Top hotels in Old Town Dijon
Hôtel des Ducs
I enjoyed the amenities in the lobby; espresso machine (till it broke down, probably from my constant use!), games galore, lots of table to picnic at and friendly staff.

Mama Shelter Dijon
What a fun place with friendly and helpful staff! I wish there was coffee or a tea kettle in the room or lobby, but I think maybe thats not a European norm for hotels. Bedding is very comfortable and location is close to city center and train station.

Aloft Hotel Dijon By Marriott
Great location, right in the heart of the city. The Queen room we stayed in was a bit small and the breakfast would benefit from having more variety. We had a good 2 nights stay.
