This hotel has had very good reviews but I found some serious problems which ought to be aired. Firstly this is a beautiful hotel building and the renovations are superb. In addition the staff are all very friendly and helpful HOWEVER Parking is very limited, the hotel is halfway up a steep hill and the roadway outside is very narrow... More

We stayed one night with family and so booked three rooms. All beautiful, all on the ground floor, all facing on to the exquisite garden which is the centrepiece of this stunning 18th century 'hôtel particulier' (private mansion). The location could not be better - right in the heart of the historic centre, minutes from the citadel (well worth the... More

I went with my wife on the way back from Lake Garda primarily because we had watched the Raymond Blanc programme and wanted to explore the Franche Comte region. We chose this hotel based on previous trip advisor reviews and it was a beautiful old and exquisitely decorated house. The garden with pool was a delightful oasis, although the pool... More

We stayed here before in 2009 and loved this hotel. So, when we were in the area again this year, 2012, it was obviously the place to stay again. It is still the perfect place to be. The rooms, the garden, the secluded and quiet pool, and the wonderful breakfast in the beautiful panelled breakfast room make being here a... More

The hotel staff is amazingly helpful and friendly, going out of their way to find a suitable parking spot for our car when their garage was full, to recommend several excellent restaurants in town and point in us generally in the right direction. The grounds are beautiful, and the wee porch in front of our room gave us the opportunity... More

Booked this on the internet as a 2 night stopover on our way to Calais, always a little dubious when doing this, but absolutely had no need to worry with this hotel. It is a typically old French building and beautifully kept. The lady who seemed to run the place was extremely helpful and charming. We had reserved a parking... More

This is a lovely hotel. Just 9 rooms. (there is a sister hotel "Le Sauvage" at the opposite end of the same street). The rooms have been decorated to a high standard fairly recently and our room on the second floor was beautiful with a nice view over the garden and pool. The panelling in the dining room is wonderful.... More

The lady in charge made sure our stay was perfect. Amazing customer service, clean rooms, beautiful scenery.

My wife and I are taking our first 2-week vacation ever, and only my second vacation to Europe. The Hotel Charles Quint was a brief stopover from Paris to northern Italy - but one of the highlights of the trip. Besancon is a wonderful, old French town with incredibly narrow streets! The GPS got us there - and when I... More
