Pros +
- Good location, spacious rooms, clean, affordable stay
- The location
- Room was really large and very clean. We had two beds and bathroom was quite large too. Location is quite good, near Bastille and markets and nice Restaurants.
Cons -
- The queen bed was actually two beds stuck together, which was not comfortable to sleep in.
- I picked this hotel because it says on booking.com that there was an airport shuttle available at this hotel, so I decided to splurge a little. Once I arrived to the hotel I was informed that there was no airport shuttle. This was really upsetting because it’s the entire reason I chose this place. Once I was given my room key and went to the room I found that it was dirty. Wet towels on the bathroom floor, unmade bed, garbage (photos attached). The front desk staff did switch me to another room and apologized, but it really turned me off. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel, honestly would have had a better experience at a hostel.
- The reception area is very cold and looks old. I think a little more decoration could make a difference.

We loved the funny and kind receptionist. We also liked the quiet street out front and the many bicycle parking slots around the area. The hotel was close to a busier street with lots of restaurants, bars etc., so conveniently situated while still well-placed for undisturbed sleep. Also, the crooked stairs charmed us; they made the whole hotel feel lived-in and charismatic.
We were not perfectly comfortable with the bathroom door not closing. The whole bathroom was also a tad too cramped for our liking, and with the shower doors not properly aligned (and the shower head fixed in place) the floor was wet after showering no matter what we tried. Hopefully it was just our room and not a general thing.
Nice location
We stayed here in December and had no hot water for 2.5 days during sub-zero temperatures. Throughout our stay, we were repeatedly given empty promises that the issue would be fixed “soon”, which never happened.While still on site, we asked about a refund, but were told to “contact them via mail” - which now clearly feels like a deliberate delay tactic. Instead of taking responsibility, the hotel is now only offering a voucher, which is unacceptable. After this experience, we have absolutely no interest in returning to this place.
The room was more spacious than we initially thought and the location close to Gare de Lyon is convenient for commuting with good connections to the airports, including night buses. The room was clean and tidy and the cleaning staff was very kind. Comfy bed and the toiletries were good quality too. The aircon worked miracles heating the room and the towel radiator in the bathroom is a top convenience thing to have. Super stylish and artistic receptiom, totally puts you in the mood that the hotel is a well taken care of establishment.
For 2 nights, the hotel did not have hot water. This caused major discomfort for us as we could not prepare for our social events and we ended up showering at a friend's house which is simply unacceptable. The staff looked like having dealt with this before and it seems to be a classic story. They tried to play the event down but it waa very clear that it happens often, just not for so long. Finally, when we were checking out, we wanted to take a video of the reception for our memories, as it was very stylish, and the nighttime receptionist was very abrupt, asking us to check our phone to see if he was in the video, asking us to delete the video with him slightly showing and consistently telling us that the reception was on the hotel's website if we needed memories and asking us if something was wrong. Last time I checked, hotel reception areas are public areas in France. This experience was the least weird and felt very intrusive.
The location, cleanliness, safety, comfort and value were excellent. We needed to be close by, and this hotel was perfect for us. Additionally, the staff treated us well. There was someone attending the lobby area at all hours, which added to the feeling of security. We liked it so much here that we extended our stay.
Spear towels and tissues in the bathroom cupboard.Good location with amenities nearby.
The room was dusty, no facilities of making a hot drink in the room.
Great location 10 min away from Gare de Lyon and Bastille. Lots of bars and restaurants nearby
Nothing, small and very decent hotel
Excellent. Very clean room and very useful location.Staff was nice, which is a plus
Close to Gate de Lyon, which is what we needed last minute. Staff were nice and helpful. The bed was comfortable.
All a bit worn down and bathroom could have been cleaner.
Good location and had air conditioning perfect to cool off for the heat wave.Room service was good.
The room smelled like previous people smoked inside the room.
Near the Gare de Lyon train station.
Bathroom not clean enough. Shower gel container empty. Curtain stuck in the rail. Details but needing attention.
Rooms are ok and quiet, beds are great, location also, no false promises here.
Unfortunately, the hotel looks like it was nice ten years ago, and a little negelcted in the meantime. For this price, you would expect a coffee machine and a fridge in your room with some water.
The bed was super comfortable and the bathroom was quite large. Staff was super nice as well.
Excellent location, quiet and central. We did not take breakfast. The beds were very good, though a bit squeaky.
The neighbouring guests came at 2-3 am and talked aloud in the corridor for quite long.
The location is calm
No hot water,, pain on the shower curtain,electricity partially broken, no noise from the street but from the neighbor room , safe not fixed on the wall,.. and old towel in the room... And much more
