Restaurant needs improving
Trying to get drinks was pretty poor in the restaurant, I had the chef’s choice for my main meal, steak and fries, meat was terrible, probably one of the worst I’ve had, the starters were lovely!

It was a wonderful stay. The hotel is brand new, sparkling clean and very comfortable. It has a metro station steps away, so it’s perfectly connected to the rest of the city.

Steps from the metro stop. Large fenced perimeter and welcoming modern entryway. Rooms are quiet, average size, and comfortable for resting after a day of wandering Lyon.

I liked that the hotel and room was unique and it was overall a good experience. I did not like that the restaurant was not available for dining because it was reserved for some events on multiple days during my stay.

Very clean and updated, easy to park and nice to have a restaurant on site (although hours are a little strange).
Our shower did not have a rubber stopper on the bottom, so the water would flow into the main bathroom area.

Great hotel for rugby
We were visiting Lyon for the Rugby World Cup and we’re delighted to discover on arrival that the Ne Zealand All Blacks were also staying. Being a small, intimate hotel, we felt like part of the All Blacks party. Special mention to Martial for great service. Thank you.

Modern clean hotel.Rooms smart and clean but bit soulless. Rooms have only a tiny table and stool (forget using your laptop again desk) and no facilities for making hot Dr.
Guestsallowed one bottle of water on day 1 and that's it.
Breakfast budget good as it should be for €19 but there is NO other option in the vicinity.

The hotel is far from city center, we should have checked the location more thoroughly and there was lots of graffiti in the walkable area. Metro line was shut down for three days, otherwise it would have been easier to get to city center.

eras tour stay with friends
the weirdest place I have ever stayed. service was sporadic and they are weird with their food service. Sometimes close early sometimes they dont serve room service at all even though it says 24/7. There is no restaurants anywhere around this place either. very industrial feel inside but theoutside gardens are very nice. One of the night desk person was VERY RUDE. dont think I'd stay again. breakfast not great for the money but where else are you going to go?
