Campanile Dijon Nord - Toison d'Or
Half between our trip north to south, easy to find. Easy check-in. The room was really nice, a step up from the budget hotels. The tram to town stops just by the hotel and we had a wonderful night in Dijon. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean

B&B HOTEL Dijon Valmy Toison d'Or
Very clean, very tidy perfect for an over night stop over. Check in was a bit different with the screen and we didn’t actually see a member of staff at all during our stay! Nevertheless exactly what was needed for 1 night.
