Pros:

Service and reception were very good

Cons:

The location of the hotel is quite unsafe, and can get noisy at night. I didnt think the carpet of the room was that clean.

Wer für kurze Zeit mit einer einfachen Unterkunft zurechtkommt, ist es okay
Pros:

Sehr gute Lage, Straßenbahnverbindung vom Hauptbahnhof und zu den Schiffsanlegestellen. Das Hotel und das Zimmer waren einfachst ausgestattet, dafür war es auch recht preiswert. Es war sauber und das Personal sehr freundlich.

Malgré quelques petits mécontentements, établissement recommandé pour un petit moment à Lyon avec des prix très raisonna
Pros:

L’établissement était proche du centre ville, disposait d’un parking fermé et d’un ascenseur. Nous avons été bien reçus par la personnel. La chambre et la salle de bains étaient très propres, la literie très confortable.

Cons:

La chambre n’était pas bien insonorisée. Il n’y avait qu’une seule prise électrique pas placée à un endroit pratique. Nous avons eu de l’eau tiède lors des prises de douches…! (certes,pas trop dérangeant à cette période où les températures extérieures sont à plus de 30ºC !… mais plus pour les futurs occupants à la période froide!..)

propre mais pas d'eau chaude...
Pros:

globalement, c'est correct. Pas tout neuf mais propre.

Cons:

il n'y avait pas d'eau chaude... le lendemain, la réception m'a répondu que c'était probablement à cause de travaux... Aucun geste proposé...

Pros:

Le calme et l’emplacement de l’établissement la sécurité mis en place

Cons:

Le personnel qui toque à notre chambre à 10:30 pour être sûr que nous allions partir la baignoire super mais sans rideau de douche un peut embarrassant on a mis de l’eau partout
