Pros:

Location is excellent

Cons:

The toilet was dirty, someone used it and left toilet paper in it. Smells like someone has been smoking a lot in the room. Rooms need renovation

Okay für Städte Trip
Pros:

Das Zimmer hat uns gefallen. Alles andere im Hotel ist momentan eine Baustelle oder schonen die Jahre gekommen. Dementsprechend waren Flure abgehängt und der erste Eindruck eingeschränkt.

Cons:

Wie beschrieben. Dadurch konnten wir beim Frühstück den Innenhof nicht nutzen

Pros:

emplacement intéressant entre la gare de Perrache et Confluences. Chambre spacieuse, propre, avec une très bonne literie. Salle de bains pratique, et WC séparés.

Cons:

hôtel dans son jus, déco années 80 à rafraîchir. pas de bouteille d'eau ni de frigo dans la chambre (mais une fontaine à eau au rez-de-chaussée). petit-déjeuner moyen pour un 4 étoiles (pas de yaourts ni de salade de fruits notamment). du coup, rapport qualité-prix un peu décevant au global.
