Great location but smelly!

Excellent location. Sadly, that’s about it. Breakfast at €19 p/p was boring. The corridor skirting boards and our door were in desperate need of refurbishing. Our room was cold and no facilities (fridge, kettle or coffee machine) BUT worst of all: the shower drain bad smell. We have never experienced anything like this before, and we do travel a lot. The receptionist came up and poured some product down the drain but it did not eliminate the odor.

Most of the things were fine. Place was clean. Convenient to alot of things. The only complaint I had and communicated to the staff was that there was no hot water in the shower. I was compensated with a free breakfast.

the staff is wonderful and the location is perfect. the primary reason for the rating is the AC - it was almost not working - had to be moved 3 times and even then had only marginally working AC - they are also redoing the hallways and stairwells - so much construction.

No telephone in room. Safety issue.

Great small hotel that needs a bit of a refresh

Great location and friendly, helpful staff. Rooms are looking a bit worn and tired, especially for the price, and the selection of TV channels in English was poor. The onsite bar and restaurant is good. The location is excellent, close to metro and bus options, as well as shopping and restaurants. If you are not going to spend much time in your room, this is an ideal place to stay in Lyon.

You can't ask for a better location in Lyon. It is right in the heart of the city, easy walking distance to everything. The staff and hotel are extremely friendly and helpful. Terrific breakfast in the morning. The facilities themselves have a fun, old-hotel feeling to them, and I enjoyed how it didn't feel like a chain hotel. Highly recommend a stay!
