Een mooie uitvalsbasis om Lyon te verkennen, dicht bij metro, tram en trein.
Pros:

Heel ruime kamer, goed werkende airco, goed bed; toilet apart; mogelijkheid om aan drankfonteintjes vers (gekoeld) water te nemen om je fles bij te vullen.

Cons:

Een kleine frigo (of minibar) op de kamer om drank fris te houden zou een meerwaarde zijn. Doordat we er 5 nachten verbleven hadden we wat meer variatie in het ontbijt verwacht, hoewel het op zich lekker was.

OK
Pros:

Pobyt w Hotelu Charlemagne by HappyCulture oceniam pozytywnie, choć z kilkoma zastrzeżeniami. Hotel ma doskonałą lokalizację, która pozwala wygodnie poruszać się po mieście i stanowi jego największy atut. Pokój był czysty i dobrze przygotowany, a obsługa miła i pomocna, co zdecydowanie poprawia komfort pobytu.
Podsumowując: świetna lokalizacja, czystość i przyjazny personel na plus; remont i braki w ofercie śniadaniowej na minus. Mimo niedogodności pobyt był udany, choć z pewnym polem do poprawy.

Cons:

Mało urozmaicone menu śniadaniowe - brak owoców i warzyw.

Pros:

Posizione davvero ottima, vicinossima alla metro. In 4 fermate sei in pieno centro.
Se si vuole camminare ci vogliono circa 30 minuti a piedi (fattibile, se non fa troppo caldo).

Cons:

Sconsigliato se si è fumatori. Anche 0agando di più per una camera con balcone non si può fumare all'esteno e bosogna scendere nella terrazza comune.

Pros:

Le personnel, l'emplacement avec la déserte des transport en commun proche.

Cons:

Le chantier à l'arrivée, les bouteilles d'eau à récupérer au RDC, l'ascenseur limité en volume, pas de point piscine même si ce n'est pas le but premier d'un hôtel, cependant avec cette chaleur ça aurait été plus agréable.

Pros:

J aime le confort de l hôtel même si pour le moment il est pas mal en travaux, le personnel est top, en plus j étais sur classée

Cons:

Les toilettes sont assez petits, et un ascenseur pour 7 étages, patience, patience, attention au passage extérieur quand il pleut fort

Hotel is een bouwplaats
Pros:

Ruime kamer

Cons:

Het hotel is aan het verbouwen en dat geeft overlast. Niet door lawaai, maar er lopen bouwvakkers, sommige ingangen zijn afgeschermd met plastic en de tuin is nu bouwopslag en de plek voor opslag van rommel/bouwafval.
