CONFORTABLE Y BUENA UBICACION
Pros:

Ubicacion excelente a 5 minutos de una terminal de Metro y Trans que permiten el transporte a cualquier lugar de la ciudad. Si bien no es un hotel de alta categoria, cumple sus fines, personal muy atento y a 24h, el desayuno muy bueno, habitacion no muy grande pero es suficiente si la intencion es conocer la ciudad y no estar metido en la habitacion. Es bastante centrico, a una cuadra queda una plaza concurida, con cafes y restaurants. Muy cerca de la Plaza Bellecour que ves el centro de la ciudad.

Cons:

Como el hotel es antiguo, hace que el baño sea con tina. Es un poco incomoda para ducharse aunque cuenta con los implementos de una ducha, en especial para personas mayores que les es dificil entrar ademas del peligro de resbalarse por lo que seria importante de evaluar la posibilidad de cambiarla por ducha, al menos por lo pronto, instalarle una manija, pues no hay donde cogerse
