The hotel is recessed about 20 meters from the street; it's quiet (double glazed windows plus retractable metal shudders) and has parking right in front. The lobby space includes plants, a piano, and comfortable sofas. The room was generously sized for a reasonably priced hotel. The breakfast included the usual fare plus good pastries. The hotel is situated near the... More

The Granvelle Hotel in Bescancon France is a little gem of a place. What made it for me was the staff. A genuine friendliness. Cheery even. Having travelled the four corners in Europe I realise genuine good cheer is a rare comodity at hotel receptions. The rooms clean and perfect for the easy going crew. A few of my self... More

A couple of streets off the main High Street, Hotel Granvelle occupies a very convenient , yet peaceful location just below the Citadel, as well as having easy access to the river walkway along the Doubs. The decor of the hotel has a certain old - world charm ( the sitting room is delightful and the breakfast room light and... More

The staff and owners are really friendly, caring and helpful, and although you won't be happy if you want 100% standardised modernity (à l'américaine), the rambling space with its cobbled courtyard added to the pleasure of finding ourselves in this part of the historic centre. Room 25 was right in the middle of the building, with a great view of... More

From the hotel there is a five minute walk to the old city center with its shopping area, but also to the cathedral and, from there up to the Vauban fortification (Citadelle). The rooms are OK, but not fancy, in the old French two star style,

We enjoyed our one night at Hotel Granvelle. Despite having room #1, on the mezzanine level next to the lobby and stairs for all hotel guests. I'd not stay in this same room again due to the noisiness, but the room was very nicely appointed, as was the hotel. Lucky for us the outside people noise didn't bother us but... More

Good value for a 2 star hotel. A very good continental breakfast with a greater variety of food than is normal (muesli, croissants, French bread, cheese, eggs to name just a few of things I tried). Our room was warm at night even with the window open but we got a sheet once we explained that the duvet was too... More

Hotel was very close to the centre of Besancon and had parking right outside. We are a family of 5 and we had one room but there was enough space and we thought the hotel and the area was lovely.
