Pros:

Mon expérience à l'hôtel des facultés a été parfaite. Quelle joie de pouvoir se loger à Lyon à un prix imbattable !

J'ai apprécié l'accueil chaleureux m'a été réservé, la chambre et les draps propres, le lit confortable.

Quand je lis certains commentaires je crois qu'il faut recentrer les choses : rappelons que c'est un hôtel 1 étoile à un prix défiant toute concurrence en plein centre de Lyon avec toutes les commodités à portée de main.

Le rapport qualité/prix est exceptionnel et je suis bien heureuse d'avoir pu me loger à ces conditions. 

Je recommande chaudement et je séjournerai à nouveau prochainement dans cet hôtel.

Pros:

Great price and value.

Easy to check in after midnight with keycodes.

Cons:

Had to make up the bed first night.

Some plumbing noise in the room - but expected and worth it with the price.

Pros:

L'emplacement proche du métro, des commerces et pas loin des bords du Rhône.

Cons:

Propreté et hygiène très moyenne. En ouvrant les draps de mon lit, un cheveu qui n'était pas le mien. Le sol n'était pas net et au milieu de la nuit j'ai commencé à me gratter fréquemment...puces ? 😕

Clean enough but grim
Pros:

Location was near one of the main stations + a nice bakery on the doorstep

Cons:

Photos of bedrooms are misleading — they make it look more pleasant than it is in reality. My room was tiny and poky and grim — there’s no other word for it. The bed was like a camping bed, definitely would only fit one and was extremely uncomfortable. The curtain (if it can be called that) didn’t cover the window. It felt a bit like I was staying in an abandoned house (although it was clean enough). Also, walls were extremely thin — could hear the slightest sound — and there was a lot of sound from 4am onwards. Of course it’s a budget stay but I was on edge the whole time and barely slept so I’d say it was not worth the money at all.

Pros:

Les photos correspondent bien à la réalité. Le prix est justifié sans sacrifier le confort. Le personnel est sympa et les instructions étaient claires concernant le processus check-in et check-out.

Cons:

La douche aurait pu être améliorée en ajoutant un rideau de douche.

Consigliata solo per un pernottamento molto breve o last minut
Pros:

É posizionata vicino a molti ristoranti/bar e non troppo lontana dai mezzi di trasporto

Cons:

La pulizia, il fatto che la doccia fosse nel corridoio opposto a dove era la stanza
