Hotel Campanile Besançon Nord Ecole Valentin

The location was perfect.

The air conditioning didn’t work.

Breakfast is good for a motel type accommodation. The room is standard and basic. No hairdryer. For easy access to road and motorway it is fine for a one night stop over but I do not think anyone would want to stay for more than a night.

We have stayed in this Campanile many times and before everything was good. The bed was comfy and the room and bathroom very clean. Very impressed when a cleaner took the large holdall off my husband as he was carrying computers, coats, a couple of other bags and pulling the holdall along behind him and bought it to the room door. Also a female receptionist who also worked in the restaurant at night was delightful.

On entering the bathroom it smelt musty and the bathroom ceiling above the bath needs attention, as indeed does the paintwork in main room and entrance. In the restaurant apart from the buffet I think there were only 6 main dishes, so different from pre covid. During the last 3 weeks we have stayed at 6 hotels in the EU and all now offer a full service. As for the breakfast I do think they are expensive. (Please don’t think I am a cheapskate, in one hotel we stayed in last week the breakfasts were 25€ each but worth every €, in another the breakfast only 5€ but equalled the expensive one, the choice in both was amazing.). Yes I know there is a choice in the Campanile but nothing like the ones we experienced and many people I noticed like me do not take much, me for instance a glass of water, 1 small slice if bread, a teaspoon of jam, butter and a couple spoons of fresh fruit. I appreciate I could had taken more but due to a medical condition I am not allowed to eat much. Even my husband who is allowed to eat everything took little more than me. Sorry for my comments but have to be truthful. In the past I think I have given you a 10.
