The hotel staff are very nice, the location

I got a room on the 5th floor, the stairs up are quite exhausting even for a young person. I found a used ladies tampon on the room floor when entering the room the first time, rather disgusting (must have falled out when they were taking out the garbage). The room smelled bad and the wall-to-wall carpet looked like it had never been cleaned. Even the blanket smelled and looked very old.

The hotel's proximity to the train station and the town centre made it very convenient. Although we didn't need it, parking and breakfast were available onsite. There was free wi-fi, and the room had an ensuite with shower and washbasin. Overall, it was adequately clean, if shabby, and I found the bed quite comfortable. Room and bathroom were a good size.

Despite the ensuite, the toilet was in the hallway -- strange and less than convenient. Apparently this is a very French thing?? Overall there was suitable security (buzz code, 24/7 desk staff), but when we came back after the room had been cleaned, the cleaner had left the large windows fully open, with all our gear (including laptop) in full view of the buildings opposite, etc. -- we were on the floor above ground level, not really all that secure if someone really wanted to try to reach our room. Understandable that they might have wanted to air the stuffiness (it *was* a bit musty), but a bit alarming. We mentioned it to the staff at the desk as we checked out and they were apologetic.

The staff was kind.

For €80 I had expected a room with more comfort. Windows were leaking cold air and the room was almost completely filled with beds.

town centre, breakfast Ok and friendly staff

fifth floor without lift and two heavy bags, curtains falling off, communal toilets (not expecting that one)!

The Hotel was in a fantastic location and had helpful staff. We wish we could have spent more than 1 night there!!

Central position.Wi fi working(slowely, but...)

...ugh..it`s cheap for France, but the rooms are old and look a littl dirty. The toilet is on the corridor,the shower from the room is splashing in all directions and the sewage is cramped, transforming the shower tub in a foot bath.The walls seem made of paper...you can feel every move and sound around and the room trembles when the above neighbors move. The noise comes from the street, from the other rooms, from everywhere. Ah, not to forget: I took the room through booking.com and the hotel could not pre-check my credit card(don`t know why,their problem). For this reason, they threatened me in 10 emails that they cannot keep the room if i am not arriving in due time. "13 PM or th room is gone!"they said(where?!the hotel was rather empty..)Unfortunately, my plane really had a 4 hours delay and I was expecting to be confronted with a bad surprise at the hotel. But here no one seemed to know about the ultimatum sent over and over from the hotel... Off, fortunately I staid to Alexandra just one night...

It was very close to the centre

the toilets were in the corridor, even though the bathroom was massive in our room

Location

Walls too thin (noisy), no doors to the toilet.

The location is ideal, literally a few steps from a metro stop, and within walking distance of nearly every where you'd want to go in Lyon!

The cost is very economical, especially for such a fantastic location. The staff is very friendly and helpful, happy to answer questions. The room was very clean and the beds comfortable.

The furniture is a bit old, and there are a lot of stairs which older people might be concerned about. But I'll bet the staff would help anyone with luggage because they are so hospitable.

It was central, cheap, no frills, clean but basic

People are very nice and friendly. We were 4 and a baby. Good value for money, ideally located (underground + core of the city)

The stuff were very helpful and friendly, the hotel is at a very good place in Lyon. It was great.
