Good
The room was fairly small, but adequate. Breakfast was pretty good. Location near Pe
The bathroom needs a bit of renovation. The shower was quirky; the length of the hand shower was too short for anyone over 5 feet. There are ongoing repairs and the fire alarm went off twice - once at 11pm.

The room was with good size and the small balcony was nice. also the view was nice. The breakfast was really good. The stuff at reception was very friendly and supported really well.
The shower did not work that well as water was coming only from a few spots. The lady at breakfast was somehow unhappy with us.

Room was much bigger than typical with balcony and view of park and church. Comfortable hang out area in lobby and small adjoining bar. Very friendly, helpful staff. Good breakfast
Not for those who want to be in centre or right in old Lyon (we didn't care)

Great location- next to Lyon Perrache Gare. Close to confluence. And easy 30 min scenic walk to vieux Lyon. I like the courtyard and large rooms. Convenient separate toilet from bathroom in the room - Makes it more pleasant. Quiet location. Travel partner had a stomach bug our first night and the night staff, Isaac, was extremely helpful and supportive. Day staff had helpful suggestions and Also they kindly gave us extended checkout.

The hotel turned out to be much nicer than I expected for this price and location. The staff were very polite, and everything was extremely clean. The public transport connection is excellent, with a convenient stop right in front of the hotel. It’s also close enough to the city center to walk. The continental breakfast was standard but made with fresh products, which made it very good. The coffee wasn’t great, but that’s quite common with buffet breakfasts. I recommend this hotel for a short stay — I would definitely stay here again.

Poor
Upon arrival, I asked the staff member for a quiet room, and she did her best to accommodate me. However, my window still faced the main road, and it was extremely loud, I couldn’t sleep even with earplugs. It only became quieter after 2 am, but not for long. Everything in the hotel feels quite worn out, though the price was reasonable for the quality you get. Breakfast was included, and it was okay.

The staff was so wonderful! Informative, helpful, efficient, and very friendly and engaging! Set up a great wine trip for us with Sebastian, assisted with train schedules, and took care of every need. Valerie particularly as well as lovely lady who checked us into hotel. Breakfast nice.
Room temperature warm and couldn’t change.

Staff was great.
It looked lower than a four star hotel.

The check-in process was smooth.
For a 4-star hotel, I was disappointed by the lack of essential facilities. There was no iron in the room, and no basic amenities like a toothbrush, toothpaste, slippers, or socks were provided. The room did not have a smart TV, fridge, or even a landline phone to contact reception. Additionally, the hairdryer kept stopping every minute, making it difficult to use.

Four star hotel in most ways. Very comfortable there. Great staff.
Four stars with some correctable flaws. Do not put guests in room only feet from conference room doors with people talking and eating and food smells. Enclose walkway between new bldg and old bldg which has the breakfast room.  Cold am walk without coats.  Hate to see this in winter. Grab bar in shower needed . Only one TV channel in English. Room telephone not working Yogurt and cut fruit would be good at breakfast.

The staff was super nice and very very helpful. The beds were okay and the toilet was also alright. The big plus was the balcony.
Sadly we didn't know that the rooms were in a separate building that had to be accessed by leaving the reception area and then taking another single elevator which was serving like 6 floors and so at times it was a long wait if there were people before you. The room size isn't accurately described in the description as it also includes balcony space which is kinda your room space, but you're not gonna use it for keeping your suitcase or for your living purposes, so the actual living space which is usable is at least 5-6 square meters less than what is mentioned.

Clean and comfortable rooms with a comprehensive buffet breakfast. Extremely convenient location for accessing the train system.
Quite expensive for a small room with cramped bathroom/toilet.
