Nice hotel og very friendly staff. The breakfast was very good and the fitness area was a nice facility. We were looking forward to enjoy the pool, but it was quite cold and smaller and than we expected from the photos. The parking was quite expensive, 28 euros per day. We had the electric car slow-charged here, which was nice. We would stay here again another time :-)

6/10 Good

Staff at breakfast were quite rude and on our first morning it was really poorly stocked. With an hour of service to go food was not stocked up: no melon, no plates, no croissants and if you asked staff they seemed to take offence! The bathroom was very small and to get into the shower you have to brush past the toilet. Nice fresh cold water coolers on every floor and a large fridge in the room. The pool is toddler sized, dont book this hotel on the basis of a swimming pool as we did as you will be disappinted by it. Great location to reach all of Lyon. Short walk from station and into centre.

Verified review

6/10 Good

Due to an extraordinary power outage, which the hotel of course could not be blamed for, our stay ended up being rather curtailed and unusual. The staff handled the crisis situation reasonably well, but it also became clear that this large hotel is in need of some refurbishing. A tired air‑conditioning system, worn bathrooms, and emergency lighting that switches off after ten hours do not make up for the fairly spacious rooms and good location.

Old but well kept hotel. There is a big supermarket just next door, there are a lot of restaurants in walking distance and the city center is around 10 minutes on foot. I would not expect the car park to be more than double the price of a city center public parking space, so plan and book accordingly.
