Ho soggiornato con famiglia al seguito, moglie e 2 bambini. Camera pulita ed accogliente, letti comodi. Accoglienza ottima alla reception con gentilezza e disponibilità a consigliare mete da visitare in città. Parcheggio convenzionato con l’albergo praticamente a 2 passi… centro città a 15 min a piedi… Posizione ottima per visitare la città… sicuramente torneremo qui la prossima volta!

Stayed for one night. Super friendly staff accompanied me to the hard to get to parking building next to the hotel. The next day they retrieved the car for me. Not a good hotel to stay it if you have a car. Our room was in the ground floor of a scary apartment building next to the hotel. A key FOB was needed to open 2 security doors before getting to the room. This "annex" location was not mentioned by Expedia.

This is a great budget hotel. The room we stayed in was old and dated but clean. If you have mobility issues or trouble with stairs be sure to book a room on the ground floor (there are only 4). The front desk staff are amazing... very friendly and helpful. The breakfast (which can be bought separately) is good (not a lot of variety but quality food). Location is great... Right at the bus and train stations Perrache.

Vilket fint hotell! Rummet var fint med riktiga sängar även till barnen (ingen bäddsoffa) och fräscht badrum. Frukostbuffén var jättegod och erbjöd allt man kan vilja ha, även om den inte var stor. Jättetrevlig personal som löste det vi behövde hjälp med. Det enda lite jobbiga var att det inte fanns hiss och vi hade barnvagn.

The hotel is simple but excellent. Very friendly staff, the room was small but very clean and had all the basics (towels for all of us, shower gel/shampoo, soap, hair dryer, etc.). The beds were comfortable, and despite being near a busy street, the place was quiet and we slept very well. It was easy to walk to old Lyon, and the staff let us keep our luggage at the hotel free of charge after we checked out and before we were ready to leave the city.

The room was awful and had mold on the wall. The window in the room was not opening as it is on the street level and on top of that the AC was making so much noise. There was only a security guard overnight and they were unable to fix the AC and they didn't offer to change room because the hotel was full. The AC was as loud as a truck. he security guard brought a fan over to my room at midnight. The next day, they offer to refund half of the price but I never receive any money. Such a bad experience. They shouldn't allow people to stay in room like that where people can't sleep. You have to choose between not sleeping because of the heat or because of the noise.

Hotel situé à 2 pas de la gare Perrache, il est donc idéal pour les arrivés tardives et reste central. Cependant plusieurs chambres on une vue direct sur la gare routière et la proximité avec l'entrée du tunnel sous fourviere enlève du charme. Heureusement les fenêtres sont bien isolées. Les chambres sont petites mais confortable. Un effort pourrait être fait sur l'aspect général pour 5 etoiles mais rien de gênant.

A good budget option right across from the bus, tram and metro hub. After a late-night check-in we were offered and spent a night in a first-floor "annex" room off the lobby of an adjacent apartment/office building. The room was claustrophobic, had no view, a drop ceiling, and water damaged molding. After asking to move to the main hotel the next day we were quite pleased with the room in the main hotel which featured the ambiance one would expect from an intimate French hotel (floor-to-ceiling windows, carpeted stairs, and a decorated room). Advice: Do not stay in the "annex" rooms next door to the hotel.
