Very nice, clean and friendly hotel. The room had everything I needed but was very, very small. ( Not unlike many hotels in Paris ). If you are traveling by train, as I was, the gare de Lyon Station is only a block away.

My friend and I really enjoyed our time at this hotel. The location was a huge plus for us; it's in a very safe area and so convenient for getting around, with Gare de Lyon just a short walk away. We also loved that there were so many restaurants nearby to choose from. The room itself was very clean and comfortable. A nice bonus was the smart TV, which allowed us to easily cast videos from our phones. We'd definitely stay here again.

Two night stay near Gare de Lyon

Had a pleasant 2 night stay at Hotel de France. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Room was a bit small and internal facing, but bed was very comfortable. Shower not great, low pressure. Location was great for restaurants, Gare de Lyon and buses, metro etc.

Like others our room was at the back with view of a wall, but it was very quiet and the room - though small - was very comfortable. Breakfast is a good selection, and the staff are helpful. It is good to have the 24 hour reception. The hotel is ideally placed for Gare De Lyon.
