Breakfast
At hotelF1 Besancon Ouest Micropolis, the breakfast offerings have left diverse impressions. While some guests appreciated the inclusion of breakfast noting it as fine, simple but good or even labeling it as a nice little buffet with a decent array of basics like coffee orange juice and cereal, others found the experience lacking.

Several reviews pointed out the minimalistic approach of the breakfast, describing it as very light or with very few options.

Others reported practical issues like no plates, knives or cups provided and some mentioned expired butter and insufficient supplies when arriving later.

A few positive remarks highlighted the quiet atmosphere and the regular replenishment of items, suggesting some potential for an acceptable experience under the right circumstances. However, many guests felt the breakfast did not meet their expectations, citing it as poor, average or even the worst they’ve seen in years.
