The hotel's rooms, though comfortable, are in bad shape and need renovation. The service was very helpful overall but had some lapses. The location is very central, offering convenient access to public transportation and free parking in August. The dining experience was basic, lacking local ingredients. The facilities were adequate but could be improved.

The hotel is a gem hidden within Lyon's charm, boasting bright, spotless rooms with a small balcony but somewhat limited plug sockets. The service is top-notch, except for the chambermaids, offering good value for money. The location is superb, just a short stroll from the train station and the city center. Dining options are decent, with a variety of breakfast choices available. Overall, a delightful stay with a few minor hiccups.

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel's great location near the park, despite the narrow balconies that came with the room due to the low tariff.

The convenience of the location made up for any shortcomings, especially being close to public transport.
