    Pros +

    • We stayed for one night, was just off of the highway. Clean and generally like an American hotel. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. It was late on a Sunday, so not too many restaurants were open. We ate at the restaurant next door- it was literally the worst food on our entire trip to France. Not the hotels fault at all, but just a heads up.

    The room was very quiet and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. The room was very dark which is excellent.

    The coffee or the milk was off. However the staff made me a cafe latte from the Nescafé machine behind the bar.The water for boiled eggs took forever to heat and though I left the egg in for 5 minutes it came out semi cooked.

    9MadeleinePosted on: 4-4-2025

    Great location. Very clean and comfortable.

    Cooking my eggs for breakfast!

    10SarahPosted on: 9-18-2024

    Location is perfect right in front of the tramway and train station. Breakfast and roomservice were great as well. Bonus for the gym.

    10KevinPosted on: 6-30-2024

    Fantastic location right opposite the train station but without any noise from the trains. Very comfortable bed, great shower and an outstanding breakfast!

    There was nothing to dislike.

    Facilities at this hotel were excellent value for money. Great for a quick stop over while travelling south. Room was excellent, and staff were friendly and helpful. We didn’t venture in to town.

    Nice Modern Hotel with friendly staff. Rooms are a good size and beds were comfy. Good choice of breakfast. Unfortunately the roof top terrace was closed but the pub/restaurant next door was more than adequate with helpful and friendly staff.

    8KimPosted on: 5-3-2023

    The Novotel and Ibis hotels share a building across the street from the train station, with trams stopping right in front. It's a short tram ride into the centre of town or a 20 minute walk. Safe, quiet neighbourhood. Staff were very friendly and helpful; lobby was cheerful. We didn't have the breakfast. Room was small but conveniently appointed. We heard a little bit of train noise (or maybe it was a garbage truck), but very muffled; didn't bother us.

    Novotel usually feels a bit more luxurious, with more spacious rooms.

    8PiredduPosted on: 4-19-2023

    The breakfast was of good quality and varation. Parking under the hotel

    Invoice was wrong but correted super fast. Info from hotel was received after leaving. But could also be mistake of booking.com

    8KimPosted on: 4-14-2023

    The location across the street from the train station was very convenient for us; it's a pleasant 20 minute walk into the centre of town, but there are also several busses and trams. We could hear the trains a little bit from our room, but in general the room was quiet. Staff were universally friendly and helpful.

    I prefer a firmer bed, but otherwise everything was comfortable and clean.

    8Bobski2Posted on: 2-13-2023

    Small Novotel right near to Saint Etienne station and tram stop. Parking available under the hotel (extra payment). It's a Novotel - you get what you expect and a good standard! Staff were superb; ran us up a nice pizza from the restaurant when we arrived late in the evening. Rooms good.

    Room was very hot (it was winter but nonetheless hot in the room); opened window during the night to cool down.

    9Sergio C. S.Posted on: 12-17-2022

    I have been several times to this hotel. It has a very convenient underground parking place with direct access to the rooms.

    The breakfast buffet at €19,50 per person seems expensive when considering the options outside the hotel.

    location close to tram.

    No coffee in room, very basic furniture towels and enmities. the staff was not very helpful or experienced.
