This hotel was the highlight of our trip to the region. It was an outstanding experience across the board, from location and exemplary service to helpfullness and friendliness. This is a must stay place in Besancon. Lisa and Thibault, at the front desk, were a pleasure to interact with. The breakfast staff, Alida and Nadja provided superb service. Our room was clean and beautifully located. The hotel has its own superb garden and it is within walking (climbing) distance from the not to be missed Citadel. Bravo!

Huge potential but major disappointment. Short one night stay that turned out to be more than enough. Received a room for disabled people, nothing you can do when you get to your room at 03:00AM with a property packed. Still significantly different from what you can see on the website, specifically the bathroom. Anyway, you carry on and try to rest. Bedding quality is average, at best. Breakfast was a zoo, kids crying and screaming all over the place. Difficult to have a relaxing time starting your day with parents contemplating their kids throwing silverware on the floor. Breakfast selection is minimalist, well under par for that category and price. And what to say about the paying car park? Rain or shine, dust and gravel will make sure that your car is dirtier when you leave then it was when you arrived. A positive note, staff is nice.

Beautiful historic small hotel with outstanding staff. This small hotel is a true gem- it’s a converted church, restored beautifully with cosy rooms. Very comfortable beds and nice sized bathroom with big shower. What’s truely special about this hotel is the staff- from reception desk to breakfast ladies, everyone is so sweet and accommodating. Food is excellent and great selection of wines. Haven’t tried their spa area but it looks beautiful. Highly recommend and would definitely return when I am back in the area. Thank you for a great stay

After a very busy few days in Disney, we came to Hotel Le Sauvage to relax and recover! A beautiful calm environment, very friendly and helpful staff throughout the hotel. Excellent breakfast.The old town of Besançon all within walking distance. Our only disappoint was the evening meal in the hotel restaurant which we were told is under different ownership.

Nice hotel, quiet , very difficult to get to, but very basic. Yes, it is clean, nice service in reception, but it is not 4* standard. May be 3*. The bed is average, room is bare. No minibar, no towel heater, no bedside cabinets / unit ( just a very small shelf not enough even for a phone). The breakfast is ok but basic. I have asked for fruit with no kiwi because of allergy, no can do ) The basic price for the room is ok, but to take extra for breakfast, parking and the spa? Not in a 4*!

My husband and I very much enjoyed our romantic weekend in this beautifully restored grand 18th century building that hugs Besançon Citadelle. There are unique architectural and decorative touches everywhere, and the service is excellent without being at all snooty. Our room had a view over the garden and rolling hills in the distance. We did the spa, which was tastefully appointed but a bit overpriced for a (large) hot tub and a steam room at 35 euros per person. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of fine local products served in an exquisite dining room. Parking is 15 euros/day, but probably recommended as there was no free parking nearby. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed for dinner since it was the off season. Altogether a lovely experience that I heartily recommend.

Located in the heart of Besançon, the hotel is fully loaded with history. You like high ceilings, old mansions, wooden flooring or huge staircases, look no further ! The rooms are nicely decorated but have no A/C nor coffee machine. Restaurant is very good !

What a special place. This hotel deserves the highest kudos for several reasons. Let me enumerate a few, a friendly hard working staff (more on that); a first rate dining room, get a reservation for sure, that doubles as a breakfast room in the morning. Well appointed rooms but not that many which makes it an intimate place high on the hill above the city. It’s not all the way to the Citadel but it’s not far. When ongoing national protests forced us to change our transfer meeting point, the staff volunteered to shuttle our luggage in a personal car to a new meeting point. Vive La France!
