Lovely Lyon
Though outside of the city centre, the hotel still boasts a lovely location. With the Gare de Vaise metro and rail station a short walk away, you can be in Vieux Lyon (Old Town) within a ten-minute ride. Alternatively, you can walk there – guests say it takes about 40 minutes on foot. In the local neighbourhood, you can find several great dining options, some from Paul Bocuse, and a cinema for rainy days.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Kitchen and Dining
Guests were disappointed that there was an additional charge to use the kitchenette, even the dishes. Though they are not as well equipped as expected. A lot of the dishes are disposable, and the hob is more of a hot plate. In addition, the breakfast is not complimentary either, and ends pretty early. Guests also noticed that the local area offers few dining options during breakfast.
negative:
Weak Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi can be problematic at times, or not working at all in the rooms.
negative:
Local Traffic
Guests reported that traffic noise can be an issue, but it depends on the day. Though the rooms are soundproofed, background noise is still evident if you’re sensitive to sound.
