Very nice old French hotel with tons of charm perfectly situated to walk around town. The host was charming and helpful. Will stay here next time we are traveling through!
Lovely old-style hotel. There was a hang-up since we were going to be late and staff spoke no English. We understand it’s France, but English is the common spoken language in Europe. Parking was rough. Breakfast was sufficient. Bathroom door could not shut all the way. Would stay again.
We were only at Hotel Saint Jean one night but it was lovely. Although there were some improvements underway it was clean and nothing was in our way. The person who checked us in was very nice and helpful. The hotel was well located. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. We were able to get a 3 person room which is hard to find. Breakfast included some meats and cheeses, more than the common croissant and coffee.
Lovely little hotel, good location and a very friendly owner in Silvie

This was a charming and clean property that is in progress on making updates. It was very clean, with a friendly staff. Some finishes were being updated (for example, a baseboard in the bathroom) but nothing that negatively impacted our stay. Good continental breakfast

Nice place and staff, let down by poor parking.
It is a quaint little place, nice location and the staff are friendly. Unfortunately it is let down a serious lack of parking. I had to park on the street 15 minutes walk away. The shower in our room was a trickle and my partner was cold all night. The rooms are big with old style heating so not very effective, plus one radiator in the room did not seem to be working.

Hotel vieillissant qui ne mérite pas les 2 étoiles .
Propre mais dégradé.
Peintures à revoir ,car raccords de plâtre, vieux rideaux à moitié décrochés. Plafond avec plaque de bois en renfort.
Pour le personnel ,rien à dire.
Point positif : le petit déjeuner
Prix de l'hôtel compte tenu de votre commission à plus de cent euros un peu élevé
Je pense que cet établissement nuit à votre réferencement et ne devrait plus figurer dans la liste de vos hotels
J'ai passé une semaine ouvrée dans cet hôtel je dois dire que j'ai été assez déçu des prestations. En effet, les quelques meubles étaient vétustes. On voit un très gros manque de finission dans les chambres, le sol est taché, la vitre est en simple vitrage, en levant la tête dans la douche, on voit les différentes gaines de ventilation a nu... De plus, dans cet hôtel en fin septembre, pas de chauffage, j'ai eu froid du soir au matin !
Le petit-déjeuner se constitue de :
- Café
- Trois morceaux de pain
- Un pain au chocolat
- Un croissant
+ Un buffet minuscule... Bref il ne faut pas être affamé !
Conclusion, je trouve que cet hôtel est sacrément cher par rapport à la prestation. Je ne recommande pas

Bra läge men slitet
Bästa läge precis i city men svårt med parkering samt att ingen pratade engelska så svårt att förstå och att kunna ställa frågor. Hotellet är slitet och behöver snart en uppdatering för att hålla måttet med andra hotell som vi tidigare bott på i staden.
Et meget sjarmerende, familiedrevet hotell. Perfekt for oss som er en familie på 5, da
vi kunne få plass til alle på samme rom (connecting rooms). Deilig frokost, hyggelig og imøtekommende personale, fredelig og rolig område med nydelig utsikt over elven. Hotellet ligger i et gammelt hus med mye sjel!
Gangavstand til gode restauranter.

Excellent accueil. Petit-déjeuner copieux.
L'hôtel se situe dans une ancienne demeure ayant du charme. Des travaux seraient nécessaires pour le maintenir en bon état. Voir notamment des finitions à réaliser dans la salle de bain.

Agréable séjour
Hôtel un peu "vieillot" cependant, propre, le personnel est fort sympathique ce qui rend le séjour très agréable...
Nous étions chargés (en moto), ils nous ont aidé à porter nos affaires jusqu'à notre chambre...et avec le sourire!!!
merci pour l'accueil...

Ideaal voor wat we nodig hadden ; tussenstop op doorreis naar de Alpen
Très bonne nuit passée à l’hôtel Saint Jean, le gérant a été très accommodant pour nous permettre d’arriver tard le soir, et les petits déjeuners étaient gratuits pour les enfants. Très facile d’accès depuis l’autoroute et des places avec parcmètre (gratuit la nuit) sont disponibles juste devant l’hôtel.
Hotel vétuste mais surtout tres sale. Pour acceder a notre chambre la lumière du couloir ne fonctionne plus. Escabeau, chute de placo juste devant notre porte. Etants rentrés dans la nuit contents d'avoir une lampe sur notre portable. Chambre sale, chenis, poussière, et surtout sale de bain limite insalubre. Une boite de dérivation avec fils électriques apparents au dessus du lavabo. Pas de pression dans la douche. Le placo ne va pas jusqu'au carrelage du sol.
Seul le petit-déjeuner etait tres bien.
Das Hotel ist schon in die Jahre gekommen, das Gepäck sollte nicht allzu schwer sein, da es keinen Aufzug gibt. In Zimmer 34 kam aus dem Duschkopf nur ein kleines Rinnsaal.
Frühsttückservice sehr gut.

Die Unterkunft war sehr schön französisch, zentral am Ufer der Saône gelegen und das Personal war ausgesprochen freundlich. Das Frühstück war einfach, aber ok!
