excellent stay near gare de lyon

helpful staffmodern stylepayment policy
i appreciated its proximity to the gare de lyon. the staff were consistently helpful. i found the room very comfortable. the modern style room also featured good lighting.
the payment policy was somewhat inconvenient. i encountered issues with my visa debit card regarding the deposit, despite prepaying for the room. i did not have a credit card.

the location was ideal, very close to the train station! the room was beautiful and super clean, exactly perfect. the air conditioning worked amazingly well, a blessing.
i found the bed in the room to be two singles pushed together, a bit disappointing. the sound isolation wasn't great, and hallway sounds were noticeable. also, there were no coffee facilities available in the room.
