France so knew pretty much what to expect. Facilities were adequate and breakfast was quite good. Ideal option for a short stay.

Very good location, close to pretty much all the places of interest in the old town. Very clean room with a spacious bathroom that is rare for a three star hotel. Super helpful staff. Good breakfast for under 10 euros. Secured parking on the premise for a very reasonable fee. Would stay at this Ibis again.

Good value city centre hotel with parking
Easy to find and simple friendly check-in. Car parking at rear reasonably priced. Room adequate, clean and very quiet. Bathroom a little small but we'll facilitated with great shower. Bed was super comfortable. Reasonbly prices but did not take up breakfast ( extra €9.90) as preferred a simple coffee out. Very recommended.

No mention of construction
Hotel is being renovated - scaffolding outside, builders inside, my room needed a deep clean after building work. Changed rooms, more or less the same - builders have made a mess and management seem to find condition acceptable. Also corner rooms 202/302 etc are for disabled so found chairs inside shower, tap extensions that get in way when washing etc. Staff are friendly but my rooms were a mess

Good town and hotel for overnight stay
Overnight en route from Epernay to Gruyeres, Briancon was a good overnight stopiing place. It is a great town for the evening, pretty town centre to stroll around, walk up to the citadel. Had a great meal at a Moroccan restaurant near the hotel. Hotel staff were great and even found a kettle for our room when we asked.
