Hotels Near Cathedrale Saint-Benigne de Dijon in Dijon

We checked in yesterday (02 Jan 2024) for 2 nights stay. The hotel seems to be fanciful but breakfast is priced very expensively at 21€. We wanted to try this new concept of the Accor group anyway so why not? The room was in general clean but to my horror, upon lifting up the toilet bowl cover, I was greeted with a toilet bowl full of yellowish piss that had not been flushed away. That meant that the toilet was never ever cleaned before releasing for next guest.. or the housekeeping took a convenient piss before leaving and forgetting to flush. Anyway, it could be a genuine mistake so let's not make a fuss at this moment. But I was disappointed to see that there was hardly any amenities in the room. No tea or coffee bags with water boiler. There was only a packet of drinking water in the minibar. It turned out that the water was not even replenished the next day. What was funny: there is a sticker on the minibar door that indicates vending machine available on ground floor. But it could not be found. When we asked the receptionist, we were told that the vending machine is still yet to be installed ??!?!? And suggested to us to go to their restaurant bar to order water or drinks instead. No way ! I am not going to pay for pricey drinking water or tea from their restaurant. Not mentioning that the service charge we will have to pay for getting drinking water there. For a hotel at this tariff, I expected at least to have the basic water, teabags and coffee bags available and replenished! At least most of the basic hotels in France offer this. Some hotels would even offered a coffee machine with capsules. It makes us started to look around the room with a more critical eye. Indeed not only drinking water and basic beverages are not offered. There was only a small bar of handsoap and a miserable piece of body soap placed in the shower to be shared by two occupants of the room. Not only that, the next day after housekeeping, the body soap was not replenished at all. We came back into the room to see the previous bar of soap lying there miserably. This is not what we expected from an Accor hotel which is usually a brand we feel confident in. Mama Shelter tries to be hip and fanciful in their loud decor but in real fact is lacking in hospitality by trying their best to save up whatever they can from the basic necessities (soap, drinking water...) Definitely I will not ever stay in this chain ever again. I sincerely hope Accor group will review and see if it fits their usual standards, because I surely don't think so.

Thanks to the friendly reception staff, I have a good rest! Breakfast is delicious and the location of the hostel is near the center, so it's good because it's close to restaurants and

Quirky but nice hotel in a renovated building. Staff was very nice and our suite room on floor 1 was clean and fresh. The location was great and you can walk all around the town center which has an abundance of shops and restaurants. Be prepared fro a long wait for check in and check out unless you are coming or leaving an an off time. The staff is competent enough, but they didn't provide ample space for the reception area when they did the renovation, and it Becks up very quickly. If also seems they are having some issues with their reservation system, as they were asking everyone to pay when they arrived and when they left, and everyone was telling them they prepaid. Ultimately we didn't see any double payments on our CC so there was not issue. Would still come back.

A McGallery Collection medium-sized property with an unsurpassed de rigeuer location for serious sightseeing and shopping travellers. Lit up in pink at night, it is an impressive historic structure overlooking Darcy Square/Garden conveniently walking distance to the prime tourist spots of old Dijon: the Cathedral, the Ducal Ducal Palace/Musee de Beaux Arts, Place de la Liberation, and feeding spots ranging from the Les Halles Dijon to the Michelin-starred L’Asperule. Diagonally across are the city tramway rails with a fortuitous station stop. Crossing the tram railway takes you to the Rue de la Liberte through the landmark Porte Guillaume (William Gate), which is the main sightseeing and shopping drag of Dijon’s old city center packed with period buildings. Equally fascinating side streets packed with historic structures and sites feed off this main street. The hotel itself has smallish rooms along dark hallways, with views of Darcy Square, its garden or adjacent buildings and furnished in spare modernist style with oversized modernist art copies and see-through bathrooms. Reception staff are charming but unexceptional. You basically take care of yourself here. The Bar is a very popular post-sightseeing relaxation spot with great cocktails and friendly wait staff, with occasional small live jazz entertainment at night.

Hotel location is very good, the train station is out for5-8 minutes. The facilities are also good, there is a small French garden, swimming pool, and a jacuzzi. The room is considered to be among the French hotels we have stayed in, relatively large, and the facilities are quite new. Breakfast can also be 😃 In short, all are satisfied, very recommended.

The hotel is located in Diyu City, and you can walk to various attractions and business districts. The rooms are relatively large, and the health, service and environment can meet the needs of ordinary tourists. There is a small parking lot and it is estimated that you need to book in advance.

This hotel-style apartment is about 12 minutes walk from dijon ville, and there is not much luggage to walk. It takes about 15 minutes to walk to the attractions and it is acceptable. It is quiet here, but there are no shops and restaurants around. I saw two small supermarkets and needed to walk for a while. There are many restaurants near the scenic spot. The hotel room is OK, the door is the kitchen and bathroom, there are kitchen utensils. Going in is the bedroom, the king bed is quite comfortable. Health is also good, there is a bathtub, the shower water is very large, very comfortable.

When looking for a hotel with EV charging, it is pretty much pot luck isn’t it? Both Booking.com and TA can’t tell us the type of charger - fast, slow, Tesla etc. I urge these agencies to take their travellers into the 21 century and provide these filters. This hotel surprised the life out of me. Not only were there a bank of fast chargers in the garage, but the premium for usage was very reasonable. Only problem, as always, was a Belgium Q8 parked in charging bay with a thundering V8 diesel engine - when can we educate these people? Charging for my I-Pace was a doddle. The rooms are well appointed and have all that you could want and the bar is well stocked and staff are multi-lingual. We eat out in a favourite restaurant and will most certainly put this on our itinerary for our regular Provence trips.

The bed is small, the surrounding environment is poor, and the breakfast has few varieties. These are nothing, but it is understandable that there is no air conditioning in summer, because this is France, but there is not even an electric fan, which is too much. I will not choose this hotel again in the future.

We spent one night at this hotel on the way to Italy and another night on the way back. The location of the hotel on the outskirts of Dijon was perfect for this. The hotel is positioned by a large shopping centre with plenty of places to eat, although the hotel did also have its own restaurant and bar. The breakfast was not included in our package but was a reasonable price and provided a good selection of food and drink. We had a superior room which provided more space and a large, modern bathroom with a view overlooking the pool in the wellness centre. The room could have been of a high quality but was let down by the standards of cleaning. Everything seemed a bit dusty and there could have been more attention to detail when cleaning and vacuming to bring this up to the standards you would expext from a 4 star hotel. The hotel claimed to offer a pillow menu but when I enquired about better pillows as ours were very lumpy and broken up, I was told that they were the only pillows they had and that all of them were like this. That said, it was a comfortable place to stay and we went back for the way home. It could achieve a 5 star review with a bit more effort though.
