    I think the directions should stipulate that if you put One FOOT unto the greenery, you’ve already gone to far. You basically need to do a sharp left, when exiting the underpass. I thought that somewhere like this could have some international tv channels, but I understand Lyon is one of the places that English is not spoken so much. Nonetheless.

    I liked the friendliness of the reception, and the help offered to help me up the stairs. I liked the aesthetics of the place. Just very on point. Everything was kind of bijou and what you needed. The actual place kind of reminded me of London and people long passed who would engage me with stories of ‘Lyon’s Tea House’ pronounced ‘Lions’ so it was super touching. I had a pretty lengthy walk between the two stations, where I was to get a train to my next location. I felt the city had a very safe and peaceful feel, though of course one must be vigilant. I thought the swimming pool looked amazing.

    It is an old building so you will hear people going up and down the stairs. It is situated next to a train station with everything that includes.

    Nice hotel at a good price. Polite personnel

    Nothing in particularly as it was good value for money and for what we paid it was a very good compromise.

    the location was spot on, easy walk around the center and restaurants, also close to Perache train station, which is a big plus as the weater wasn't kind during our stay. The was of a good size, quiet and somehow comfy.

    Nothing

    The location was fantastic, even if you are not coming by train, felt very safe for solo female traveller. The single room was small but very comfortable and my bags were carried up the stairs for me so no worries with not having a lift. What really made this hotel stand out though was the staff. They couldn’t have been more helpful, friendly and happy to share information about their city.

    The hotel's excellent staff and convenient transportation access were overshadowed by the uncomfortably warm courtya

    Unfortunately, we were not entirely satisfied with our room. The window overlooked the courtyard, causing it to become uncomfortably warm at night. Additionally, we found it inconvenient that the water closet was located separately from the shower.

    We appreciated the convenience of public transportation access and found the staff to be accommodating and friendly during our stay at the hotel.

    Location was perfect, next to the train station, so we didn’t have to lug our luggages around. The hotel was also located near the old town and the shopping area, really convenient for travelers looking to stay at Lyon on a short time line.

    All the reception staff at the Hotelo Lyon Ainay were so friendly and pleasant. They offered many helpful suggestions about how we could make best use of our time in Lyon. They really made us feel like most welcome guests. The hotel itself is centrally located with good access to the public transport system. The rooms were clean and very comfortable, with nice en-suite shower facilities.

    Nothing. Maybe a service lift

    This hotel is 5 mins walk from the Lyon Perrache Train Station. There are restaurants and bars beside the hotel. The hotel staff are exceptionally friendly and warm reception. Our rooms on the 1st floor are clean, comfortable and nicely sized. The breakfast was £10 was nice. The shopping areas and places of interest are walking distance (15 mins). Excellent place to stay.

    Room was a bit outdated (but understandable given the 2-stars). Perhaps I'd just recommend changing the shower curtain to glass as it smelled a bit musty.

    Staff were so friendly and helpful. Very convenient to have a 24 hour front desk with the option to check in anytime and leave bags after check out. Bed was more comfortable than expected and it was in a central yet quiet location.
