convenient stay near the station

clean room convenient outlets

the rooms were clean and modern. i found enough space for a couple traveling but maybe not for two suitcases. the windows were nice and outlets next to the bed were a big plus. the hotel itself is clean and well kept. i found the area good with plenty of shopping and public transportation.

i noticed bad sound isolation. sounds from the hallway and other rooms were hearable. breakfast seemed poor compared to the price. they have a system where you hand in your card every time you leave. it.

Average stay near Gare de Lyon

excessive noise unhelpful staff

The noise was excessive. I was on a lower floor, so I heard people walking by at all hours. It was constant. I wish I had brought earplugs. the staff could have been more helpful. I reminded me of I was bothering them whenever I asked a question.

Acceptable stay near transport

convenient location twenty four hour reception poor breakfast bad isolation

This hotel has a great location close to the metro and Gare de Lyon train station. The reception worked twenty four hour and this feature was great. Fresh towels came with daily room service. The room was clean.

Sound isolation was bad. I could hear sounds from the hallway. Breakfast seemed poor. It wasn't worth the money I paid.

really good cleanliness convenient location aggressive host late checkout

the cleanliness captivated me. the location near the station eases my travels. i find local shops and eateries abound, it really adds to the charm. i am satisfied with all this convenience. it feels like a warm embrace.

the check-out proved a little jarring, i must admit. i was a bit late, and they called three times then opened my door. i felt a bit hurt by the aggressiveness. i am not use to this.
