Holiday Inn Dijon Toison D'or, an IHG Hotel

I stopped off at the Holiday Inn Toison D'Or while driving back to the UK from Italy, and it was the perfect stopover for anyone making a similar journey. There is plenty of free parking, and the hotel is located next to a large shopping centre where there is a range of casual dining restaurants for dinner if you don't fancy the hotel (including Five Guys burgers!). It is also next to a tram stop if you want to go into town. The welcome was warm and all the reception staff appear to speak English. The hotel is a little dated (80s?) but the room was decent size and mine was very quiet. The room had all the facilities you need for a stopover. There is a gym and a pool if you have a little time on your hands. Breakfast was the usual hotel buffet, but had all you would want. If making a similar journey I would definitely stay here again - I noticed quiet a few cars with UK plates in the car park, so it looks like a lot of people have the same idea !

There really was nothing to improve. It's probably not the best hotel if you want to visit Dijon for a few days, but for a stop-off on a trans-France journey it is unbeatable.

Easy to find, ample secure parking, friendly and attentive staff on reception. The hotel was quiet at night and we had a good restful undisturbed sleep. The hotel restaurant is competitively priced and the service excellent. It was a quiet retreat after a long drive. We enjoyed a wide choice of food etc for breakfast and the morning duty staff were very efficient and helpful. We did not use the indoor pool and spa etc but it was a bonus to have on site. The hotel’s position next to the large shopping centre was very handy for a bit of retail therapy and offered several alternatives for eating out. The tram stop outside the hotel is very convenient for taking a trip into Dijon centre. Rituals toiletries in the en suite were a nice touch. We would definitely stay here again.

Our only grumble would be the use of paper cups and wooden stirrers in the room - no glasses and no cups/mugs on offer!

we needed a hotel as a stop over on our way back to the UK. This hotel was great. easily accessible from the motorway. very clean and comfortable. it is a business hotel and so it is very functional. not romantic, staff were very helpful and friendly. They changed our rooms to make sure they were opposite each other on the same floor. The team also spoke very good English which was hugely helpful. the gym was well equipped and clean and well ventilated. There were plenty of eating options in the shopping centre adjacent to the hotel, so lots of variety albeit mostly fast food.

One room had a lovely countryside view, the other a very industrial view. we didn’t;t mind as we were literally sleeping and leaving. But this might not suit everyone. we also didn’t charge our car here as we read it was only an 11kw charger and they charge an additional €20 per hour for connection. instead we recharged at the super chargers south of Dijon.

We stayed at 5 different hotels during our road trip and this was the favourite hotel according to the girls (5, 10 yrs). Staff is very friendly and helpful, and the hotel is really catered towards kids. The playroom was a big hit and the swimming pool outside is very warm, even when the weather is a bit cool and windy it is very comfortable inside. Nice location on walking distance from mall for last minute buys you forgot to bring on vacation.

The bathroom was a bit outdated

Spacious suite but ugly view to air conditioning equipment, we were on 6th floor, much worse on lower level. Shopping centre next door, excellent tram connection to city centre, stop in front of the hotel.

Bed too hard, room cleaning service highly erratic. Every day something amiss. No glasses, no rea mugs, no ciffee cups, no spoons. Only tiny leaking paper cups in a 4 star suite.

Close to motorway. Next door to tram into Dijon. Next door to shopping centre with plenty restaurants. Park for strolling across the road. Plenty of free parking. Friendly English speaking staff. Good choices for breakfast.

Aircon in room was not sufficient in the very high temperature that was experienced during our stay 35 during the day. It may be ok in normal circumstances.

Spacious rooms, nice staff and a good location when driving from the top of France to the bottom or vice versa. We enjoy staying here while passing through Dijon.

The food could be better (breakfast & dinner) but it’s fine for its purpose. Also, the €20 car charging fee felt a bit steep for the amount of charge it would provide but the receptionist ensured us it was on par with other charging costs in the same area.

Very beautiful hotel with swimming pool and wellness. The gym is very very basic. Friendly stuff. We had dinner at the restaurant and it was very good. The breakfast was also good. It's next to a shopping center with restaurantes and bars. ! What a delight 😋

The pillows are very flat. When I ask for extras they didn't have anymore left. So I had back pain in the morning.

Good location with a Mall and tram stop on the doorstep. Spa access. The chap at reception was excellent, even offered for us to stow the motorbikes under shelter from the oncoming storm.

We included breakfast in our package but in the morning the waitress informed us that we hadn’t and required us to sign, so pay twice. I went to the adjacent reception to confirm we had paid, we had. She then argued with the receptionist. All extremely embarrassing and in front of other dining guests. We couldn’t wait to leave.

Nice modern hotel with plenty of parking spaces. Close to an enormous shopping mall which had food halls and loads of interesting shops. Good bedroom albeit rather small. Good restaurant in the hotel, great dinner and very good breakfast. You can get a tram from the hotel into the town of Dijon if required.

As with other hotels there was not enough space to lay out your suitcase. The bathroom was tiny but everything worked. It is fairly distant from Dijon town centre.
