    I could not see a kitchen and the place lacks a bit in maintenance.

    the place is amazing really big and antique. The staff are really good and kind.

    - a bit unrenovated but i think that is the concept - bring earplugs for other rooms or the street

    - friendly, respectful, and considerate receptionist - late checkin with codes and keys was well-organized - great location, accessible to centre and main stations - clean and simple, but also with a fan

    No air conditioning, a fan but very noisy as it rotated. My wife refused to use the shower for reasons of hygiene and the long pillows were without covers, and seemed stained. Noisy guests in other rooms were easily audible over our TV.

    Location. Big room.

    Toilet across the hall in another corridor. Shower room always wet, no space to hang clothes in there.

    The self-service check-in and check-out system available 24/7. The location close to the city centre and train station. Bed sheets included in the booking, small soaps were a nice surprise.

    it was a really hot day and there were wasn’t a fan or anything in my room so it took my a long while to fall asleep in the heat.

    Honestly, it’s as advertised. Did the job of giving me a bed in central lyon to stay in for cheap. it’s a nice old place and the room was a decent size for a single :)

    For.sure the property could be cleaner but you get what you paid for

    Well it was the cheapest single room in area I needed. The hotel.is a bit old and renovation for sure would help. But hey it was 3 times.xheaper then anything else. The manager was fine and offered a coffee

    There is no shower, and the walls do not isolate sound, You can easily hear others even if they talk in a low voice.

    Love the location, the staff and basic utilities

    The shower was extremely small.

    Central location, close to the metro. Rooms were very basic and dated. However, for the price and location, I can't really complain. Staff were very friendly, and the hotel felt secure. This is not a luxury hotel or a chain, it's a bed for a few nights at a decent cost.

    The hotel provides excellent value for its price. While the furniture is somewhat old, it is well-maintained, with everything in good working condition. The apartment, linens, and bathroom were clean, and hot water was consistently available. The hotel's location was highly convenient for me, making it an excellent choice for a short stay at a reasonable price.

    Almost total absence of Wi-Fi on the second floor inside my room. I had to stay in the corridor or sometimes go to the first floor to catch it to do my work. Wi-Fi was very important for me, and it really disturbed my stay not to have it within the room.

    The room was very good.

    My room smelled like cigarettes. The neighbors that live beside the hotel scream all day long and the walls/windows are not enough to hold the noise.

    It’s cheap. That’s it.
