Superb Find!!!”

Price, location, service, friendliness, facilities

I booked through Agoda for the price. I cannot believe the price, for 3 nights with breakfast included. I'm not sure if all the rooms are refurbished, but we were in a refurbished room. It was suberb. The fabrics etc were modern and stylish. The room was clean, as was the bathroom. The bathroom seemed to be like a kit bathroom, like an all in cabin that was installed, but it was superb. One of the best features in the room was a state of the art computer with widescreen that had many features including TV, on demand movies and complimentary Internet access. I rate the location as excellent, this might not be classed as excellent for all, but for those who know Lyon, we arrived by train to Perrache station, and the hotel is 1 minute's walk from here. Even so, it is still only a 7/8 minute stroll to Place Bellecour and of course all the transport systems including Tram and Metro are at Perrache anyway. The only prob we had was a fault with the air con unit, which started leaking water during the 2nd night of 3 and we had to turn it off. This was then Sunday, so the hotel were unable to effect a repair, but we managed to get about 3 hours of air con on the final night before the water started leaking again. This did not affect the stay though - the temp was dropping anyway!!

Great Value”

This hotel is great value for money and ideally situated for visiting Lyon. The single rooms are very small and the bathrooms tiny but both were clean and for a short stay are perfectly adequate. The bed linen was clean and of a good quality. When I was there breakfast was offered free of charge and was good with fresh fruit, yoghurt, bread and pastries. Parking is in a garage round the corner and is reasonably priced although the enclosed spaces are very tight to manoeuvre into. There is a space outside the hotel where you can stop to unload your bags. I cannot fault the staff, they were smiley, helpful and courteous.

One of the best hotels I’ve stayed so far”

Everything about the hotel was perfect. The location for the price, Place Bellecour and the Old Town was only a 15-min walk away. Perrache Gare is a bare 5-min walk away too. The single economy room with a large comfy bed, that was so cosy. The efficient use of space that though the room was small, had everything I needed. The toiletries and towels in the bathroom were lovely, and the shower pressure and hot water awesome. No doubt will return here next time I visit Lyon again.
