Hôtel très bien situé pour visiter la ville de Lyon, mais c’est tout!
Ascenseur hors d’usage durant notre séjour de trois nuits!
Air climatisé hors d’usage donc dormir avec la fenêtre ouverte sur la rue bruyante jusqu’au milieu de la nuit!!!!
Le déjeuner sur place offert est trop cher, donc aller déjeuner aux restos juste à côté.
Chambre correcte avec literie confortable toutefois pas de draps, seulement une couette. Trop chaud pour dormir à moins d’être en camping dehors!!!
L’hôtel a besoin d’un bon nettoyage dans les espaces communs.

Lage perfekt, für französische Verhältnisse und bei diesem Preisniveau ein überraschend gutes Frühstücksbüffet. Ganz besonders nettes Personal und gratis Wasser im Voyer. Die ehemalige Schule wurde mit Charme eingerichtet. Für ein bis zwei Tage ist es okay, ansonsten ist die Einrichtung in den Zimmern sehr spärlich.
We had 4 nights here and were very happy with our stay. Rooms are comfortable (with a/c) and have a kettle but no mini-fridge. The decor in the hotel is interesting as it was apparently an old school, so there are desks etc. A real plus is the roof terrace with many plants---we could sit there in the evening and relax. Location is great---very close to a bus stop and to old Lyon and its many shops and eating places.
