“Bad experience”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 July 2010

person found this review helpful

We stayed in this hotel for one night (thank goodness only one) to be close to the airport bus the next morning. Although convenient enough, there are many negative things about this hotel. On arriving on the hotel street, we were greeted by a burnt out bin (I know not hotel's fault but not great start). Inside I thought the place was gloomy and the person at reception not particularly friendly, but the room was the worst bit. It was so cramped with no wardrobe (just a hanging rail) and in the bathroom you could hardly swing a cat. There was water all over the bathroom floor as well so not pleasant. As for trying to sleep, well we were next to the train line and it felt like a train was going to rush in and mow us down at any minute! Not a great night's sleep. I wouldn't recommend this hotel at all.

“Good location, otherwise unremarkable”

I was travelling by car and the road in front of the hotel was under construction. I could park there on Sunday night free of charge but then had to move my car to the train station parking at €14.00 /day. I think that otherwise, the street parking in front of the hotel is free if you can find a space. My room rate did not include breakfast and I didn't eat there. There are lots of places to pick up a continental breakfast near the train station.

The hotel is in a good neighborhood just north of the main train station. The reception hospitality was uneven. It was better on Monday than on Sunday. The room was small and furniture utilitarian but functional. The hotel is near the train tracks. The window was double pained but the train noise did penetrate slightly. The worst was the sound of a squeaky and drippy faucet next door. As the low price internet option in Lyon, I guess I can't complain too much.

  • Liked — Location and low cost option
  • Disliked — Hospitality uneven, sounds in the room.
