    No place to put toiletries on in the shower area. Also, water in the fridge seems like pre-filled and not the standard bottled water you get in other hotels for free. But there's a nearby convenient shop where you can buy water in plastic bottles.

    Perfect location, nice room and friendly staff. Although I didn't get a room with street view, windows are big enough to allow light to get into the room.

    View from the room.

    It was clean and as on photos. Surprisingly for Paris there was elevator and nice shower, not small at all, separate toilet. Room had everything you might need for short stay. Location was fantastic, just few minutes walking from Gare de Lyon with direct line to Disney. Around are some really nice bakeries, grocery store that was open on Saturday and super restaurants. We would gladly come back to this place. Special thanks to person who worked on Friday morning, 15th Aug and helped us search for doctor.

    I was out it what seemed to be an adjoining room. I could hear the people in the other room. Fortunately, I was only there for one night and was out for most of my stay.

    The double basins and shower in the bathroom were great. It was super clean. Not a speck of dust or dirt anywhere. I usually hate carpeted hotel rooms cos of the possible musty smell but it smelled fresh and clean.

    We paid in advance for breakfast and were not given any reduction for two children, which would have been nice.

    This hotel is very well located for using the Gare de Lyon. The rooms were clean and quiet. The breakfast was quite good and the staff helpful. Paris was hot and we appreciated the air conditioning

    We enjoyed a Room upgrade which gave us more Space, much appreciated. The bathroom is long and narrow, difficult to navigate if more than one person is inside. Breakfast was varied and tasty but I had to request xtra serviettes both days. Likewise it would have been nice to have access to more plates. Location so close to Gare de Lyon was perfect for us.

    Shower difficult to access, no grab rails & slippy surface.

    Small compact room but nicely furnished and made use of the space available to provide everything you'dneed from a hotel bedroom. Spotlessly clean, lovely comfy bed and pleasant room temperature. Great location near Gare de Lyon & some decent bars and places to eat. Great value for money

    The sofa in the room had a stain on it but the rest of the room was very clean. The lobby and breakfast area was very small.

    Room was great for a one-night stay. Our room was perfectly quiet and spacious. Shower was difficult to use as no glass or curtain to stop the water from getting everywhere so only used hand-held shower portion. We liked the water-fill up station readily available on the first floor.

    Only problem was glass in shower was insufficient to stop water wetting floor - very slippery and had to use towels to dry each time. But hot water was good!

    Breakfast was very nice but not exceptional. Staff were helpful. The location is very handy to Le Gare major rail station. Also lots of cafes and grocery store close by.

    Breakfast. We took on only one day. Just functional and room small and not cosy. Good options nearby (recommend Brasserie European opposit station - excellent and with character.

    Nicely decorated room and a goo size for Paris. Seeme newly renovated -decor excellent. Beds very good and all one could ask for in terms of function: kettle, good hot shower, hairdryer, safe, soundproofing, black-out curtains, lighting (bright in daytime).
