My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. On the plus side, it has a fantastic location near the Rhone River and a friendly atmosphere with helpful staff. However, I encountered some issues during check-out related to extra charges that were frustrating. The breakfast had its moments, but overall, I felt the value for money could have been better, especially with the parking fees added on top.

Rooms

7.0

The room was spacious and the bed was quite comfortable, but there were some minor annoyances like the table being wobbly and the lack of decorative touches. It felt a bit bare and was let down by basic toiletries in a tiny bathroom.

Service

8.0

The service was generally good, with staff being accommodating and even arranging a lovely charcuterie plate when I missed lunch. They were also friendly, although there was a bit of a language barrier at times.

Location

9.0

The hotel is perfectly located for exploring the city, just a short walk across the Rhone River to cafes and shops. It's also not far from the bustling Part Dieu shopping mall.

Dining

7.0

Dining at the hotel was decent, with a good variety of foods at breakfast, though it felt a tad pricey compared to other options nearby.

Facilities

6.0

The facilities included a gym with modern equipment, but the pool was smaller than expected—more suitable for cooling off than for swimming laps.

I recently stayed at this hotel for a city break and found it to be quite comfortable, with a nice breakfast and a friendly atmosphere. The rooms were spacious and clean, but I did miss having more seating options. While the location was convenient, it might take a bit of walking to reach some major attractions. Overall, it's a solid option, but some areas could see improvement.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were clean, they were quite basic and lacked a desk, which was a downside for my business stay. The breakfast was substantial with plenty of choices, but the service at check-in was frustrating. The location, however, was pretty convenient for getting around the city, though there was some ongoing construction nearby that made access a bit tricky.
