Hotel Saint Jean

The location was perfect. The beautiful original features of the hotel, gently sweeping bannister of well worn and restored wood. The floors in the bedroom were stripped with original fitments to the window (withe additionof modern double glazing). It had the old fashioned sausage pillow to sleep on.if you want to stay in a place with character this is it.

The bathroom let the property down. We were led to believe there was free parking but it was not reserved for the hotel. There was parking on site if reserved but unfortunately it was full. Parking available in nearby car park at a reasonable price.

This is an absolutely gorgeous hotel finished in an old fashioned way with numerous period features and antique furniture. The lower corridors are beautiful and tranquil and the staircase has a wooden bannister that is a show stopper. We stayed in a huge family room at the top with four beds. It was a bit hot but we were there during an exceptional heatwave, however adding a fan might have helped our stay. The bathroom was huge and cool and beds were fine (a first encounter with bolster pillows for our two teenage kids!). Lovely hotel in a lovely location - I do hope I can visit again.

A fan might have helped manage temperatures in a big family room

I was worried to book the hotel room reading negative reviews. But it is 2 star hotel! And surely can compete with 3 star hotels. There was soap, shampoo and extra blanket with pillow. Staff is super nice and even parking was full, because we were with one motorbike, they let us park in front of the hotel. I loved the style of the hotel, interior was lovely, like stepping back in time. Room size is at least double of more modern hotels, the bed and "rolled" pillow are so comfy, it's impressive. The location is fantastic to get to the restaurants, and as we stayed Friday night, it was noisy outside, hearing people coming back from town centre. Perfect stay if you are planning to go to city centre

Noise from the street but it is due to central location

We loved our host Sylvie - friendly, outgoing and very communicative well before our stay. Some may not like the faded grandeur of this Belle Epoque hotel (or the view of works being carried out to the gardens between the Saone and the facade), yet we thought it added to the appeal. The room had a spell-binding view over the Saone and the period decor included shutters, beautiful doors & windows with original fittings, ornate fireplace, mouldings etc all that had seen better days or needed attention but what the heck!. Bed was firm and very comfortable. Internet was good & TV signal was iffy at times but showed England's win v Denmark! Hotel was short walk from the centre of the pretty, historic town. We got lucky with a free car space opposite the hotel, but when the public works are finished, I doubt if we would be so lucky again?

The decor could have been much improved but then the price would have climbed. Besides, faded grandeur often beats ill chosen modernisation, I think. We'd expected a kettle & drinks making in our rooms, though nomne provided; free coffee downstairs compensated

Location was amazing and a room with a view of the river! Lady at check-in was friendly, helpful and informative and guided us in the direction of that evening's food and music festival on the riverbank - BONUS! Lovely breakfast.

No air-con but huge windows with a breeze off the river - no complaints.

Friendly reception, prompt assistance and lovely, non-intrusive music and a surprise for breakfast: gluten-free bread - which was specially obtained early in the morning so as to be ready for 7.30 a.m.! Thank you very much indeed.

Excellent position on the river walkways , beside the old town centre. Pedestrian precinct and restaurants within a few metres. Stanislas,the patron was extremely helpful with excellent language skills.

A perfect place in a very nice city. We just had a stop for our way to the Atlantic but I could stay way longer in this nice and perfectly placed hotel. A big thanks to the staff!!!

As good as always - we stay here regularly now as we know we will always have a comfortable room, a good breakfast and are looked after by a friendly team

The staff were excellent, extremely pleasant and helpful. The hotel was well located for an area of charming, characterful restaurants.

Lack of bar! It meant a walk to the local supermarket on arrival.
