Great Stay in Lyon – Comfortable Room and Friendly

Great location and overall a pleasant stay. The hotel is centrally located yet quiet, just a short walk from the Old Town and public transport. The room was spacious, very clean, and had a beautiful view of the Lyon theater. There is no elevator, and guests must climb a few flights of stairs to reach the lobby and rooms — something to keep in mind if you have mobility issues or heavy luggage. Although there is no air conditioning, a fan and portable cooling unit were provided and worked well. The receptionist, Marcia, was highly professional, kind, and always helpful — she truly added a positive touch to the experience. I mentioned in advance that I was visiting for my birthday, but there was no welcome note or birthday gesture, which would have been a nice touch. Still, the hotel offers great value for money, and I would consider staying again.

Disappointing

There was no air conditioning. Perhaps I should have checked but it was not made obvious at all when we booked. Entrance to hotel was down seedy alley at the back. Would not have liked to enter there on my own. Soap in bathroom was watered down and useless. Water took ages to soak away in sink. Shower took more than 5 minutes to warm up. WiFi did not work in our room (108). Bed hard and pillows no better. We loved the city but were so disappointed with the hotel.

Bad experience, keep looking

It was mid-heatwave and there is no aircon in the rooms. The hotel is also in a loud area, so trying to sleep with the windows open is not an option unless you can sleep with lots of loud noise. I ended up leaving the hotel after the first night for my sanity. Many better options in the area for similar prices. I should have done more research. I didn't expect a full refund, but I had 5 unused days and a 1 day token refund would have made me feel better about the whole situation. Outside of the lack of aircon and the loud area, the rooms were not clean, the curtain rail came off the wall when I opened the window, etc. It's a budget place, but the hotel I stayed at after was 5% more expensive and 100 times better. Do some more research and find a better hotel in the area!

Perfect location, friendly staff and good value. Breakfast consisted of a croissant, 1/2 baguette, butter and jam which was fine with us. We were offered plates to eat off when we asked but ordinarily breakfast is eaten off the white paper table cover which although it does get changed, we found as odd. It has a slightly shabby feel but we still feel the price was good value for us and we would stay again.

It is exactly what you expect from a 2 star hotel. It does what it says on the tin and it does it fairly well. You are warned about the staircase situation, granted. This being said it is ludicrously difficult to manage with luggage.

Great location, friendly & helpful staff, comfortable room, availability to purchase a delicious breakfast—we’d definitely stay here again. The only caveat is that there are a lot of stairs, so it’s more ideal for those who travel light.

This hotel had no elevator with reception on 3rd floor and our room on 5th floor. This hotel is not suitable for people with heath conditions or poor mobility. The room had no air conditioning and no safe or fridge. The breakfast offered was minimal and overpriced. We do not recommend this hotel.

Convenient for Lyon city centre, everywhere is walkable and bars/restaurants are within 5 minutes walk. The only thing to let it down is the lack of a lift which for us, personally, wasn't an issue, but it could be for anyone with restricted mobility.
