The hotel was a good surprise. We had a cozy room but it was enough to host our family with 2 small kids. The staff was fantastic and very helpful. The hotel location is very convenient, close to the Perrache train station (walkable) and with plenty of restaurants close by. We had a very comfortable stay.

La chambre était super, le service également! Le seul hic c’est que l’hôtel est située sur une rue très passante avec beaucoup de construction qui commence dès 8am. Nous avons apprécié notre séjour, et Lyon est une ville magnifique.

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.
