Nice new hotel near the highway in a suburb of Besancon. Caution: Be sure to enter the zip code in the navigation system, as there is the same street name in another suburb 10 km away! Free large parking place, good restaurant (steakhouse) directly on the opposite side. Nicely furnished room, bathroom with window (a rarity in hotels!), friendly staff, very good breakfast. After breakfast, a walk through Besancon, 8 km away. We would love to come back!

Friendly and helpful staff. Was given a kettle on request, though there is also tea and coffee downstairs whenever you need it. Good selection of tv channels including subscription sports. Room a decent size and furniture including bathroom quite new. Hot water almost instant. AC efficient. Shutters in addition to curtains if you need the darkness. Easy to find and accessible. Plenty of space for parking. La Boucherie across the car park fine for dinner.

Perfect location, close to the A39 motorway. Very clean rooms with comfortable beds. Good restaurant close by

The room was very cold, when we entered and it took quite a long time to heat up - the bathroom was ice cold all the time, as there was neither floor heating nor a radiator.

Good location, Tesla supercharger available in the hotel area. Perfect communication, excellent appartment for disabled people - the shower enclosure includes a chair installed on the wall, appreciate that! Great and tasty breakfast as well, definitely recommended!

The Akena Besancon is our go-to-Hotel when travelling to Spain. A perfect stopover hotel. Its located near the highway, but far enough to not being noisy at all. The parking lot is video secured and the gate closes at 10pm. The rooms are well-tended and tidy. The bed could be longer for a tall person (6ft6) like me, but is very comfortable anyway. The staff is handsome and helpful and the breakfast more than adequate for this type of hotel.

Our stay at the hotel was just one night, a stopover on the way further south. The hotel is located very close to the A36 motorway, which was ideally suited to our travel plans. But even though we arrived at the hotel four hours before official check-in, the staff were incredibly kind to let us in without any hassle, gifting us a great opportunity to visit Besancon in the afternoon. The restaurant next to the hotel offers a sufficiently broad choice of dishes to match most tastes (though a vegetarian traveller might find the menu a little lacking). The room was very quiet and the bed comfortable enough. The well-appointed bathroom was very clean. Most of the hotel staff do not speak much English, but they are very helpful and communicative. 10/10.

Conveniently located on the way of a 2 day road trip. Just needed somewhere to stay the night and charge our car before heading off in the morning. Clean, good breakfast and reasonably priced for what you get. Would stay again.

Excellent location perfect for a stopover going south. Parking easy and lots of charging points if needed. Cleanliness excellent and staff friendly.

Was very cold in the hotel and in the rooms. Shower was hand held instead of fixed. Breakfast was a bit expensive for what was served.
