My wife and I stayed with our 19 year old son, at the Tonneau d'Or for several weeks while relocating to Belfort. They did an excellent job converting an ancient government office building into a truly nice hotel in classic, elegant French style. It is certainly among the nicer hotels in Belfort.||||Lobby area is large, (particularly by European standards) airy and inviting. The rooms are also large by European standards, wonderfully furnished and equipped with all amenities. Plenty of large windows that open wide and are equipped with stout shutters to block the early morning light if you're a late riser or the noise from evening revelers if you're a light sleeper. Closet space was only adequate, but there were three of us. ||||The rooms are maintained spotlessly and the service is good and efficient. English is not as commonly spoken here as in the popular tourist cities of France, so if you don't speak the language, brush up on a few polite phrases and be prepared to point and shoot at the restaurant menus.||||||Most of the rooms have views of the massive and ancient fortress that has guarded this crossroad town for many centuries.||||The hotel restaurant is actually quite good. I don't make hotel food a habit, but this was good enough that my wife requested we celebrate her birthday there just last week. The scallop,mango,avocado salad is superb and the wine selection is extensive.||||Location is perfect. A 5 minute walk from the train station with the always enjoyable 'old town' on one border and the shopping district on the other.||||We enjoyed the Tonneau d'Or and have recommended it to friends and business associate.
