Location
Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is situated in a quiet neighborhood, close to the Bocuse food hall and just a few blocks from the riverfront. It's easy to access by car, but lacking a bit in nearby bistro options. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with a big bed, although missing a seating area. The service is friendly and helpful, despite being short-staffed. The dining is slightly overpriced, but the full breakfast is a highlight. Location is convenient but a bit distant for a tourist stroll, and the area is close to a fantastic food market.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The room was comfortably big, fitting 2 double beds and still leaving plenty of space to move around freely. The service from the Garage Restaurant was nice, although there was a slight hiccup with unblocking deposits. The location, while not in the historic part of the city, offers easy access by car and has convenient parking. The dining experience was great with a variety of choices for breakfast. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor inconveniences.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious with two double beds, but lacked essential work and seating areas. The bathroom was nice, but the toiletries were basic. Unfortunately, the rooms were too hot even with the heating turned off completely.
The hotel offers clean, spacious, and quiet rooms overlooking a small street, providing a comfortable stay. The service is fantastic with helpful and cooperative staff. The location is convenient for exploring the city but limited dining options nearby. The dining experience is good with a substantial breakfast. Overall, a solid choice for a pleasant stay.
The hotel is conveniently located near Part-Dieu, making it easily accessible. The rooms are nice but small for 4 people, and there were some issues with payment methods. The service is efficient with helpful staff, though the automatic check-in lacks a personal touch. The location is convenient for business travelers and those seeking a quiet area, albeit undergoing construction works. The dining offers a good variety but may be a bit pricey. Overall, a decent choice for those looking for a functional stay.
