Very Good

This hotel is close to the tram stop which was very convenient. The hotel looks newer and that is reflected in the rooms. The room was large for three people. Everything looked clean. Breakfast was extensive! There was coconut yogurt and almond milk for those that don't eat dairy.
I loved our family suite that came with free complimentary drinks in our fridge and complimentary toiletries. However the lighting in the main bedroom was poor design.

Okay for one night
Service was good, location was good, breakfast was good and secure parking in the garage. The rooms could need an upgrade, but it’s okay for one night. The pool is a lot smaller in real life than it looks like in the picture.

Nothing bad but nothing good was what we agreed Asa a family. Staff were the bright point, very helpful and friendly.
Good stay, safe parking, close tram stops from where you can easily reach the old city. Front desk staff was very nice, helpful, with a good sence of humour and made us feel very welcomed.
Some water in the room would have been nice.
Clean hotel with the bare essentials. Location is a distance from historic region of Lyon~ 3 miles. Walking it took us 45 minutes but public transit is really close. Restaurant on site is limited in hours and only serves breakfast and dinner at set times. Staff were friendly and helpful.
We stayed there before and its a nice and conveniently located hotel. It get's a bit old and some of the fixtures would require updating. The restaurant was nice and the food good. We will come back when travelling in this direction next time
Good base in the south of Lyon city centre - 5 mins walk to a tram stop to travel into the city centre. The Breakfast buffet had a lot of options for us as a family. The communal pool is small, but good - towels for the pool are 2 euros from reception. Parking is underground at 14 euros. Restaurant on an evening is friendly.

Rooms very small for 2 adults plus 1 child. Is out of the way but tram & metro close by.
Room and bathroom need updating. Although beds are very comfortable & breakfast is good.
From arrival the lady serving us greeted me with a friendly ‘bonjour’ and when I said Hello in English, her face instantly changed to a look of disgust….do your staff not like the British? I don’t complain easily but unfortunately due to the events as follows we were really let down. The room really wasnt up to an executive standard. the mattresses and pillows are VERY stained, there is only one bin for the whole place and thats in the bathroom, the walls are so thin we could hear everyone in other rooms so sleeping was difficult. we didnt have any complimentary items in the fridge-no water, soft drinks or food. there were no free toiletries in the bathroom as stated.the shower is too low so we had to stoop under it and the adjustable shower head doesnt work. the shower tray is dirty and the conditioner bottle empty. There is no rail when coming out and is dangerous to take a big step down.we were only given 2 coffee pods and one dressing gown for a family of 4.1 cracked mug by the kettle. 2 of the wall sockets dont work and we tried several plugs so its definitely the sockets. the interjoining door to another room doesnt lock so the otherside could easily walk in if they wanted but we put things against the door just in case. the advert for the stay is misleading as it says a seperate bedroom but its all in one room! i had to ask for all the missing items and was brought a chocolate bar, 3 cans for the fridge and for the fridge and some paper cups. No water bottles

Decent stay located just 5 minutes from the city by tram.
We stopped over for the night on our way to the Mediterranean sea and it was a pleasant stay. The pool was great for the kids and the restaurant had good food! Also really close to downtown.
The hotel is ok, staff friendy and good options inside the hotel. However, it is not so close to the old town, it takes more than 15 minutes by car. Our room fridge was not working, we informed the reception, yet it was never fixed. The rooms are ok, but not sound proof. We heard everything from the corridor, and it was pretty noisy.
