Rooms are tiny but clean. Has a tiny lift which stops between floor so there is still some stair climbing with your baggage.. No aircon, no fridge so it could be hot in summer. Easy 5 minute walk to Gare De Lyon. Stayed just two nights. More

The only reason we picked this "hotel" was because of the location. It's literally a two minute walk from Gare de Lyon station, and it was very convenient since we had an early train to catch the next morning and we just needed a place to stay and shower.

The decor was somewhat minimal. The location is quite good with a metro station and the Gare de Lyon train station right next to the... More

we choose to stay at Hotel Helvetia because of it's proximity to the train station. It was reasonable clean and comfortable. Breakfast was included and we enjoyed the coffee very much. Simple breakfast of cheese and rolls. It was great to have. The hotel is adequate in every way. Would stay there again. More

This hotel is situated not far from the Gare de Lyon railway station, so, if you come to Paris by train or are planning to take a train afterwards, it's a good location.
