Great welcome and super friendly staff!

I stayed 2 nights on business. All the staff were super helpful, very welcoming and friendly. The room was comfortable but could perhaps do with some upgrading. It would have been good if the hotel sold cold drinks as I had to go out after finishing work at c 21:00 and Villeurbanne did not feel terribly safe.

It smelled cigarette (very very badly) in our room, it did not look dirty but not clean either. Towels were torn appart. It took 20 minutes to get hot water from the tap. Wifi doesn’t work well and crahes all the time. The breakfasts however were worth it and the room was quiet.

Horrible experience

I've been reserving different hotels in last 15 years and this was the worst hotel I've ever been. First, there were no heating during my 2-nights stay and outside was -4°C! There were one small heater in the room which couldn't heat anything, but only for one night, because it broke down. First night there were no hot water too, for shower, but I wasn't noticed, although they knew about that. At last there were one woman at the reception who was speaking decent English while I was checking-in, but suddenly forget it when I start complaining. She pretend not to know what means "heating" and just go away behind the door, refusing to talk, even I was just asking what is happening! Never again in this garbage hotel!

Bonjour Après un court séjour Je trouve que l'hôtel est bien , proche des commodités. Interieur un peu vieillot , quelques petit bémols en chambre que j’ai notifié. Le nettoyage mérite d'être mieux fait . Le service manque un peu de sourire 😃. Concernant le prix il fût de 63€ la nuit ( pas de mini bar donc pas de quoi mettre une boisson au frais..) cela dit moi qui compte venir un peu plus souvent sur Lyon et dans ce secteur.. 50€ la nuit je signe tout de suite ✍️ Cordialement

Excellent accueil des hôtesses en particulier celle du soir dans hélas un hôtel vieillissant avec des traces d usures fortes du mobilier, de la peinture, de l'équipement salle de bain (fuites, traces de rouilles à certains endroits, ...) Dommage car hôtel très bine situé à proximité du Métro (10 minutes de la gare SNCF du centre ville le Vieux Lyon) et la qualité du personnel ...
