This is a well located hotel for central Lyon. It has a delightful reception, lounge and breakfast restaurant area. The breakfast although 16 euros is great with good choice. The staff could not be more helpful. The rooms do let this hotel down, as they are small and have been updated in a more contemporary style. The curtains are not well positioned to cover the windows and so let in a lot of light and do not provide privacy. The bathrooms are very small and some are in need of updating.

Hotel is well located with quiet and clean rooms and very friendly staff. I was in a double room and it was small but comfortable for one. I think the smaller room would have been a struggle. Breakfast was good. Only downside was that the mattress was quite lumpy. Overall, a solid 3 star hotel.
