great locationawesome bedlittle balconymusty smell
the hotel location was great because it's close to the train station. the beds were very awesome, and i found the staff was nice too. my room had a little balcony and that met my request to be put on the highest floor.
i noticed musty smells from the carpets and in the room. the furnishings seemed old. there was no coffee or tea in the room even with a kettle provided.

the location was amazing, very close to gare de lyon. the staff were helpful. there were restaurants nearby and easy bus rides to the rest of the city. the room was reasonably equipped and clean.
The room was a bit dated with worn furniture. The decor could use an update. lights did not work in the corridor though. Fire precautions should be updated.

the standard double room offered a tv and coffee making facilities, though it was a bit small. it included a desk for working but the bathroom was a tight squeeze! with limited space around the toilet.
Dining

breakfast included a machine dispensing coffee, but fresh options were limited. buying milk for tea was necessary since it was not provided in the room, there are many restaurants and cafes nearby.

The location is ideal for anyone using gare de lyon. It is a short walk. access to other parts of the city is easy via bus rides and the opera is also easily accessible. many shops are within walking distance.
