Description

In the centre of Besancon, a city rich in history and ringed by green hills, the Best Western Hotel Fontaine Argent is a three-star hotel with a cozy Art Deco character, set near Viotte station and a stone's throw from the Besancon Citadel. Rooms carry the hotel's Art Deco styling throughout, each with a private terrace and a different outlook, from street to garden views, with superior versions adding a small sitting area and suites more space. Connected rooms suit families, and TV, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi come as standard, with a copious continental breakfast of seasonal produce. Vauban's great hilltop Citadel, a UNESCO-listed fortification, rises just above the hotel, with the old town wrapped in a loop of the Doubs River, the Franche-Comte countryside close, and the Jura beyond. For history, architecture, and easy rail connections, the hotel makes a characterful base. Art Deco calm and the Citadel above frame the stay.

"Very good hotel and good value for money "
Monica C, 23 Avril 2023

I have booked a superior twin room and we had all the things we needed in the room The rooms are clean and modern design. All the rooms have a balcony . Breakfast is continental no hot buffet but you have a very good choice of fresh pastries , cheese, yogurts, cereals, juice, coffee etc. If you are arriving by car the parking cost 8 Euro per day. Free Wifi connection is very good in the rooms TV in the room has only French channels This hotel is very well located even though it is not in the old town it is only 10 minutes walk to the old town. the tram is just outside the door of the hotel so if you plan to go to Citadelle the tram will take you to Chamers stop and from their you can take a bus to citadelle. ( plan a whole day at citadelle as there are really alot of things to see and it is also good for families with children as there is also a zoo with quite a few interesting animals .

"Doesn't deserve 3 stars"

Had to wait some time at the main entrance and got no apologies for the waiting time. Entrance room might be cleaner as well. I don't recommend this place, for me it doesn't deserve 3 stars, maybe 2 and the price should then be lower.

Owner Response, 28 Octobre 2021

Cher client , le classement des hôtels est effectué par un bureau de contrôle selon certains critères bien précis ,notre établissement est une construction récente classé 3 étoiles ,quelques travaux sont encore en cours dans la copropriété malgré tous nos efforts pour maintenir le sol de la réception très propre des traces de pas ne peuvent pas être évités ,nous mettons tout en oeuvre pour réduire ces désagréments ainsi que l'attente à la réception cordialement la réception
