Brit Hotels - accommodation in Saulon-la-Rue

We chose the hotel on the basis of the photos of the old monastery and its cloisters, and it didn’t disappoint. An initial problem with our allocated accommodation was quickly and efficiently dealt with, and we were given a very pleasant two bedroomed apartment on the first floor (easily accessible by lift for anyone with limited mobility) with seating area, dining table and kitchenette. There was a large bathroom with walk-in shower and a separate loo, which was handy for four people sharing. Everything was immaculately clean. Our only quibble was a lack of anywhere to hang clothes, particularly as the rooms were big enough to accommodate at least a rail with hangers. The location of the hotel is excellent - just a stone’s throw from the Place des Cordeliers and within easy walking distance of the fantastic Place de la Libération and the palace of the Dukes of Burgundy. The breakfast, served in one of the vaulted rooms of the monastery, was really excellent. A generous, comprehensive selection of high quality food which set us up for the day.

The rooms were cleaned every day without extra charge! The staff were friendly and helpful. The location! The location! Perfect location! We could get to so much in so short a walk. Right next to the ‘Place de la Liberation’ with all its beautiful scenery and wonderful restaurants. We would sit there every night even if we weren’t eating at one of the restaurants there because it was so beautiful and peaceful!

This hotel is 3 years old and the facilities are excellent for an overnight stop just south of Dijon. The restaurant is excellent. The breakfast croissants were delicious and there was a good selection of hot and cold dishes. We thoroughly recommend it.
