The hotel is quite distant from the metro station and not many shops nearby but the staff is super helpful and the hotel is spacious and cozy. There is a smart TV in the room too so you can access Netflix and YouTube!

The location is great, right in the city center. The host was very welcoming; we arrived super early on the first day and stayed in the lobby for a long time, and they didn't rush us out. The room is super small, and even though there are two bathrooms, one is only for showering and not for using the toilet. The toilet in the other bathroom had some issues with the hot water. Only one of the two bedrooms has a door. However, considering the low price and cleanliness, it's still worth it.

The hotel's location is great, just about 100 meters from the subway exit. There's a supermarket about a 5-minute walk away, and during the day, there's a small market near the subway station where you can buy fresh fruit. Being on the main road means you don't have to worry about coming back late at night. The room size was decent, especially considering European rooms tend to be small, and the cleanliness was also good. My only complaint is the terrible soundproofing; you can hear people walking around upstairs very clearly, which made it hard to sleep at night.

Single room was very spacious and the hotel is at a perfect location. Has a little cute pool although the water is a bit too cold for winter. Everything was fine but curiously they put up the history of the ground in the hotel corridor which I found quite creepy for solo travelers lol

This hotel was good for short stay with all basic needs such as shower, bed, sink, kettle and mini-shove, just no hair drier. Hotel staff was nice and friendly. However, it is worth to mention that there is no suitcase storage in the hotel. In terms of location, although this hotel is sitting next to an education Center and the main road with busy traffic, evening was quiet enough for some quality sleep. When considering it is just 5 min walk from Gorge Dr Loup Station, the location is ok.

It's a bit of a walk uphill to get there, but in about ten minutes, you can reach Place Graslin, the City Hall, and the art museum, which is super convenient. The front desk staff were very warm and friendly, and the place was clean. My only minor gripe is that we received four coffee capsules upon check-in (for a double room, staying three nights). It would have been great to get two more capsules each day, as the coffee downstairs is not complimentary.

The room was clean and tidy, with great natural light, and the bedding was comfortable, so I slept soundly. The facilities were complete, and the soundproofing was good, making the overall environment quiet and peaceful. The front desk service was warm and attentive, and check-in and check-out were very quick. The location is convenient for getting around, and it offers excellent value for money. I will definitely choose this hotel again for my next trip.

The check-in process. I arrived at 10 PM and discovered it was impossible to access the property without first completing an online registration to get an access code. The most frustrating part was having to pay the city tax separately online before receiving this crucial code. Why isn't this tax included directly in the total price when booking online? It would avoid cumbersome steps on a smartphone in front of the door late at night, especially when the room is already paid for. Automation should simplify the customer's life, not add administrative hurdles in the middle of the night. I do not recommend this establishment if you're looking for a smooth experience.

I love this hotel. Take some walk you can get to metro station then visit many places! Vieux lyon , Fourviere, the halle de Lyon , parc de tete d'or . There are everything you need , microwave, TV water boiler, refrigerator, hangers, a cabin for cups ,plates , and cooking stove . This is the hotel I have seen that offers most for the customers !impressive The only point I could pick is that it is not 24 hours reception. When I got there ,it already evening 10pm. I can only contact by phone and follow the instructions by calling But the problem is I couldn't call when I don't have roaming nor French Sim card . This is quite nervous for me... i even not good at english numbering ,so if you couldn't really speak english nor french . Please be careful not to check in out of working hour ( it would be better if there is more urgent contact way )or maybe this is my problem.... Luckily I met a realllly kind customer, who helped me make the call and solve the check in problemwith me . Without him ,i can't imagine what would happen I mean .I really appreciate him (not sure if he would see this )also this kind gesture create a great impression to this trip !

Great location, 5min walk to the station, there’s a nice restaurant next door as well as a small shop to buy any last minute toiletries or snacks and drinks. The room itself was good, small bathroom but the beds were comfy and it just does the job. Would stay again if I visit Lyon again.
