“Not so Bon”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We travelled to this hotel on 30th September and first impressions are okay. The Receptionist was quite helpful and we were booked in fairly quickly. We were taken to the lift and told our room number. On exiting the lift the corridor was in complete darkness. We had to grope around the walls to find a light switch whereupon you get a quite dim light in the corridor that is painted a dark "battleship" grey. It was most unwelcoming and depressing. The room itself was okay, quite small and the mirrored door to the wardrobe was cracked quite extensively. The bathroom had been recently refurbished, but did not have any towel rails. Lighting within the room was quite low and only one chair was provided (there wasn't room for another). However the room had two very large wardrobes. We did eat at the hotel on one evening, but this was an organized dinner and we didn't have any choice in the meal, so cannot comment on the menus. The meal was fine. We did have some problems in the bar as they staff kept on insisting that they had no beer. However, when several more of the guests requested beer they eventually brought a barrel up from the cellars. So they did have the beer but were reluctant to sell it! We were also refused a gin and tonic during the meal (which was requested because we don't like wine). Also after the meal we were refused milk for the coffee and tea, as the chef had gone home and it was locked up! It wasn't that late, only around 11.45pm.
I would say that we have stayed a better hotels that cost the same or less. However, it was adequate for a couple of nights, but it is unlikely that we would return.

“Disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 July 2011

people found this review helpful

Hi We stays there 2 nights in June 11. We were on the 3rd floor.
The room was globally ok but the carpet was not that clean. Very small window.
Those rooms would need to be renovated especially the bathroom.
Positive point the air conditioning (it was 39 degrees those delays).
Breakfast is pretty bad, go in any café instead.

“Phillip le Tres Average...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 April 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Arriving in Dijon we found the Phillipe le Bon quite easily not far off the Place de Wilson circle. We immediately parked in the St. Anne parking lot right next to the hotel, and were pleasantly surprised when we realized this public parking (underground 6 euro/day) was cheaper than the 'private' parking offered by the hotel (outside on a hot French day 8 euro/day). Check-in was interesting, the reception area smelled of rancid fish, which worried us as we'd booked lunch the next day in the restaurant, but the receptionist was perfectly nice, offering maps and guidance on where to walk first. She then walked us across the street to our 'Suite' which was up two flights of stairs (Room A1- shared an entryway w/ A2 and was quite loud everytime the family next door came and went; screaming kids, shopping bags, loud locks/keys). The room was fair, definitely not modern- I would, unlike some people who said it's stuck in the 70's, venture to say they are trapped in the 1980;s with their decor. The bathroom was happily renovated and while it was the newest part of the room, it was also the worst feature (Typical Euro shower gets water everywhere when showering-- water pressure so vigrous the nozzle fell off the wall multiple times). Needless to say, I'm glad we had 5 extra towels...The real star was the bed, and while not a true Queen bed (two twins pushed together), the comfort made up for this.
Location was top notch, maybe 5 minutes walking from the major squares in town, the wifi was fantastic! I downloaded a 2.2 hour, 1.2 gigabyte movie in 26 minutes on my iPhone- pretty good for FREE wifi...I've paid 26 euro in a business hotel for half that speed. Restaurant was fair (will review seperately) but I feel their rating in the Michelin guide is STRICTLY based on ambience and starters/desserts... for us their main fish/meat courses fell far from the mark (or standard set by other Bourgogne restaurants).

“Lovely.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 November 2010

This hotel is an older property , is situated in an ideal spot and is charming.
We were greeted firstly by a woman who , smiling went and found an English speaking man , ( so much for my french!)who was extremely helpful at check in.
Our room although dated was better than I expected for the price, very clean and we had no complaints.
The hotel has a lovely restaurant situated at the back of a charming garden where we spend an evening drinking wine!
Next time we're in the lovely Dijon we'l stay there again.
