You can walk around the city from here but a disappointing hotel for a 4 star rating
Pros:

I was disappointed with this hotel, it certainly didn't have the ambiance of 4 stars. My husband and I stayed here for three nights at the end of February in a booking made by a cultural association that we were travelling with. Our room had a very old fashioned feel and the bed was comfortable but we had just one small pillow each. The shower room had a shower with a black plastic shower curtain, there was no shower cap supplied and the lighting was very poor for applying make-up. No magnifying mirror. The wardrobe was very difficult to share as the hanging space comprised a hanging rail that went from front to back rather than from side to side, so very difficult to access anything. I kept most of my clothes in my suitcase. The hotel offered a free drink at the bar if you chose not to have your room made up!
The breakfasts were good and the staff efficient. The bar was also a pleasant place to sit. There are steps everywhere in the hotel, the ones immediately in front of the lift were particularly difficult to negotiate.
The hotel is situated in a neighbourhood that offers fairly quick access to the interesting parts of Lyon but the area itself is not good for quality restaurants, the ones in the immediate vicinity offer very traditional Lyonnaise cooking (ie meat, potatoes and gravy), very little fish and not the modern Lyonnaise cooking that I was hoping to enjoy.

Un hôtel correct
Pros:

L’emplacement proche Hôtel de Ville
Le petit déjeuner correct compris dans le tarif

Cons:

Inaccessible en auto, travaux, sens interdits, impossible de stationner devant l’hôtel sur un seul espace minute…
L’espace bassin dangereux aménagé sous un plafond très bas et glissant, température de l’eau juste fraiche.
Juste une curiosité mais pas un espace détente…
Communs vieillots avec multiples escaliers étroits pour circuler.

Hôtel très très moyen
Pros:

L emplacement

Cons:

Taille des chambres, deco obsolète, très très bruyant, nous entendions les ronflements des chambres voisines, le craquements du parquet de tout l étage … ce n est pas un 4 étoiles … personnel gentil mais pas formé en hôtellerie ça c est sure … quand on se dit 4 étoiles il y a un minimum

Ottima posizione, silenzioso e camera comoda
Pros:

Posizione centrale, vicino ai ristoranti e negozi. Ottima posizione. Stanza silenziosa, letti comodi, colazione abbondante e buona in un ambiente molto carino. Non avevo il costume e me lo hannno prestato gratuitamente, l'ho apprezzato personalmente.

Cons:

Lo yacuzzi era freddo, direi 30°C, peccato perché la piscina e lo yacuzzi sono messi in un posto bellissimo dentro le mura!
