              Everything was perfect. But what really impressed me was the friendliness and outstanding customer service by the young man who does the night shift. Hotel needs to give him a pay rise for sure

              I loved it. Great location. It is easier to reach the city center by tram. The hotel is close to the tram station

              Value for money, good location, helpful staff, quiet at night (windows were inside the yard but you have no view from it then), also good breakfast. Room was a bit little but ok for the paid price,

              A centrally located hotel with friendly staff and a good breakfast”

              A great choice for those who want to stay in a central location in Lyon. While it is neither close to any of the major train stations, the old tow or the conference areas, it is perfectly located in the centre of them all just half an hour away on foot. The breakfast is 9 euros to pay to the hotel if you did not include it in the room rate. Good quality food provided and the highlights are 🥐🥞☕. Friendly and polite staff, guests feel welcome whether or not they can speak French. As the hotel is only 2 star, the room is basic with no kettle but two doors away there is a Carrefour City opens till 22.00 so you can always buy snacks and drinks from there.

              Good Budget Hotel”

              There aren't many budget hotels in Lyon, so I was happy to find and stay at Hotel Du Helder. The price was excellent and so is the location. The hotel is just a block away from the tram stop (the tram goes to both major train stations in 15 minutes) and only a couple of blocks from the Rhone, so it's easy to walk to downtown (I did so many times). Hotel Du Helder was built in the 30s and still has an elegant-looking lobby. The building hasn't been renovated but has been well maintained. My room was clean and comfortable and the staff were courteous and spoke English. My only criticism is that the room tended to get warm during the night, and opening the window let in the street noise, so I would stay here in fall rather than summer. And I would certainly stay here again.

              Central location with quick transport connection to the central station. It is a good value for the money you pay. You can not have big requirements based on the price.

              The single-bed room might be the cheapest in Lyon. The facilities were ok. The receptionists could speak English and they were nice. It is a bit muggy in summer for there’s no air conditioner inside. But one can open the window to ventilate.

              Emplacement très bien pour le centre ville à pied, SDB, bathroom, no curtain, wait to get hot water, shower badly placed at low level, no microwave, no fridge, no coffee machine, hardly a small soap and a minim quantity of champoo. Towels are fresh. Carpet in the floor. So take with you what you need. The service is nice, polite and pro.
