Fair price for basic needs

The hotel itself is well staffed, but can be tricky to locate in the first instance without GPS. Perfect for access to the Parc de la Tete D'or, but about a 20 minute residential walk to the edge of the city to access public transport. Our room had what it needed, but was a little likited - no fridge, dated decor. Ultimately a decent, fairly priced base for days full of off-sjte activity.

This is a very pleasant hotel, with sizeable rooms, a very comfortable bed, great shower, and big, openable windows, in a friendly, pleasantly diverse neighborhood with a lot of small ethnic restaurants, as well as a grocery store and drugstore, on the plaza next to the hotel. It's 15-20minute walk through a lovely park to the convention center. The staff were very helpful. It's ideal for visitors with meetings in the conference center, if you want something more local feeling than the big chain hotels in the conference center. I really enjoyed my stay.

The hotel is clean, nice, rooms are spacious and comfty, the front desk people is gentle. The breakfast buffet doesn't have much variety, but is ok for 3-4 days stay. The lady by the door in the restaurant is picky.

A recent two night stay. Excellent location near to the Tête d’Or park. Local boulangerie and small supermarket as well as some limited free parking, although hotel does offer parking at a charge. Very clean throughout with helpful friendly staff. Easy walk to tramline and various bus routes connecting to train stations and the centre of Lyon. Restaurants also within a short walk. Rooms very clean, superior rooms recently renovated to a good standard, comfortable beds, adjustable heating and excellent showers. Only minus points - no hot drink amenities in room, no refrigerator in room. Cold drink machines available. Breakfast available at an extra charge. Very happy to stay here again and would happily recommend.
