Horrible experience

I've been reserving different hotels in last 15 years and this was the worst hotel I've ever been. First, there were no heating during my 2-nights stay and outside was -4°C! There were one small heater in the room which couldn't heat anything, but only for one night, because it broke down. First night there were no hot water too, for shower, but I wasn't noticed, although they knew about that. At last there were one woman at the reception who was speaking decent English while I was checking-in, but suddenly forget it when I start complaining. She pretend not to know what means "heating" and just go away behind the door, refusing to talk, even I was just asking what is happening! Never again in this garbage hotel!

It smelled cigarette (very very badly) in our room, it did not look dirty but not clean either. Towels were torn appart. It took 20 minutes to get hot water from the tap. Wifi doesn’t work well and crahes all the time. The breakfasts however were worth it and the room was quiet.

Great welcome and super friendly staff!

I stayed 2 nights on business. All the staff were super helpful, very welcoming and friendly. The room was comfortable but could perhaps do with some upgrading. It would have been good if the hotel sold cold drinks as I had to go out after finishing work at c 21:00 and Villeurbanne did not feel terribly safe.

Nice location. But, bad service in terms of net

The hotel is located in nice region. The metro is just 5 min by walking gratt ciel station. However, the net is bad and slow. The room is clod. I think the condionnig system should be added in the rooms.

Not to bad a hotel - but with great staff!

Reception staff were very welcoming and friendly. Please note that parking is height restricted - only 185 max. I was able to park outside the hotel but this is not protocol. Room itself was ok - nothing amazing so I am not sure what a normal room was like as mine was meant to be superior! Couldnt seem to control the heating in the room. All in all not a bad hotel and I would stay there again if I was in the area.

Lyon December 2018

The hotel was handy for the metro for getting about and reasonably priced given the Festival of Lights being on the same weekend we were there. Staff were friendly & helpful. The room was clean but could have done with an easier to open window or air conditioning as the room was very warm. Great spot to stay when in town for the rugby, would recommend it as a place to stay.
