Good choice for an inexpensive hotel in Lyon. Good location. Simple clean and tidy rooms, courteous staff. No fridge in room and the bathroom while clean and tidy was 1970s vintage with shower in bath. You get what you pay for and I would recommend. Family rooms also a good option.

It is at a prime location. However the toilet has a strong odor and the hair dryer is a joke because it constantly shuts off after overheating.

its clean enough but the upper bunk bed I think its too dangerous even for my 10 yo. The guardrails is too low as the mattress is too thick. The family room decor is a bit dated compare to the other rooms I can see in photo but clean enough.
