Good choice for an inexpensive hotel in Lyon. Good location. Simple clean and tidy rooms, courteous staff. No fridge in room and the bathroom while clean and tidy was 1970s vintage with shower in bath. You get what you pay for and I would recommend. Family rooms also a good option.

The hotel is a modest three star hotel and, at least in the case of my room, has small rooms. However the room was compact and designed to make maximum use of the available space. Everything was immaculate and the staff friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet is modest but tasteful. In short it offers excellent value for a hotel of this level.

Very charming with excellent views

Very charming hotel, with a nod to the classic hospitality of Italy in the 50’s and 60’s. Get the fountain view for sure, and have breakfast upstairs on the terrace. The staff was great, helpful and informative.

Very clean and pleasant hotel in a very convenient location. The down sides were that there was noisy building work being done across the road first thing in the mornings and the air con didn’t work which resulted in a very hot and stuffy room to sleep in

We appreciated the warm greeting from Clotilde. The hotel is near the tram (roughly two blocks away) and the metro. The breakfast buffet is filling and costs e16.00/person. There are patisseries nearby and the U Express grocery store if you’d rather not have breakfast at the hotel. Please don’t complain about the size of the rooms! This is Europe and a charming hotel. If you want it super-sized, then go to the States. We had a lovely stay, in a quiet neighborhood and felt like one of the locals.

It was comfortable, older style with some internal upgrades. Unfortunately we needed parking and the price was increased to 35 euros per night (about $56 Australian), which is a lot, so we saved a bit by skipping the 16 euro per person breakfast and ate elsewhere for a lot less.
