Find 3-Star Hotels in Rhone

Raphael at the front desk spoke to me in Japanese, which I really appreciated. He must be studying very hard. It made me incredibly happy. Even though it was scorching hot in Lyon, I was able to relax in a nicely air-conditioned room. Most importantly, the hotel is super close to Part-Dieu station, which was perfect for me as I wanted to leave early in the morning! The entrance is a bit hard to find, but it shows up correctly if you set walking directions on Google Maps.

Staying in this hotel was quite a miserable experience, barely adequate for a hostel, never mind a 3 star establishment. The room (although quite clean) was tiny for our party of two. The luggage occupied almost half of the floor, making us jump over it when we needed to move across the room. The window was facing the railway, which was expected on the one hand, but sleeping with it open was very noisy in the morning. Here is the list of things that were missing compared to a standard hotel experience: - no kettle (had to be asked for) - just two paper/plastic cups in the bathroom, no ceramic mugs in the room - no tea, coffee or anything really to have a snack with - no safe in the room (common one at the reception) - no fridge (seriously?) - no slippers (and they don’t provide them) - no towel heaters or radiators in the room - just 3 towels for two people, no hand towels - no bath robes - no bide or hygienic shower - no toilet brush (are you for real?) - one trash can (without a bag) - extremely small rooms, no adequate space for two luggage bags On the positive side, the breakfast was decent, though nothing to write home about. Hot and protein-rich options were definitely limited. The staff were friendly and helpful. However, upon check-in, I was charged 60EUR as a damage deposit which was not stated when I booked a room. I’m yet to have it returned. The hotel/network drives this alleged “eco-friendly” agenda but in reality it’s just extreme economy and penny-pinching at the guests’ expense. Very disappointing. 1/5.

Небольшой отель сразу возле вокзала Перраш. Соответственно добраться максимально просто, на метро, трамвае или поезде. От остановки до отеля 3-4 минуты пешком, но внимательно смотрите карту, чтобы не заблудиться, так как это вокзал, из него куча выходов на разные стороны. Возле отеля есть парочка кафе. В одном из них сидит толпой молодежь, второе для людей посолиднее, французская кухня. Отель старенький, дизайну наверное лет 20 - не меньше. Тесные коридоры на этажах с номерами. Номер небольшой, по сути дела столик и кровать- если день другой переночевать - то ок, на дольше - не советую, тесновато. Душевая в санузле тоже крошечная, не представляю, как там помыться крупному человеку. Завтрак до 10 утра, небогатый шведский стол: 3-4 горячих закуски на выбор - омлет, жареный бекон, овощи; сыр и мясные нарезки, немного выпечки. Но в целом позавтракать достаточно. Сотрудники говорят на английском, дружелюбные. В целом, для своей цены за 120-130 евро неплохо, но не вау. Расположение отличное, номер неплохой, сам отель несколько устаревший

Overall, I was extremely satisfied with the hotel. In particular, I think its location is probably the best you can get in Lyon for a short stay. I also believe it was a very good choice in terms of price-performance. Of course, you can pay much higher rates to stay at more luxurious hotels, but this one more than meets all the essential needs. The welcome was always warm and friendly. The hotel entrance was very beautiful. The room and bathroom were spotless, and the bed was also excellent and perfectly clean.  I also truly appreciated the hotel’s commitment to reducing plastic use and protecting the environment. It meant a lot to me and made me really happy to see this.  I truly enjoyed my stay at this hotel.

It’s our first time to try this BNB hotel, We felt very satisfied with this hotel, good location with 5 minutes away from the Metro station and there’s a big supermarket just opposite the hotel, Also the hotel is not expensive but with good service, the staff there are very friendly and kind. We will sure to stay there again when we go there in the future.

The location is good in the sense that it is close to the tram station. Unfortunately, there were a few homeless tents set up directly under the bridge between the tram station and the hotel, and we had to walk past them to get to the hotel. That part felt a bit unsafe. However, aside from the homeless tents located directly under the bridge, the surrounding area was very clean, and we didn’t see any graffiti at all. The bridge area was really the only part that felt uncomfortable. When we arrived around 1:00 PM, no one was at the front desk. There was a sign saying the staff member was in the breakfast area, but there was no indication of where that was. A phone number was provided, but no one answered when we called. We understood that check-in wasn’t until later, but we simply wanted to leave our luggage so we could start exploring the city. After waiting about 20 minutes, a staff member finally arrived and informed us that our room would not be ready until 5:00 PM, even though the stated check-in time is 3:00 PM. We came back around 6:00 PM to check in, and the ladies assisting us were really nice and welcoming, which helped improve the overall experience. We rented this place with another family, and they were able to place us on the same floor next to each other, which was super awesome and very much appreciated. Once we were checked in, we did like the hotel. We requested that the sofa be converted into a bed for our girls, and this was done promptly, which we really appreciated. We stayed for only two nights, and there was no housekeeping service during our stay. It’s unclear whether housekeeping would be provided for longer stays. We were expected to take out our own trash and keep the kitchen area clean. While I understand washing dishes and cleaning up after ourselves, having to dispose of trash ourselves was inconvenient and should have been clearly communicated on the website. It was also odd that guests are expected to clean, yet dish soap and sponges are not provided unless you specifically ask for them. Overall, I wouldn’t consider this an aparthotel, as it lacks many services typically provided by a hotel. It feels more like a furnished apartment rather than a hotel-style accommodation. That said, we paid less than $100 USD per night during New Year’s Eve, which is excellent pricing. I would stay here again for the price and the level of service provided, but it would be helpful if the self-service expectations and the surrounding walking conditions were clearly communicated beforehand—for guests who may be willing to pay more for less work or for those who are not comfortable walking past the homeless area.

The bed is too narrow, I dare not turn over at night. The hotel is in a good location, very close to the subway station, and the surrounding area should be a residential area, very quiet. There are also many small restaurants

The hotel was relatively clean and nice for a short stay. The rooms are minimalist. Breakfast was decent. The workspaces and waiting areas are a real plus, with comfortable armchairs and plenty of power outlets, microwaves, kettles, etc. However, the only downside was that I had received an email before my stay where I could add options, including a late check-out at 3 pm for an extra €8. But upon arrival, it was clearly stated everywhere that the room had to be vacated by 1 pm. This was complicated when you're working remotely and have to wait until 3 pm to check into your second hotel. My room on the 3rd floor had a strong smell of disinfectant with a hint of cat litter; I had to sleep with the window open. But overall, it's a very good hotel concept.

Because it is just outside the subway station, it is very convenient! There is also a parking lot underground, allowing direct access to the hotel. When I use it, it just replaces Kyriad and ibis.

My overall conclusion is that this was a nice hotel which was worth the money paid, but that doesn't mean I liked absolutely everything there. The important stuff - it was spacious, it was quiet, it was very clean. The not so important, but could bring you some nail bites - the reception works until 9pm - and after that you're on your own. If you have a late check-in... there was no communication from the hotel side prior to that, so it was a surprise. Luckily the phone seen somewhere on the wall lead me to calling someone (after midnight actually) who told me on the phone a code for the safe holding the envelope with my key. But if the hotel door was locked (and it usually is)... I don't know what I would do. But apart from that, everything else was a pleasure. Thanks!
