Very nice staff and cute location. Very walkable. The rooms were small but that was as expected. The hotel was easy to access and nicely kept. Would recommend if you’re just looking for a place to sleep after a day out and about exploring.

A fantastic hotel in a perfect location. It's very close to the Bellecour statue, making it easy to navigate the city. The area felt safe day and night. I loved being able to walk everywhere: the museums, the beautiful historic side of Lyon, and plenty of great bars were all just minutes away. Highly recommended for those who want to see Lyon on foot.

This is a great property if you need something cheap and quick. Great location for food. No AC. Fans aren’t enough and you have to open the windows and the street is loud till 2-4am with homeless shouting and people coming out of the bars. Hotel staff were very nice and the very small room was clean. But minimal towels, 3-1 bottle of shampoo, and staff is only at desk certain hours. They do offer to store luggage which is a nice plus.

Ideally situated in the middle of town. Friendly and helpful staff at reception. Good breakfast. Room clean but bathroom very small. Some noise from the street but not too bad, and i was only on the first floor. More noise from the room next door!

Great location in town, very helpful and friendly staff. Room comfortable without being being lavish, nice to open the big windows and lap up the street atmosphere below. But good to close at night for quiet for sleep
Bathroom a bit tight, to keep in mind. And no AC but this was late September so not an issue to close windows for sleeping. Room cool enough

The location is good, the staff are mostly pleasant, the breakfasts are good but are not included in the price. The rooms are small, bathrooms are too small and cramped, carpets in hall areas are very worn. The hotel needs serious upgrading. The area outside has late night into middle of night party goers making it very noisy.

The communication from the staff before arrival was fantastic. I arrived after there staffing hours, but was given key pad codes the day before my arrival. They also send me information on which train and subway lines to use and costs vs a taxi.
This hotel does no have air conditioning, but will supply fans. Unfortunately for me, I was in Lyon during one of the hottest weeks of the summer. Just beware, when booking this hotel of that risk.
The bathroom was a very small area for only one. There was not a lot of places to put your personal items, but there was a desk immediately from the bathroom door, that I used for my items.
The breakfast was great, and I require a gluten free option. The hotel went out of their way to accommodate and made certain that gluten free bread was available and other meal options, eggs, fruit, etc.
I would visit this hotel again as a solo traveler. I did have a double bed and a large room.

Excellent emplacement, l'hôtel occupe un étage d'un immeuble, ce qui fait que les chambres donnent sur la réception et que c'est assez bruyant lors des départs du matin.
En revanche le réceptionniste est une gentillesse incroyable
