Liked: Cleanliness
Easy checking in and out. Kind, polite and helpful staff. Decent hotel, near public transport and tourist attractions. My room was a bit noisy early in the morning/night due to deliveries to the businesses around. It was ok as it was in Winter, but in warmer times, could be a problem. Breakfast was fine, although quite basic. Hotel is an old building but it was clean.

Loved the vibe-very clean but not fussy, eco but not militant, classy but not over the top. My room was efficient and the bed was so comfortable. The breakfast was copious and delicious.

The hotel was a good surprise. We had a cozy room but it was enough to host our family with 2 small kids. The staff was fantastic and very helpful. The hotel location is very convenient, close to the Perrache train station (walkable) and with plenty of restaurants close by. We had a very comfortable stay.

La chambre était super, le service également! Le seul hic c’est que l’hôtel est située sur une rue très passante avec beaucoup de construction qui commence dès 8am. Nous avons apprécié notre séjour, et Lyon est une ville magnifique.
