We were extremely satisfied. The hotel's location is excellent, just a 5-minute walk from Perrache Gar Station. There is a tram passing in front of the hotel, and it is close to all public transportation options. We visited during Christmas, and it was also within walking distance of the Lyon Christmas market. Old Town is about a 15-20 minute walk. The hotel was very clean, and the breakfast was great!! The staff were very friendly and helpful. I had requested a room with a city view, and they arranged it for us. Despite being in the city center, the hotel was well-insulated from outside noise. We had a very comfortable and enjoyable holiday.

The location is great with trams and perrache stations in a minutes walk. The room was comfortable and cleaned daily. The staff were lovely and some little extras like the sweets and water at reception. The staff were also lovely and keen to ensure you are having a good stay. Breakfast was nice although very busy. Our room was large and the beds were comfortable.

The hotel is in need of an upgrade especially the communal area and is not your standard 4 star hotel. The prices are 3 star so this is what you get but in the end we enjoyed our stay in this hotel

Loved the facility, and will recommend. Enjoyed the designated smoking area, as most places force you onto the street. My room, 213 was so nice and quiet, facing the courtyard. Front desk staff were always helpful, and spoke English.

The breakfast was…ok. And each time I tried to use the egg boiler, someone kept taking my eggs! Like, they weren’t even finished cooking! Errrgh! Out of 4 eggs I attempted to prepare for myself, I managed to save one. I think the layout was not organized well, because there was constant crowding in areas. I couldn’t adjust the heat/air con in the room, so had to open and close the window to cool the room.

Loved the view from the room, the quiet, the facilities in the room ( the little office area and separate toilet and bathroom). Plenty of space for our things, the availability of water, lovely breakfast, helpful & friendly staff. Nice outdoor area. All good. X

When we arrived, our waste-bin had not been emptied. I wrote to the hotel prior to our visit, to let them know that my daughter may be arriving before 15:00 and requested that the room be made available for her. They seemed to have no knowledge of that and she still had to wait a while before she was let in. Fortunately, not too long. Did the message ever get through to the duty staff?

The room and main bathroom was a decent size, although the toilet room was very tiny! Bed was comfy and we had a nice view of a park and church from our room and balcony. Room was modern and clean. Staff was friendly, breakfast was delicious with lots of items to choose from. There is an elevator but you must go through the lobby and down an outdoor covered walkway to another portion of the building to access it. There is a bar and restaurant on-site although the restaurant was not open for the few days we were there. There are several restaurants within walking distance. Public transportation within walking distance too. We drove here by car and fortunately there was free street parking over the weekend. Otherwise you pay per hour or day to park. We would stay here again.

No complaints! There was nothing to change. Nice place.

The hotel has a very good location if you want to be near the Perache railway station, but it is not so practical if you like to walk to other parts of the Presquile and Vieux Lyon because it is on the southern end of Presquile and you have to walk under or over the train station to get everywhere. We ended taking the tram and connecting with the metro just to get to Place Bellecour and then start our walking tours of Lyon from there. The rooms was nice, a good sized bathroom which seems to be recently renovated. The breakfast is great, big choice of food and drinks. The staff was very very polite and friendly.

I expected that for a four-star hotel the room would be a little higher end. It was small and we felt a bit cramped.

Really perfect location for discovering City of Lyon and Olympic games. Delicious breakfast. On every floor, fresh water stations. Everywhere, (Hotel/City) the staffs were very friendly and helpful. The parking solution is easy going, only 5' walk nearby. Same with the train station "Perrache".

The separate toilet room is very small. It's not possible to turn inside. The distance between door and knees (sitting) maximum 5cm and I'm not a tall man... Public transfer not included in ticket for football match (€ 105 for one person)! I know, it's not problem of the hotel😉

Breakfast was terrific. Lots of choice and helpful staff. Reception staff,particularly Camille and Lucy were brilliant and helped us so many times wuth a few problems we had with the room safe and my phone! Quiet room, nice decor, good bar area.

Lack of readable room information, the safe was on a weird angle on the cupboard floor and you had to be a double jointed gymnast to use it. Location needed a rather unpleasant walk through wet railway tunnels to get to the centre, lots of rough sleepers and ' dodgy looking' characters there. Few restaurants on the hotels area.

Very confortable bed! Staff was very helpful and nice! Tasty breakfast

I'd have loved to be able to make the room slightly warmer but room temperature was locked. I could hear the other guests "enjoying the bed",needs better sound proofing? Breakfast room was packed,had to wait for a table. Breakfast room felt understaffed, different foods and even clean plates weren't getting replenished in a reasonable timeframe

The staff were exceptional! The receptionists in particular were so lovely, very smiley and helpful, they made me feel very welcomed. The breakfast was good - there was a large selection of foods available, as to be expected at a continental breakfast. Great location - so close to the train station and the walk to the centre is basically a straight road so it was very easy to navigate the city

Maybe just that some things like the carpet looked like they needed a deep clean but other than that it was excellent.
