A 10 minute walk from Part Dieu station and very close to one of the excellent Paul Bocuse bistros (L'Est) it's very much like a traditional Paris hotel, compact but very serviceable with affable staff and a good breakfast, if a little expensive. Good value for this part of town though the first time we stayed (via an SNCF website and a discount price) the room was not the best in the place. But that's what you expect if you cut their margins I suppose.

I love this hotel. The staff is amazing! They are very helpful and kind. They will print out driving directions to anywhere you need to go and they give good recomendations for resturants. The rooms are clean and large for a European hotel. The decor was a rich red and gold. It is worth the extra 11 euros to park in their parking garage. The hotel is 12 min walk to the train station and 5 min walk the major city park. I have stayed in other hotels in Lyon and this is the only one I have and will return to!

This hotel was presented as a three star hotel. The room we were given was far below this standard. It was so small we had nowhere to put suitcases except on the bed. There was no outlook, the window being well above head height and covered with a dusty sheer curtain. A large section of the room was taken up with a sort of bulkhead projection into the room from the room below. This meant I had to slide along this wall sideways to get to my side of the bed. The room was sold to us as airconditioned but the only unit in the room appeared to be a heater which didn't work anyway. The staff were unhelpful and patronising saying that this was one of their standard rooms and was what we had paid for. We got the impression that we were given the last room in the hotel ( we arrived at about 6:00pm). By comparison with other hotels we stayed in later this was far and away the most appalling rip-off .
