The hotel is small, quiet and cute, and is located only a 7-10 minute walk from the main train station in Lyon (Gare de Lyon-Part-Dieu; the TGV from Paris arrives here, as well as the direct tram service to/from the airport). It is also a short walk from the Brotteaux Metro stop. The area is generally on the quieter side, so if you're looking to step out the door into bustling activity this may not be the place for you, but with the Metro it is easy enough to travel to the more happening parts of Lyon, and if one prefers a door-to-door ride then there's also Uber (10 minutes, 20 in traffic, to Place Bellecour, the center of the city). My room was simple but modern, with a noticeable color concept for the decor and bedding (my room was red and black), and a large mirror and waterfall shower in the bathroom. Both the bed and the room itself were larger than I was expecting, given the price I paid for the room (cheap) and my experience with hotel rooms in Europe in general (which tend to be on the smaller, almost monastic side). The staff were friendly and helpful, even with my limited French; most importantly for how I travel, however, the room and the hotel at large were very, very clean. I travel a fair amount and so I am willing to be flexible on many things, but cleanliness is a non-negotiable, with convenience to public transportation a close second; the hotel had both. If I were passing through Lyon in the future I would gladly stay here again!
