CHEZ JEANNETTE
Hostel spirit between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Dijon offering economical overnight stays and meals.
Jeannette, they are in fact Alexandra and Fabrice Bigolet who welcome you with sympathy and professionalism in the purest spirit of the inn. The 8 carefully decorated rooms invite you to relax for a while on the road to the Grands Crus. And who says inn, says hotel, but also kitchen: do not miss to sit down to the restaurant to taste the kitchen of Fabrice, who revisits the great Burgundian classics. All this is enhanced by a very nice wine list of the region. In summer, enjoy the terrace under the lime trees.

Times of service restricted. We turned up to book in just after 16:00 only to find the door locked.
Returning later we had a cordial reception and shown to our room. This was generally fine. Toilet was separate from shower room and had no natural light. If you were claustrophobic you might have felt uncomfortable but it was OK.
The shower room had a liquid soap dispenser beside the sink and within the shower cubicle, and a tissue dispenser. The shower had an uncomfortably sloping floor towards the central drain. The shower head was on a fixed holder at about 1.65m so only useful for very short people. It really needs to be raised by 30cm at least. Otherwise it worked well. Indeed the usual problem of a mirror steaming up in this type of room was well ameliorated by the extractor which seemed to function without any noise.
The bedroom had a comfy double bed with a good quality duvet. The "headboard" was a short curtain on a rail which wasn't comfortable behind one's head but a useful cushion was provided to deal with this.
The heating of the room was a mystery. There was a large old radiator but we never discerned any heat coming from it. However we were never cold.
Dinner was THE event here. The diningroom features well lit linen covered tables with silver cutlery. Our aperitif of kirs had a very generous amount of Cassis. The food was FANTASTIC. All clearly freshly made, perfectly seasoned and cook and served with aplomb. This was Michelin star quality!
After an excellent night's sleep in our very quiet room we enjoyed breakfast. This is available between 8am to 9am. We were given two good sized croissants. Coffee came from a machine with an instruction list above it. We only saw one cereal which looked like a chocolate covered something. There was fresh bread, some sachets of emmantal cheese which were difficult to open, plain yogurt, fresh fruit, eggs for boiling, charcuterie, fruit juices, butter, honey and strawberry jam.
Nice place. Lovely people. With such great food we are likely to return.
Un personnel uniquement féminin très accueillant, souriant et au petit soin. Un décor qui m'a rappelé la maison de mon enfance. Je m'y suis sentie à l'aise immédiatement ! Commande et service sans trop d'attente. Cuisine maison savoureuse et très bien dressée. Bon choix de vins. Un vrai régal des yeux et des papilles de l'entrée au dessert ! Je recommande vivement !
