I booked this hotel before reading the reviews and nearly cancelled.... We stayed one night. It was adequate for one night, but for a longer stay we'd have booked somewhere closer to the sights. the location was good for us as we had a River Cruise booked and it is close to Quai Claude Bernard where the ships dock. We... More

It was a good deal but not a long stay. Location looks rough but we did not have any problem. By the Hotel to Walker... More

Saw bad reviews of this place and was dreading staying there, but found it perfectly pleasant. I didn't pay to stay here out of my own pocket so won't comment on value for money. Room was basic but a decent size & clean. Area of town seemed perfectly normal, not scary/grimy as suggested - I walked back at 4.30am with... More

Dated and in a dodgy part of town but within walking distance of everywhere. Breakfast was nice but rooms and bathrooms poor. Uncomfortable beds and housekeeping didn't always show up. If on a tight budget and not fussy then it's ok otherwise avoid if at all possible

It was so terrible!!!!!!! Very little room - only for 2 bed. And money, lap top, photocamera, dress and all cosmetics were stolen from our room. There wasn't any help from hotel service in this situation - neither free internet to connect with friends nor free telephone calls!!!!

I don't know what we were thinking. This hotel is in the GHETTO. It reeked of cigarettes & the first thing I thought was that this is where prostitutes bring their "clients." Went upstairs. It was disgusting. My eyes burned from cigarette fumes. The bed "pillows" were more like flotation noodles & weren't even in cases. They were rolled into... More

It's an old place in not the best part of Lyon (lot of homeless people and some intimidating people hanging around). As to 20-year-old girls we heard some whispering and whistling, but we didn't felt offended. We only paid 51€ for a night in a room with 2 separate beds and even a small flatscreen tv. The room was basic... More

Everything was terrible there. Arriving early, I let my luggage and discovered that there was no surveillance. The front desk guy was busy doing something else (another business apparently) and did not even care giving the key. Room was very noisy, not well furnished. There are definitely better places in Lyon, for comparable prices.

Wifi said to be provided on internet, yet a 5 Euro charge was added, extremely noisy (TV next door hearable, even the guy chuckling over a funny), old blankets and no normal pillows. Added bonus - hookers frequent lobby. Also, the room we were given a key to had someone in it. We wondered if our room was accessible to... More
