“Not a three-star”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2010

The French rating system of stars, which is usually pretty good, gives this hotel three stars. Definitely not!
This is a once-comfortable hotel with some reputation, located in the very attractive center of town, close to all its architectural landmarks.
But it has been really neglected, and does not honour its 1940s standing. The mahogany is still there, and the gold valances, but they are scratched or torn; repairs, when they were done, made things worse by being amateurish. Dirty - like, really dirty - carpets, moody light switches, no toilet paper holder in my bathroom, minimal toiletries, minimal desk, and forgettable breakfast.
This is a hotel that is waiting to be bought by a chain and totally refurbished. Until then, avoid.

“perfect location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2010

We had some difficulty getting to the hotel because of the one way streets. But once we got there, the staff were very helpful and friendly. Our room was large and clean. Bathroom with shower and tub was new.. TV was VERY small but not of importance to us as we came to visit the historic area. And this location is perfect!

“Horrible experience: noise, dirt, mould, unfriendliness”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 July 2010

We liked:
- Location: It is just a few minutes walk from city center.

We disliked:

- Mouldy, dirty bathroom. I have never seen such a filthy bathroom, ever! It looked like it had never been cleaned. We refused to shower in there.

- Bed: uncomfortable, dirty sheets, itchy cover

- Noisy: We had the room just next to the entrance of the hotel. WOW! Each time some one entered the hotel, we were standing in our beds. Then, around 3 am someone started to clean (or whatever he was occupied with) in the hall. Why? I don't know?!?

- Unfriendly staff. They pretend not to speak English so that they do not have to deal with guests. I overheard a receptionist talking to someone on the phone quite fluently in English. But when we went up to her to complain about the room, she pretended not to speak English.

I would never ever return. I can not understand how they have a three star rating.

“Basic hotel in good location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 July 2010

We only stayed one night here in May. Good location in the Old Town (we managed to pull our cases to the hotel from the train station no bother). The room itself was basic but a decent size and clean and looked onto a nice courtyard. Don't expect any fancy touches, toilettries etc. We didn't have breakfast so cannot comment on the quality of food at the hotel.

We would thoroughly recommend Le Petit Roi de La Lune if looking for s good French restaurant.....a short walk from the hotel on Rue Amiral Roussin. The puddings were great!

“No frills, good value.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 June 2010

This hotel was fine for the price. Rooms are rather dark and the w/c was very small. There is also a fair bit of noise from the street, since the street cleaners of Dijon seem to work overtime. Breakfast was fine; wifi only works in the lobby. Best part was the reception staff; very friendly, helpful, sympathetic, and attentive. For a no-frills experience, this is a good bet.
