Hotel Le Sauvage Besançon

Hard to fully describe the experience at this wonderful property. Although older as it was originally a convent the variations of the different rooms gives it great character. The location above the hill gives great views. The most amazing part of this property was the people. In the bar, resturaunt and front desk they made our experience winderful. A very romantic place to spend a weekend and explore the town below. Highly recommend this to anyone for a unique experience. People make a difference and they deserve a high rating!

Very disappointed with the room at the Sauvage Hotel. There were visible stains on the bedsheets, a spider in the room, and the rain shower sprayed water everywhere except directly under it – clearly poor maintenance. The room felt like it hadn’t been properly cleaned, which is unacceptable for a hotel rated 4 stars. Fortunately, the overall experience was somewhat saved by the excellent restaurant (which is run separately from the hotel), the spa, and the lovely surroundings. Sadly, the room experience did not match the rest of the setting.

Mr Kamel at the reception (afternoon - night) is very nice and friendly. He also introduced the history, the feature of the hotel, and share many other things with us. Thank you Mr. Kamel 🎂

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

The hotel wants to be upscale but is not. Service is very much dependent on the person, with one that recommends even places to see and to dine in, and the other seeming to be completely disinterested and focusing on a minimalist service. Rooms are very average, the bathrooms are spacious but beds are not comfortable at all (it felt as if the mattresses were as old as the building). Parking on the ground (need to book however) which is good. Location is very central. We did not use the spa, however and their own restaurant was closed.

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.
