It is, to be fair, pretty basic hotel so don’t be expecting the Ritz. However, it’s in a great location for concerts/ sports events etc. and the bar area and breakfast was really good.

We stay here approx 6 times a year as we support Lou rugby. The stade de Gerland is a 5 min walk and therefore, this hotel is very ideal. Always clean,staff attentive at all times. The area around has been seriously cleaned up and renewed of late, great improvement. The hotel is what it is a budget stay and for us exactly what we want.

We stayed here for the Northampton Saints v Lyon rugby, was a short walk to the ground, and close to the Metro. Was an excellent location, staff were friendly and spoke English, as we couldnt speak French this was very useful.

Ideally situated for our visit. Staff very pleasant and attentive. Facilities good as it appeared new or recently refurbished. Down side no kettle but we have come to expect that. We got what we paid for and as previously said ideal for our trip.

Low Cost & Good Local Area
Stayed 2 nights whilst visiting ENS which is only a short walk. Good transport links with nearby Metro stations and a choice of restaurants all within walking distance. Otherwise the local area is quiet, perfect for a good night's sleep. The accommodation is perfectly acceptable for a short stay on business.

Good place to stay.
Although hotel is not in the centre it is very close to two underground stations and a tram stop, which makes getting around really easy and cheap. It is close to Lyon rugby stadium and has a great bar Ninkinsi (they brew their own beers) and a very good Japanese restaurant very close by. The staff in the hotel were friendly and helpful and there is 24hr room service.

Clean and affordable
A bit cramp-y, but ok. Good air condition (quite rare for Europe). You get a table, a chair, TV, a mysterious sofa/soft chair (I presume it could be pulled out and convert to bed/sleeping contraption, but then you will not be able to do much else in the room but sleep). You get a space to hang your cloths, but there is really no place to put you suitcase (or two). No other amenities in the room, but there is a free tea and coffee from the machine in the breakfast room at any time. Overall, it is not something to write home about, but you will not regret staying there either.

a decent option near the university
Room was clean and fixtures were in good condition. Strangely, the "double bed" and "two single beds" are actually the same thing, they just push them together or apart respectively. When I arrived my room was in "double bed" configuration. Then after the first day it got changed into "two single beds" configuration. When I mentioned that I preferred the double bed, I was informed that that costs more. The speed of the WiFi Internet was abysmal, it took close to a half hour just to download email attachments. There were some weird banging noises coming from above (no, not that kind of banging, more like somebody dropping marbles on the concrete floor at all hours of the night), I'm not sure what that was about or how much the hotel could do about it. One night there was also the smell of cigarette smoke coming through the ventilation. I assume that this was one of me neighbors violating the no-smoking policy. Otherwise, the stay was quite nice. The breakfast option (10€) is a good bet, as the selection is decent and there's not much else to eat in the morning in that neighborhood. Staff was very polite and helpful. Overall, would use again.

Good clean budget hotel
Breakfast was much nicer than anticipated- all self service, but good selection. Hotel small, rooms small but service very friendly and nice that you can order food at the bar and bring it to your room. Neighborhood a bit quiet but not far from the metro stop, so location was fine for me.

clean, but minimal room
The room had everything necessary and was clean. It was small for two people, and I would have preferred that there was an extra towel (hand towel), in addition to the one bath towel per person.

good room, great price
We chose this hotel because of its proximity to this year's (2013) Tour de France finish in Lyon. It was literally a 5 minute walk from the finish. It may not be a great location for general sightseers and tourists, as it's a bit removed from "the sights". However it was clean, convenient, well run, and extremely reasonable.

Good location, but noisy
This was primarily a business trip. The room was very clean, and the internet worked well. One problem with the internet is that the guest rooms are limited to 200 MB per 24 hour period. So it is fine for email, but not as good for surfing (if you cannot sleep). The bed was comfortable, and the shower was very good. The hotel is away from the main tourist parts of the city, but close to the subway (which is cheap and easy to navigate). The neighborhood has a lot of night life, which is great, but can interfere with sleeping until about 2 AM. The windows are thick and soundproof, but the room will get hot if the air conditioning isn't working and you keep the windows closed. If you open them, then you will hear a lot of people talking outside until very late. It might be better to ask for a rear-facing room when you check in. The local restaurants are good for all meals, but it is more likely that you would grab something quick nearby (several options, and easy to find) and head for the subway. The hotel is on the same subway line as the main train station, so getting to it is pretty easy. One subway transfer will get you the core of the old city and the main attractions in about 10 minutes. One thing to remember about the subway is that it only takes coins (no paper money or credit cards), so be ready for that, and the rides cost a couple of Euros. The main station has a few shops above it, but they would not give change unless we bought something. As 2-star hotels go, this one was really nice, and is clean, comfortable and very well run. The price was excellent (off season), and there is a small bar downstairs. There are also several bars and restaurants all around though, so there are lots of options. It is the kind of hotel where you go to sleep, and then spend the rest of the time running around the city. But as a place to sleep and shower, it was really excellent.
