Good hotel with friendly staff.
Short stay, good condition for a 3 star hotel. Receptionist was polite. You can have access to underground carpark if driving with a €12 charge. No issues.

Dont stay here
Front desk gentleman extremely rude. Not helpful with parking and accused us of letting csts into the garage behind us. When checking out after 3 days the older lady in reception had trouble with running our credit card snd suggested we mydt be over our credit limit? When she tried the other machine it went thru immediately. We were asked to use the same towels for three days when i asked for an extra towel it was really big deal. This is a one star hotel.

Gute Lage und es ist eine Empfehlung wert.
Haben das Hotel für die Durchreise genutzt und wollten uns Lyon ansehen. Nur kurzer
Weg zur Metro und damit schnelle Anbindung.
Die Zimmer hatten einen guten Standart und waren modern eingerichtet. Betten haben sich gut gelegen. Durch Nutzung der Tiefgarage, Anreise auch mit Auto kein Problem. Frühstück war sehr reichhaltig und in einer guten Qualität.
