Best Western Plus Hotel DEurope et DAngleterre

This is one of many Grand Old Hotels that Best Western has refurbed in Europe. This was an unplanned stop with no advance reservation. We arrived late in the day, tired, grumpy, and were treated very kindly. Desk staff had good English. The desk gave us our Best Western discount! Breakfast was an additional E13 each and secure parking was E18. Many hotels in Europe charge for parking. The room was big, nice, clean and well equipped. There were no wash cloths but the best towels of the trip. There was AC with its own thermostat, a safe, kleenex and mini bar. There was a lift and then a bit of a walk to our room. Hotel has access from underground parking area. This is a typical BW rehab of an older property that preserves as much original charm as possible while providing modern conveniences. Breakfast was the typical lay out of hot and cold, the only disappointment sub par coffee. Don't let the exterior appearance fool you, this is a very nice hotel. Parking was very secure. Don't be intimated by the photo or the ramp. This arrangement is typical in France and easily done with a little practice. Perhaps we're too picky but we had a hard time finding dinner. Maybe we should have wandered further from the hotel. Our Domino pizza was disappointing because it tasted too much like USA pizza and not like European pizza. We would gladly stay here again.

What a beautiful hotel. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Location is perfect overlooking the river Saône and a few steps away from the town centre, its shops, bars and restaurants. The art deco style interior oozes luxury, well chosen pieces of furniture and period mirrors adorning the walls. Breakfast is so worth having, home made yoghurts, compotes and jams, a selection of local honies, freshly squeezed orange juice and an array of breads, viennoiseries and cakes. Not to mention the hot options. Altogether a fabulous hotel.
