Hotel des Messageries | Hotel in Arbois, Bourgogne-Franche-Comte

“A French hotel, not just another anonymous chain hotel room. Lovely looking hotel. Classic looks and very clean. Nicely placed in the heart of Arbois, handy for restaurants and bars. The use of the garage was a major plus as we used the hotel as a base for motorbike trips. Breakfast out the terrace was a lovely way to start the day. Marie, who seemed to do everything in the hotel, was a constant reassuring presence and could not have been more welcoming or helpful.”

“Room spacious. Excellent space. Quiet , probably quieter in all of Arbois in November. Owner most helpful and friendly. Lots of quaint decor n interesting decorative things around.can see recent renovation. Couldn’t fault anything except having to bring luggage up to our first floor accommodation. No lift. Plenty of roadside parking. Local eateries good. French contemporary restaurant. Local pizza, kebab places . Will stay here if in the area again. Will stay”

“this is a charming old building near the village center, but really only two star quality. We arrived at 2030 right after check-in time, and there was no clerk no staff in sight. We waited 10 minutes, then walked around the town. When we return, the receptionist was very accommodating. She made us some reservations for dinner and lunch the next day. The room was two flights of stairs with no elevator. The hallway was not clean, with cleaning carts and supplies stacked in the hallway. No coffee or shower soaps. The air conditioner was very difficult to operate and stopped running in the middle of the night. next morning we were running late because we didn’t sleep well. Checkout was 1100. At 11:10 and 1120 we got impatient phone calls from reception. Even though there was no cleaning staff on the floor. we checked out at 11:25 and again we’re lectured by the receptionist. I asked her to cancel our lunch reservation because we were not hungry. She said that is not very considerate. All at all, the experience left us upset and unhappy. ”

“Perfect located in middle of Arbois. Nice and clean rooms. Bathroom newely renovated.”

“ok”

“Cute old hotel, located right in the centre of Arbois. Pleasant service. Parking offered for a reasonable fee 100m away from the hotel. ”

“Service at the front desk was terrible. We were forced to pay on Saturday night although we were leaving on Sunday. There was no soap and no toilet paper in the room. When called the front desk about and she said she will arrive but never did. I went downstairs and she gave me a small bottle of shower gel for two and told me to get the toilet paper from a counter in the restaurant area. She mentioned she mentioned she will refill the shower gel dispenser and never did. Reviews at Google maps have a strong focus on the bad service at the front desk. Rooms are ok-ish but start looking old. Bed was nice and clean.”

“Listed building so a little querky. No aircon but roof fan worked well, and quiet. Location 2 minute walk from town centre. Parking right beside hotel and safe. But above all the staff where extremely helpful 😀”

“Very welcoming and small, personal hotel. Rooms have been renovated during the last few years with a nice touch. Clean, good breakfast. Only issue was the lack of AC in each room, but the host made good efforts to cool all rooms during the day.”

“Very quaint but well-maintained hotel in a lovely town. The staff was very friendly and it was a great location at a great price. Would stay again.”
