The hotel is ideally located close to the metro station, making it convenient to explore Lyon. While the rooms were clean, they had some issues like dated decor and a few maintenance problems. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which added a nice touch to our stay. On the downside, the dining options left a bit to be desired, and I felt the value for money could be improved due to the overall condition of the facilities.
